There is more to the product than looking at the user guide. Yes, it does justify a new release because of the amount of new enhancements. This was not a maintenance fix. So, here are the features:
. Ability to export/import device/map information to an XML and INI file . Colored link lines that can be used to represent interfaces or other services . Increased SNMP monitoring - constants, ranges and rates . Unlimited scripting of TCP/UDP monitoring . An active discovery to add devices add to your network since last network scan . Interface discovery and monitoring . Customizable web templates . Text to speech notification . Improved Reporting interface . Simpler management of Custom Services and Device Types . Simpler management for Alerts . Simpler control panel navigation with tab bars Ok, so this list could go on for a awhile, but there are two things that I would like to readily point out about this release - price and value. The price is still the same, $795 or $1090 with service agreement. The value to your return on investment has increased greatly. With unlimited scripting, you now can now create synthetic transactions that reach into your mission critical applications to monitor their availability. With customizable web templates you can organize the data based upon your organizational schemas, and add private labelling. With export and importing of XML and /or INI files, we have begun to open the architecture of WhatsUp Gold. And still the ROI goes on and on.

I spent yesterday going through the user guide for 7.0. I am not at all sure this new release qualifies for a bump up to a whole new number, it looks like minor fixes to the 6.x code. Is anyone using 7? Does it really justify the upgrade? -- Joy Dunseth Jacques [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Engineer Onvoy/MRNet Phone 612-362-5806 2829 University Ave SE Minneapolis, MN 55414 Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
