The Vercara UltraWPM is a Web Site Performance Management tool designed to monitor and optimize website performance. According to the vendor, this solution caters to small to large enterprises and is beneficial for IT professionals, web developers, e-commerce companies, financial services, and healthcare organizations.

## Key Features

**Website Monitoring**: According to the vendor, the tool allows users to monitor site performance 24/7 across the globe. The user interface provides both synthetic and real-user monitors, helping to discover a wide range of site issues. It also offers the ability to track performance inside and outside the firewall.

**Load Testing**: The vendor claims that users can test website traffic capacity and identify bottlenecks with this tool. It helps tackle performance problems such as bandwidth limitations and server PU limitation. Users can generate simulated website traffic from a large pool of IP addresses to gain confidence in website capacity for high-traffic events.

**Holistic Perspective**: The vendor states that the tool provides a holistic perspective inside and outside the firewall. It offers extensive diagnostics and multi-domain views, allowing users to set up synthetic and real user monitors from a single interface. Users can choose from multiple real browsers, emulated browsers, or both.

**Website Monitoring Alerts**: Users can configure website monitoring alerts to interpret errors and automatically make contingency decisions, according to the vendor. The tool also allows users to extend alerts to third-party platforms and tools for comprehensive monitoring.

**Synthetic and Real User Monitors**: According to the vendor, users can set up synthetic and real user monitors from a single interface. This feature enables users to gain insights into website performance from different perspectives. Users have the option to choose from multiple real browsers, emulated browsers, or both.

**Bottleneck Identification**: The vendor claims that the tool helps users identify bottlenecks in website traffic capacity. It can also assist in discovering performance problems such as bandwidth limitations and server PU limitation. Users can find areas for improvement that can potentially increase revenue.

**Seamless Customer Experience**: According to the vendor, the tool enables users to ensure a seamless and rewarding customer experience. It allows users to monitor website performance to fix problems that impact customers. Users can keep websites available, pages loading fast, and applications functioning properly. The tool also allows users to proactively address issues before they affect customer satisfaction.

**High Performance Management**: The vendor suggests that users can stay ahead of performance issues with high performance management using this tool. It enables users to test website traffic capacity to find bottlenecks. Users can launch new sites and applications with greater confidence and ensure that the website can handle the required capacity.

**Configurable Alerts**: According to the vendor, users can configure website monitoring alerts to interpret errors and automatically make contingency decisions based on alerts. The tool also allows users to extend alerts to third-party platforms and tools for comprehensive monitoring.

**Comprehensive Diagnostics**: The tool provides extensive diagnostics and multi-domain views, allowing users to gain a complete understanding of website performance, according to the vendor. Users can track performance inside and outside the firewall and identify and resolve a wide range of site issues.

System Monitoring Software continually watches websites' and applications' uptime and provide alerts when uptime becomes downtime. Beyond their basic function they often perform load testing (i.e. how much activity can a service manage at once), root cause analysis (i.e. what happened to cause issues), user monitoring (website visitor data is tracked for knowledge and analysis) and may be bundled into a larger suite of software for monitoring a network, servers, or managing IT assets.

System Monitoring Software

Neustar acts as the robot that mimics how a user would interact with our application. It attempts a login, tries to access some data in our systems by clicking on some specific options, retrieves some data and logs out again. This process shows, from a very rudimentary perspective, that our systems are up and functioning and respond in an amount of time that gauges everything is more or less working as expected. It is mainly used by our developers and operations teams to verify that code is working and deployed as expected, and that our site is up.

It allows access to a history of checks, how much time they took, and if any errors were detected.
It can alert several people, or many in a group, for information related to the application availability.
When drilling down into the check, the logs can pinpoint the exact time and code events and how long each step took to respond.

The interface can be buggy.
We have experienced false positives of a system outage that was not accurate.
It's not a true measure of system performance or uptime, but simply judges up or down from a holistic view.

Our company at one time gauged overall system uptime using Neustar WebMetrics to provide this data
Due to the limitations with the applications ability to show system functionality and uptime we have begun using other methods for determining system uptime for our customers.
The interface can be a bit tricky to understand during first use. There is somewhat of a learning curve.
