Features and Benefits of SiteMon
Significantly reduce website downtime
SiteMon dramatically reduces the time between problem identification to problem resolution on your corporate website. As soon as we discover an issue with your website, we dispatch an email notification alerting you. Your support technicians don't have to wait for angry customers to complain whenever your site is down - SiteMon will warn them ahead of time so they can begin fixing the problem faster - reducing downtime and maximizing your site's revenue potential. 
Independent external testing from your customer's perspective
Website continuity monitoring is best served by external and outsourced, 3rd party monitoring service. Why? Because a computer security monitoring system that is implemented internally is subject to the same points-of-failure as the sites they are supposed to be overseeing (same computers, networks, dns etc.) It is necessary to keep testing systems completely independent of the systems that are tested.
Also, if you want to constantly check the service that is most visible to your customers then you need to test systems from the same point of view as your customers i.e. the testing service should try to connect to your website in the same way that a customer would. If SiteMon discovers any problems with your website, it is likely that your customers will be experiencing those same problems.
Defacement Monitoring
Your business is represented by your website. Any unauthorized changes to your website can damage your reputation immeasurably. Hackers know this, and take great pleasure in defacing corporate web pages with offensive graphics and text. SiteMon's keyword monitoring service, a proactive early warning system that identifies when text content is changed or removed, provides effective protection against such malicious defacement attacks.
The keyword monitoring service also helps identify unintentional or unauthorized changes to your website by your own employees.
Maximize your website's availability to your global customer base
Business on the internet means your customers live in many different time-zones - so your website has to be available 24/7. What if your staffing levels can't support this round-the-clock availability? How can you be alerted should website failures happen in the middle of the night? SiteMon automatically checks your website every ten minutes and warns you immediately should a problem occur.
A consistent, automated watchdog that could save you thousands of dollars per year in: 1) Staffing costs needed to maintain a similar amount of vigilance 2) Commercial losses due to downtime 3) Cost of paying for a similar service.
