I wasn't expecting too much when I started using Simon; I had used various open source monitoring packages and figured Simon was just going to be a nice GUI to do basically the same thing. I WAS WRONG. Simon is full of nice touches and is a very polished package. The flexibility in setting up a variety of tests and customising the different notifications is simply amazing. And it is so easy to configure. The developer is also very helpful and responsive. This is by far the best software I have purchased this year (& maybe will be all year).
But more to the point, it has already saved me money by giving me a notification about a misbehaving server before the problem became a serious issue.

I have need to track changes on a few websites, and be notified when they change. Simon is perfect for the task, and the developer is amazing at implementing feedback from users. Now I know when my server goes down, and when tracks pages change. I was able to easily set up email notifiers that send me the changes, so I know whether or not I need to visit the site.
David Sinclair, the developer, has implemented a number of changes and variables I've suggested. I'm so impressed that he goes out of his way to please a single user (me) by adding new features and variables. I just explained to him what I wanted to achieve with Simon, asked him if it could be done, and POOF, it was in the next build. He's also extremely quick at replying to emails.
Simon is a very specialized program, and isn't for everybody, but if you have need to monitor a site, or look for changes on some pages, then you have to give Simon a shot. I purchased a Basic License, then upgraded to a Standard License, and I'm seriously considering getting an Enterprise License just to show support for the app, and the developer.

But on the bright side, it forced me to find a modern solution, and with Simon, I've got all the control over my alerts and AP7900 that I need. Server monitoring is back, and with Simon, I feel unleashed from the server room again. The developer has been open and responsive to questions about the product and feature enhancements. Once I outgrow my $60 license, it'll be a no-brainer to move up to Enterprise.
