TeamViewer has added a new web monitoring module that lets admins monitor and remotely manage servers, as well as check websites for accessibility and functionality. According to TeamViewer, this will help minimize downtime and missed revenue.
“With the TeamViewer Web Monitoring module as part of the ‘Remote Monitoring and Management’ solution, we offer an integrated service that now also enables the monitoring of your own online presence,” explained Frank Ziarno, director of product management at TeamViewer. “Companies of all sizes are dependent on a functioning website, as nowadays it acts like a business card. Many have also integrated a customer login or web shop. It was therefore obvious to integrate website monitoring in addition to our functions such as workstation and server monitoring, patch management and virus protection.”
