Anyone working in IT Operations, knows that numbers are really important :). Esp, numbers showing availability, downtime, response time etc. I have used, several tools and services during my career to capture these numbers, but have never come across a service that is cost effective and reliable at the same time. I discovered [site24x7.com,](http://www.site24x7.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org) while was evaluating some products from their parent company [AdventNet](http://www.adventnet.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org).

Site24x7.com offers external monitoring for your key network components, at the fraction of the price charged by others in area. I wouldn’t put them on the same scale as [Gomez](http://www.gomez.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org) or [Keynote](http://www.keynote.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org), but for they are very reasonable for the features they offer. Also, while they are lacking in the customer service area per se, they are very quick to add features based on feedback. I provided them (and I am sure several others) some feedback on adding a feature to have setup scheduled maintenance (so that it doesn’t skew with the availability numbers) for the services monitored and they added the feature in less than a month.

If you are looking, for a reasonably priced monitoring service, look no further..
