Monitor by 2N5 and Site24x7, side by side
| Feature | Monitor by 2N5 | Site24x7 |

It does not count as downtime | Has a Portuguese page on page defacement monitoring; what it measures: not verified (source) |
| Pages that depend on JavaScript | The default read does not run JavaScript; reading with a browser is not on by default and its availability is confirmed in the demo | Not verified |
| Once an hour by default, it sends a test email to a dedicated mailbox, checks whether it reached the inbox or the spam folder, and deletes the test | Has a Portuguese page on mail server monitoring; what it measures: not verified (source) | |
| Voice and VoIP | Real test calls to 0800, 0300, 4004, IVRs and SIP trunks, with MOS-LQO measured on the received audio, against the reference recording (ITU-T P.800.1) | Has a Portuguese page on VoIP monitoring with IP SLA; real test calls to 0800 numbers and IVRs: not verified (source) |
| How it alerts and escalates | Email, in tiers, until someone acknowledges with a tap on the link in the email; failures are repeated before an incident opens | Not verified |

Where Site24x7 is better
- It has Portuguese pages on website defacement monitoring, mail server monitoring and VoIP monitoring with IP SLA.
- Monitor checks each website from a single point, 2N5; if you need checks from several locations, look at what Site24x7 offers, because we did not verify it.
What is the difference between Site24x7 and Monitor?
Site24x7 has Portuguese pages on website defacement monitoring, mail server monitoring and VoIP monitoring with IP SLA. What each one actually measures, the page we read does not say, which is why several cells in the table are marked as not verified. Monitor treats the website and the email as two more kinds of check, beside the real test calls of the voice circuits, on the same dashboard, with the same alert ladder and the same monthly report, and it is a service managed by 2N5.
When should I choose Site24x7?
When you want to confirm with the vendor what its Portuguese pages on defacement, mail servers and VoIP with IP SLA cover, or when you need website checks from several locations, which Monitor does not do today: it checks each website from 2N5. It also makes sense if telephony is not your concern and you only want to watch a website and email.
Where does Monitor fit?
In companies that depend on being reached by phone, website and email and want to know, before the customer does, which of the three failed. On the website, Monitor requests the address at the agreed pace, measures response time, warns when the certificate is near its end and, if you turn on the content check, reads the page’s text, scripts and structure and warns of a change nobody expected. A content change is recorded separately and never counts as downtime. For email, the test checks whether the message reaches the inbox or the spam folder. For phone numbers, Monitor calls 0800, 0300 and 4004 numbers and SIP trunks and measures the MOS-LQO of the received audio; see voice quality. A confirmed failure climbs by email until someone takes ownership; see alerts and escalation and SLA reports. Reading a website with a browser, for pages that depend on JavaScript, is not on by default. See how it works.
How much does each one cost?
We did not verify Site24x7 pricing. Monitor publishes monthly plans in US and Canadian dollars, set by the number of monitored channels and daily tests per channel; the Enterprise plan is on request. Whether the email test is available to new customers is confirmed in the demo. See how to buy and other comparisons. For the whole field, see the guide VoIP monitoring tools in Brazil.

Frequently asked questions
Does Site24x7 detect a hacked or altered website?
It has a Portuguese page on page defacement monitoring. What exactly it compares and how it alerts, we did not verify. Monitor reads the website's text, scripts and structure and alerts when they change unexpectedly; an expected change is accepted on the incident and does not count as downtime.
How does Monitor test that email is arriving?
Once an hour by default, Monitor sends a test email to a dedicated mailbox that your company connects, checks whether it landed in the inbox or in spam, and deletes the test. It is a mailbox nobody reads, so a person never sees the test. If the test does not arrive, the failure is repeated and then becomes an incident.
