"Our editors are tough, in-the-trenches critics," Paulsen continued. "They demand solid value and performance from the products they select. Editor's Best Award winners can feel proud that the products and services they developed have earned the respect and recognition of the Windows IT Pro editorial staff." Windows IT Pro wrote about Longitude:

"Heroix Longitude is monitoring and reporting software for heterogeneous environments. It runs on multiple Windows and UNIX/Linux platforms and can be used to monitor application servers; Web servers such as Microsoft IIS and Apache; databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL AB's MySQL, and Oracle; Microsoft Exchange email servers; J2EE servers; and various network devices.

"Bret Moeller, CIO of Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, has used Longitude for two years … Before switching to Longitude, the college's previous monitoring solution, according to Bret, 'wasn't dependable [and] failed miserably. We didn't get paged. I didn't know about servers not being operational.' But he's very happy with Longitude, 'even when I get pages at two o'clock in the morning saying the server is down.'

"In addition to Longitude's dependability, Bret also praises the product's reporting capabilities … Bret says he runs these reports for his weekly meetings with the college president, and he uses them as an internal marketing tool to tout his servers' uptime.

"In general, Bret says that Longitude makes his IT department look good because if there's a problem, they can nip it in the bud. He therefore gives the product a five-star recommendation."
