Very useful in monitoring nearly static websites. A nice feature make you able to monitor only a specific area of a page, i.e. to make monitoring insensible to date/time changes.

Faultless tool. Tidy compact interface, no frills, designed to do a job and does it very very well. Perfect to flag up that someone has signed a guestbook, or new content has been added to a page, if it has, just click the page in the interface and it opens. Has option to only check parts of a page, and can keep a log of when pages changed or were unavailable.

Proxy password stored unencrypted

Very nice, but if you use a proxy, the password required for authentication will be stored unencrypted in the registry. If you don't type the password in the configuration, there won't be any prompt, and the connection will fail. There's another competitor product, .., but I didn't check it, because it's quite new and doesn't seem to offer the functionality to only monitor *part* of a web page. But I may be wrong.

This is the best web page monitoring program out there. Unlike other programs, this one works on everything, even RSS feeds. It uses a very simple interface that is well laid out. It has all the right features, as if the developer read my mind and saw exactly what I wanted. You get a little pop up, you can pick sound effects, tell it which page to open, set how often it checks for updates to pages, and specify which part of the HTML to look for changes. It is most definitely the best out there.

Webmon is one good example how help-utilities should be designed. Simple and self-explanatory straightforward. A few more options for narrow down and include/exclude webpage-content would be nice though.

Does the job for many webpages.

- Overall:
Works well for most (simple) webpages. Webpages with advertising or which display the time, for example can be a problem. One solution is to limit Webmon's area on the webpage to be watched (via start and endpoints based on fixed text). Sometimes that is not practical. Like I said, much of the time that is not a problem. So for about 80% of what I might like to watch, this is a great solution. Well written software. Good options. Nice interface.
