Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold Awarded Bronze Best New Version of the Year

Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 2017, the company’s unified infrastructure and application monitoring software, has been named a Bronze winner in the “Best New Version of the Year” category by the Best in Biz Awards 2016.

WhatsUp Gold 2017 lets IT teams find and fix problems faster, with unprecedented freedom to adapt to changing monitoring needs.

“This award recognizes our team’s passion for helping IT teams keep up with the technological needs of today’s modern businesses,” said Austin O’Malley, Ipswitch Chief Product Officer. “Today’s IT teams need tools that will enable them to quickly and easily locate, understand and solve problems. WhatsUpGold 2017 was designed to do just that, without locking companies into a rigid license structure that makes it impossible to increase or decrease usage.”

The sixth annual North American Best in Biz Awards program garnered more than 600 entries, from U.S. and Canadian public and private companies of all sizes, industries and geographies. Winners of the Best in Biz Awards 2016 were determined based on scoring from an independent panel of 50 judges from widely known newspapers; business, consumer and technology publications; TV outlets; and analyst firms.

“There were tons of great entries this year — it was especially difficult to pick the most worthy candidates out of the many submissions,” said Christopher Null, Wired, returning to the Best in Biz Awards judging panel for the fourth year.
