When should you choose Simrix Monitor?
- You want monitoring rather than a test suite: a handful of journeys watched continuously, not a regression pack to maintain.
- You want change detection and competitor watching in the same tool, included on every plan rather than bought separately.
- You want the alert to be readable by whoever is on duty, with a screenshot and a plain-English summary rather than a test report.

Frequently asked questions
Is Simrix Monitor a testing tool?
It is a monitoring tool. The distinction matters: it watches a small number of journeys continuously on a schedule and tells you when one stops working, rather than running a suite against a build.
Can Simrix Monitor record my steps by clicking through the site?
Not today. You pick a template and point it at a page, choosing the element to click and what should be true afterwards. Region selection does use a live preview of the page.
Can a check test a logged-in journey?
No. Checks always start logged out and there is nowhere to store credentials. A region that looks like a password field is flagged for review rather than blocked.
