We bought version 2.x program and at first were amazed by the bugs. Through updates the author fixed some of them, but not all.
If you plan on using it on any site that has any decent type of traffic, you can forget it. It will crash and burn. Widows do not open, scrolling does not work. Does not capture any real URLs so if you have a dynamic site it is pretty much worthless.
When we first tested this program, we were sadly disappointed at the performance. We had purchased a license to monitor 10 websites. Never once was the program able to monitor 10 websites. It would hang if we added more than 5. If we added any website that had more than 10 visitors at once or 1000 visits a day it would hang.
Contacted Whoson support numerous times, and were promised fixes were due to be released to address the performance problem. Like a fool we waited. Promises after promises.......
As it turns out the author decided to release a new version 3.0 to resolve the numerous issues in version 2.0. Problem is that you have to pay another $90 to upgrade. No updates to version 2.0 as promised. We are more or less stuck with a piece of JUNK version 2.0, which over time has proved USELESS, as the DB has grown to the point where the program will not even start up.
Emailed Whoson support 3 months ago complaining and requesting that version 2.0 be fixed. Again more promises of patches, that never came around.
We did get a chance to view the beta version 3.0 and saw the same problem; too many bugs. Not interested in purchasing another copy, only to be lied to and forced to pay for another upgrade.
Given the integrity and poorly coded version 2.0 I would recommend to stay away. Plenty of competition elsewhere.
Pretty much they will put out a poor program, use you as a BETA tester, than force you to pay for the fixes
