Dejal announces Simon 2.0 Beta

A Mac OS X application to monitor sites for changes or failures.

PORTLAND, Oregon -- December 13, 2004 -- Dejal Systems today announced the immediate availability of Dejal Simon 2.0b3, the essential site monitoring tool for Mac OS X. It checks sites for changes or failures, and notifies you via email, sound, speech, or other means. You can use it to track updated sites, and to alert you when an important site goes down or recovers. Developed in Cocoa, it is a native Mac OS X application with an intuitive and attractive user interface.

This is the third beta release of a major upgrade to Simon. Along with many usability improvements, it delivers a much-requested new feature set: a new Port service, that enables you to engage in a telnet-like conversation with any server, e.g. POP, SMTP, SSH, and more. This release includes a significant look and feel overhaul, with new logging, charting, and other improvements. See the release notes for more information.

Pricing & Availability:

Simon is immediately available through Dejal's online store (www.dejal.com/orders/). Three license levels are available: "Basic", allowing up to 3 tests, priced at $29.95 (US); "Standard", allowing up to 10 tests, at $59.95 (US); and "Enterprise", allowing an unlimited number of tests, priced at $195. This beta release has the same licensing requirements as previous versions. Upgrade pricing is to be determined, but it will be a free upgrade for purchasers from July 1, 2004.

A fully-featured trial is available as a free download from www.dejal.com/simon/.
