Reflex vs native WHM / cPanel monitoring
WHM ships Server Health, service monitors, and account-level views — but each server is its own island. Reflex connects WHM root or reseller API tokens once, syncs every account, and adds email authentication checks, blacklist polling, and optional DNS repair across the fleet.
| Topic | Reflex | Native WHM / cPanel monitoring |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost of ownership (typical stack) | One subscription covers server operations, Git-driven deploys with health gating and rollback where your tier allows, uptime-style checks, and Brain-led remediation — see Pricing for current tiers. | Teams often pay for a server panel, separate deploy automation, monitoring/alerting, and ad-hoc incident tooling — each with its own renewal, integration work, and on-call runbook. |
| Fleet scope | One dashboard for many WHM connections and hundreds of accounts | Per-server WHM login — no cross-server rollup for resellers |
| Email deliverability | SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX per account with copy-paste fixes and auto-repair paths | Manual DNS lookups; no fleet-wide drift detection |
| Reseller mode | Works with WHM reseller tokens — no root required for read-only fleet checks | Resellers see only their accounts inside each WHM session |
| IP reputation | Blacklist polling per server IP with delisting links in Email health | Operators discover listings from customer tickets |
| When native WHM fits | — | Single-server owners who live inside WHM daily |
| When Reflex fits | Resellers and multi-server hosts who need one pane of glass and client-ready reports | — |
