Abstract. Her X-1 is one of the most intensively studied accreting X-ray pulsars. The source was regularly observed with \textsl{Rossi XTE} since its launch in 1996 which allowed us to monitor X-ray spectral and timing properties of the source. In July--August 2005 and September 2007 Her X-1 was observed with INTEGRAL.
In both cases the observations covered a substantial part of the source's Main-On states. Both satellites contributed significantly to the understanding of the physical processes in the binary. We discuss the results obtained with RXTE and INTEGRAL in the context of our current understanding of the system's phenomenology.
