About AlertKick combines server security and uptime monitoring in one product. A lightweight eBPF agent for Linux detects intrusions, file changes, rootkits, and SSH activity (login alerts, failed-attempt auto-blocking, maintenance lock), with detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and AI triage that attaches a written verdict to each alert. External monitors check HTTP, TCP, and DNS from outside the network, with response-time thresholds, SSL certificate expiry, and domain expiry from live registry RDAP data. Heartbeat monitors catch silent cron and backup failures, and public status pages keep users informed. Alerts flow through escalation policies and on-call rosters to email, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, SMS, and phone calls. Server changes are recorded and attributed for compliance evidence, with PCI DSS and SOX reports on Business plans. Setup is a one-line install per server. The free plan includes 10 uptime monitors and heartbeats - no card, commercial use allowed.		About UptimeRobot is a website monitoring service with a forever free plan that lets you register with just an email and monitor up to 50 websites, servers, or keywords with 5-minute intervals. Setup takes only a few clicks. For faster checks and advanced features, paid plans offer 1-minute or 30-second intervals, along with SSL certificate, domain expiry, and heartbeat (cron job) monitoring. You can also create up to 100 status pages, customize them to match your brand, protect them with a password, and allow subscribers to receive updates. Get notified instantly via email, SMS, voice calls, or integrations with Slack, Zapier, PagerDuty, Splunk On-Call, Telegram, Webhooks, Discord, Mattermost, Pushbullet, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Pushover, and more.

		Pros from Real Users Pros Easy set-up Good overview/dashboard Slim design Already good features in the free version No SPAM Mails, Pop-Ups, constant tries to upsell Easy to use. Easy deployment. It is very cheap compared to other complex and very expensive tools. It has many configuration options. Easy to set up and maintain. Clean and simple user interface. Smart alerts and notifications that don't bombard you with information or repeated requests. We needed a solution to keep a track of how of service, If everything is indeed up. Datadog was too intense. Found uptime to be perfect for our scale. Instant communication on downtime. This is a life saving feature. I like the mobile app version as well Monitors multiple websites easily. Notify you when they're an issue. Reports the length of the outage. Affordable. Used to work, but this is no longer the case. This service cannot be relied on and the support is abysmal. I reported that I have 2 accounts, identical monitor on each. One reported 7 minutes downtime, the other 45 minutes, which one is correct? - their answer: "this is normal". Huh??
