Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Able to monitor my clients websites by keyword, hosting and different ways. Able to create status reports. Receive sms and phone call is a site goes down. Great UI.
  • Uptime is a reliable and complex solution for us. Great plus are the advanced escalation policies and heartbeats, checking if our background jobs get done.
  • Simple setup. Highly reliable (didn't miss a thing so far). Friendly UI, intuitive workflow. Heartbeats for CRON jobs are a great touch. Highly customizable call scheduling. Loads of integrations. Helpful and friendly support.

  • Fast and reliable incident reporting. Error screenshots and logs. Ping checks every 30 seconds. Heartbeats checking cronjobs. Customizable status pages on custom subdomains.

Cons

  • Sometimes I get notifications saying a site is down but it's not. It's a bit confusing to set up. I don't know what's happening when it gives me error code for some reason but website has not gone down.
  • I didn't really notice any big issues with the service's functionality. We'd appreciate Dark Mode, Telegram integration and some of the advanced features could be available on their lower-tier plans.
  • Status pages lack a few features, but it seems some related updates are coming soon.
  • I'm a student and payed plans are out of my reach, but no big problem with free tier.
  • I'd welcome some of the advanced features in the freelancer plan. Otherwise, not much to complain about.
