Uptime.com

Works great!

Commenti: Great experience. Wonderful service, powerful tool, good people.

Aspetti positivi:

Lots of configurable controls. Simple to use interface that's both attractive and functional. Gets the job done right.

Aspetti negativi:

It'd be nice to be able to more easily see which specific server a down report comes from. Sometimes there's just general internet network issues and I don't care if some server in Peru can't ping the site.

High quality but more expensive

Aspetti positivi:

Real-time monitoring has been quite accurate. We have compared the tool with other real-time monitoring providers, but uptime has higher performance. Performance metrics and routing help us detect anomalies in the communication between our clients' servers and ours. This is interesting, mainly, because we can know through ping if a server is suffering from a DDoS attack, which has become very common. A very interesting feature, which we have not seen in other providers of this service, is monitoring from a different location. We liked this a lot, because we can choose the best place to hire a service.

Aspetti negativi:

It is more expensive than other providers. I understand that they have tools that other providers do not have (at least in the published service offer). However, this can be obtained in most cases by contacting the provider and requesting the approximate location where you want the monitoring to take place.

Uptime Monitoring Service

Commenti: Uptime.com is an excellent service with an easy-to-use platform and allows you to monitor everything that is needed for your website availability.

Aspetti positivi:

Clear concise dashboard that allows you to see everything related to your website and allows you take action prior to any outages.

Aspetti negativi:

UI could be organized a bit better and allow for a bit more customization.

Zero African Footprint

Commenti: Loved the product. Just wish it offered a full global presence. I can recommend it if your service is not hosted on the African continent but if you not, find something else.

Aspetti positivi:

I love all of it and this product would stay my first choice if it had a footprint in Africa.

Aspetti negativi:

We get false downtime notifications whenever there are issues with the undersea cables linking Africa to the rest of the world. This complicates monitoring SaaS and leaves the product useless for SLA and OLA calculations.

Uptime monitoring with performance metrics that more people should know about

Commenti: Uptime monitoring is simple by nature which could lead a lot of individuals to think the choice doesn't really matter. Uptime maintains the simplicity you would expect (even in its branding) but allows a lot of complex problem-solving under the hood. This balance of easy-of-use and powerful extensibility is exactly what my team was looking for. I'm glad we stumbled across this product.

Aspetti positivi:

A myriad of available notification options. This helps ensure that alerts are seen right away. We push alerts to user's phones, through our internal messaging software, and to kiosk monitors in the offices. Threat detection was an unexpected plus as well. Alerts can come from multiple locations around the globe so it can help discover regionally isolated incidents as well.

Aspetti negativi:

The concept of team management and user permission management is still evolving and not quite as robust as I would prefer.

Uptime.com provides quality external monitoring

Commenti: We predominantly use Uptime to monitor the WAN uptime and latency of edge devices we manage. Uptime.com works perfectly well for this purpose and has a robust API that allowed us to easily migrate from a prior platform. We are also able to pull various reports in different formats to provide to clients when needed. The biggest downfall is that we aren't able to provide a client with access to just their own sites so they can live monitor their connections as well.

Aspetti positivi:

-Robust API -Multiple monitoring locations -Easy configuration -Useful data

Aspetti negativi:

-Instead of a ping monitor showing "down" it shows as "1200ms" -No multi-tenant support

Reliable monitoring system, very flexible.

Commenti: I'm a solo developer/admin for an internet-based company, and so it's crucial that we are immediately aware of any outages or problems with our sites. We've been using Uptime for roughly 18 months, and it has proven to be extremely reliable in detecting any outages. Additionally, the advanced monitoring checks that are available are impressive - it can submit data to forms, observe real user sessions, verify that SSL certificates are valid, and more. I strongly recommend Uptime to anyone who relies on a steady internet presence for their business. Tremendous value for our company, and great peace of mind for myself especially, as the overseer of our operations.

Aspetti positivi:

- Easy to use, very clean design - Notifies quickly of any detected outages - Reliably detects even small/brief outages - The wide variety of things that can be monitored, including APIs & multi-step pathways - Very quick to navigate through the various console pages - API access to the reports that can be integrated into internal applications - Documentation is very thorough - Monitoring checks are executed from several points around the world

Aspetti negativi:

There are no cons, in my opinion. It does exactly what's advertised - and more.

Excellent and simple software

Commenti: Really great tool on the whole, all websites should use a tool to monitor the uptime and Uptime does the job perfectly!

Aspetti positivi:

Very easy setup. Notifications by SMS + email: perfect.

Aspetti negativi:

Default SMS notifications could be more optimized: you get an SMS for each monitored page that is down. It's possible however to fine tune this, but I haven't taken time to do it, set up could be a bit more guided to do it more easily (but honestly I haven't tried so hard since it's not so much a big deal).

Easy to setup, one of the most valuable tools for our businesses

Commenti: Quickly go back on your toes, and don't expect your users to contact you when your service goes dark!

Aspetti positivi:

It's really easy to setup: in a blink, you can ensure that all your services are up and running - and if not, you'll be able to react in a second and fix things. It became one of the most valuable tools for our services.

Aspetti negativi:

At first, I was a tiny bit reluctant about the pricing. Think twice. Does peace of mine really have a price?

Uptime helps us Keeping the News Flowing

Aspetti positivi:

The simplicity of the set up and reliable coverage for our websites. If we hit a snag we are alerted immediately so we can keep our clients information moving to their audience.

Aspetti negativi:

No issues to date with the software of support for any questions we may have about our network.

Great simple status page for SaaS

Aspetti positivi:

You can build a status page for a SaaS in minutes and inform about outage s

Aspetti negativi:

To configure a status page you have first to set up checks and alerts that can be a little bit confusing.

Keep it UP! Informs within minutes if there is an error

Commenti: Love it, it monitors really great, the emails send never end up in my spambox and the sms service is reasonable quick, nice for monitoring during the night, just a quick sms on your smartwatch :-)

Aspetti positivi:

This service is amazing, you can define keywords on the monitoring to actually see if your website is up and is showing the proper content instead of an error, also I like the SSL check, it warns you when you are about to renew, superb!

Aspetti negativi:

Sorry, nothing to complain, you need to pay for shorter checks, in case you would like to check every minute, instead of 5 minutes, but its cheap, sorry, its not a con...

Most complete website monitoring solution

Commenti: We use Uptime to provide real-time monitoring information to our users. We're able to quickly identify and address issues on our platform, leading to increased customer satisfaction.

Aspetti positivi:

Email and SMS alerts in order to be notified as soon as one of our web services goes down. This is very useful for us as we're able to identify and resolve issues very quickly. Being able to personalize the look and feel of our website monitoring system is also very important for us.

Aspetti negativi:

Quite expensive pricing and lack of dedicated plan for early-stage startups. Also the documentation for the REST API could be improved, with exemples over what's possible with Uptime.

SMS Credit notifications

Commenti: Your technical support is doing a good job, listening to our issue and finding a solution for us.

Aspetti positivi:

Sending SMS messages and alerting us if any of our services are down.

Aspetti negativi:

On your subscription plans, it's a big difference (big jump) base on price from Business $64/mo to Enterprise $240/mo.

Great value for money

Commenti: I'm happy and looking forward to hearing the release of new features :D

Aspetti positivi:

As we are a small business we need just a basic monitor and Uptime gives us a flexible plan that adjusts to our needs. :D

Aspetti negativi:

I would like to use some more flexible javascript in some of my checkers

Uptime, everytime

Commenti: It fills the brief and is very straight forward to us.

Aspetti positivi:

The software is easy to use and the multi-region monitoring servers is ideal for monitoring our SaaS platform.

Aspetti negativi:

Nothing to dislike about the software. It does the job well.

Fast way to get an external watch on our system.

Aspetti positivi:

It was simple to setup. They have all the documentation need to open up just what you need to access your system to monitor. It a great that it is free to start with so you can see if it will work for your company.

Aspetti negativi:

It only keeps 30 days record of that your system has done. Until you buy the pay version it only checks every 5 minutes. Other than that I love the product.

More or Less

Aspetti positivi:

Good GUI and API allows for custom alerting. Maintenance mode is very functional and helps vs other services that only have suspend functionality.

Aspetti negativi:

When looking al all ping check down checks show as red but the line graph graphic is in the middle vs at the bottom for indicating no communication or dead ping

Server issues - find out when!

Commenti: It's helped us track exactly when regular downtimes were occurring, and allowed the IS team to trace the issue with a lot more accuracy to target what was occurring during those times - making the process of finding a solution a lot quicker

Aspetti positivi:

We encountered significant server issues with our websites, and unfortunately our admins are based overseas, so the issues happened when they were asleep. We were able to generate reports for them to show the times that issues would continue to occur

Aspetti negativi:

For the lowest pricing level, it doesn't seem to offer much more than other free tools online will offer

Uptime is a simple to implement and thorough from a reporting standpoint.

Aspetti positivi:

Loved how easy it was to get started. Took me about 60sec to pop my URL's in there and I was up and running.

Aspetti negativi:

There's not much to dislike - it's all very straight forward.

Uptime is great

Commenti: excellent, stream-lined

Aspetti positivi:

It has really saved me when my app melted down. I knew right away thanks to the text messages I got.

Aspetti negativi:

I have not found any downsides with using this software. Works as intended.

It does what it needs to do, and priced fairly

Aspetti positivi:

Instant text notifications can't be beaten. Before you start getting the flurry of emails, you know.

Aspetti negativi:

Can't say there's anything the bothers me.

Uptime Monitoring Review

Commenti: gave us great insight into a problem we were having with web servers going up and down

Aspetti positivi:

Simple to implement, easy to use to monitor our 80 web servers

Aspetti negativi:

I can't think of any cons to the software

Really good product

Commenti: I’ve had no issues with the company

Aspetti positivi:

This software has really helped with peace of mind that things will work in the background and will be informed if they’re not.

Aspetti negativi:

I would like it to be a bit more granular with particular parts of a page instead of the whole page.

Feature rich uptime and RUM

Commenti: Uptime has a great uptime checking service along with the less common realtime user monitoring (RUM) service. The service could definitely use some polishing, but for the cost, it's really fantastic. There was a problem I ran into where reports couldn't be exported to CSV if you defined a date range. Initially support was great, until they stopped responding. It took months for the issue to be addressed. At one point I left a review on their Facebook page because they had become completely unresponsive. They immediately replied and I was back in touch with support... until they stopped replying again. But in the end it got fixed, and there's nothing else I've had to contact support for!

Aspetti positivi:

- Uptime checking with a decently fast interval between checks. - Simple RUM reporting!

Aspetti negativi:

- Doesn't seem that RUM is being improved or developed in anyway. - Support can take a while to resolve a bug.
