A good monitoring platform
Easy to set up. Good notification frequency. Good range of monitoring
CONSPersonally I don't like the name. It sounds like it just monitors web -- it actually does a lot more.

Price vs Features
The software does what it needs to do very well. The variable types of checks from numerous locations is very beneficial.
CONSThe price of the service has gotten disproportionate to its value. As such I was forced to another tool that might not be as feature packed but gets the job done at a price I can afford.
Reason for choosing Dotcom-Monitor
At the time it was a great value for the service. Since that time I have stopped using the service because what Dotcom-Monitor charges for 1 domain, I can do 50 domains with uptime robot.

i used the trial and my experience was good, i was able to see value and get use, but that could not be translated to the management due to fact that it wasnt simple to read or understand to them.
PROSI enjoyed the fact that i was able to pin point my delays with my web applications, and thus improve the quality of the server
CONSthe lack of simplicity, at times when this needs to be explained to management, its a lil difficult to make them see what you talking about when looking the reports, and when engaging with DEV, if its able to pick up anomolies that would be great
Reason for choosing Dotcom-Monitor
I have looked at other products, and dot.com met my requirements at the time, its been some time so i cant remember the specifics

Great service for multiple reasons
Great! I use it daily to make sure everything is running good
PROSThe amount of servers that test my sites is awesome. Also that they give me an image of the landing page is great.
CONSSome inconsistency in server response time readings. And you must refresh the page to test another site because otherwise it freaks out and gives you results from the last site you've tested
Reasons for switching to Dotcom-Monitor
Pingdom only lets you test from one location at a time

dotcom-monitor has grown and evolved since the last time I used it to include some cool features
Initially, I used this product solely for uptime monitoring but it now offers so much more!
CONSFor now my only blocker is price, and this is only because I only use a small subset of their tools (uptime monitoring)
Reason for choosing Dotcom-Monitor
I can't justify paying for this service as I currently don't have enough client websites which would benefit from the additional tools, and uptime monitoring is pretty much the only function I use from this software. However, if I ever needed to schedule tests for specific website functions like forms or maybe more complex features, their new tools seem to have been created just for this. I would love to trial this software again when my need requires it.

once you learn - you can master it
once you learn the abilities and capabilities- your life with your site will be much easier
PROSonce you learn the capabilities and how to use them, life can be much easier the ability to monitor server and pages from around the world in an automatic process worth a lot
CONSthe learning process on the product is a little bit harder then “plug & play” so need to dive deep into it

overall gives the best results based on price plan

Good, but missing 1 important option
Mostly positive experiences, just need to eliminate false positives.
PROSEase to get up an running, was up less than an hour
CONSWould like to see an option to allow me to select which source servers are monitoring my servers. Any server outside of the U.S.A will create false positives due to my GeoFilter rules applied. This cause my uptime status to be misleading.
Reasons for switching to Dotcom-Monitor
Switched when they changed the base package to force me into a min number of items to monitor and my monthly bill was going to go up 10 fold. There were very unapologetic about the increase.

Easy setup, great features
Satisfied.
PROSThe software is easy to setup and helps me track availability of my own app as well as third party apps that are embedded in our product. The configuration setting allow user to control minutest details such as frequency of checks.
CONSSetting up complex user workflows for SaaS apps and recording performance is slightly difficult and perhaps there are other alternatives that do better.

Review for dotcom-monitor
Recently, upon joining the company, I initiated the use of Dotcom-Monitor for load testing our web-based software. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of detail and comprehensiveness of the reports generated by the software. Moreover, the support team at Dotcom-Monitor has exceeded my expectations, particularly an engineer named Egor, who has been an incredible help to me. On almost a daily basis, I reach out to him with various questions and he has consistently demonstrated unwavering patience in addressing all of my inquiries, providing detailed and insightful answers. His level of expertise and professionalism has been invaluable in ensuring that our load testing process runs smoothly and effectively.
CONSI think, there is less information about some part specially errors that in my idea can be better.

The top solution for monitoring
It's our one-stop shop for all our monitoring needs.
PROSDotcom-Monitor is a very feature rich solution with a lot to offer. I predominantly use the BrowserView to manage an maintain the performance of our web properties and ServerView to monitor uptime and be notified of outages.
CONSThere’s no doubt that Dotcom Monitor has a lot of layers to offer, which can make it seem a little complex at first. However it is easy to get started.

No doubt that Dotcom-Monitor is the more feature rich solution

Best API Monitoring
By implementing Dotcom-Monitor, I can sleep peacefully without worrying about our service's uptime.
PROSI like API monitoring features that monitor APi by sending the test file. It is actually very accurate.
CONSThere is nothing that I like least about Dotcom-Monitor. It's all services are best.
Reasons for switching to Dotcom-Monitor
It doesn't have active API monitoring.

Ok but could be better
Recording the script could've been a good feature
CONSCouldn't measure a session after authentication. The UI was confusing and hard to set up. But the biggest deal breaker for us was that we couldn't start measuring a page after the authentication flow. It would be great if there was a way to create a script to create a new browser session (including auth token) and then reuse this session for other separate tests.
Reason for choosing Dotcom-Monitor
The service appeared to have all features we needed

Our teams rely on good observability and monitoring tools to maintain a proactive approach on quality and this platform certainly provided that, with limited training needed for the users.

Dotcom-Monitor a really good software for ISPs
I'm a network analyst and use Dotcom tools inside the ISP I work, it's a really good and reliable tool for monitoring things along the network, and testing network components, I usually use it to make diagnostics of servers latency, and dns resolve time.
CONSFor me, in my personal case, I don't need anything more in Dotcom tools, they have everything I need for monitoring my services, and server, and it works very well.

Experience from a ServiceNow Perspective
Checks the Uptime of a website every 5 mins from different server locations
CONSShould provide a live update instead of every 5 mins as this makes a big difference in terms of customer experience. Also, I don't prefer the REST API call to be made from ServiceNow, would prefer a direct integration instead for a quicker configuration, if additional websites need to be tracked using the same tool.

Good. Lots of data, more than I could access elsewhere.

PROSAll of the different reports I can pull using different sets of data. Other programs didn't offer everything I needed.
CONSPay as you go is nice to have, but i also miss just putting in a credit card and doing what I need to do and then looking at the bill at the end of the month.
