A super powerful and yet friendly monitor for websites and servers and more!

Managing client websites involves a lot of tasks, but aside from working with the site itself we must also sleep well.If a site goes down or there are issues, we don't want to have a call from the angry client, but be pro-active, and this is where Monspark comes handy.I had a few downtimes due to the server infrastructure, and was immediately informed by Monspark, so i was able to detect the issue and raise a ticket, speeding up the fix and downtime.Another experience was related to my old hosting company, where i kept a significant amount of sites.I realized that some of them had a constant and frequent downtime of 1-3 hours per day, during night time most of the times.The 99% uptime advertised by the company quickly became about 70% uptime after i could spot this with Monspark, but in the past i never noticed such issue.It's basically our watchdog.

PROS

The ease of use for monitoring apps is very important, even with some free options i think having Monspark gives really more than this.We can monitor for SEO changes, cookies, sitemap, tech stack change and moreThese features are super and having more website to manage can easily help to break even the cost. In my opinion the Growth plan with 50 sites is amazing for agencies, it means it will cost about 12$/year per site which is incredibleDeploying a monitor takes a few minutes and we can immediately benefit from the insights it provides in a clean dashboard.I love the app!

CONS

Nothing really, sometimes the support is a bit slow to answer but i had no issue with the app itself and i consider myself super happy

User friendly monitoring with many options and an easy to use interface

Monspark has taken the worry out of website downtime and provided a wonderful solution that alerts me at the first sign of any trouble. It truly is an exceptional monitoring solution with a sleek, contemporary design and top-notch support. A wonderful service!

PROS

Monspark has made it easy to be alerted immediately when there are any issues found with downtime concerning my current hosting provider. I deal with people who use my site to book appointments, so any downtime at all can have a detrimental impact on my business and income. Monspark makes it possible for me to limit any downtime to the least amount possible. It is a breeze to configure the monitors and offers an extensive range of monitoring options, from uptime to text and image surveillance, right down to domain expiry and WHOIS checks. The support is also fast and friendly - truly a top-notch service!

CONS

There really are no cons to the service as I can currently see. The robust monitoring features and ease of use make it an ideal solution for anyone looking for a service like this.

Reasons for switching to MonSpark

Just a preference when it came to the user interface. I found Monspark's layout to be much more to my liking.

Powerful platform with room for growth

MonSpark has helped fill a gap that other platforms couldn’t allowing us to grow our services for clients.

PROS

Great set of features and configuration that allow us to cater for our infrastructure monitoring needs.

CONS

There are more false positives that we would like. Manually creating each monitor takes time and could be improved by having a template that could be used.

Reason for choosing MonSpark

The investment required compared to the gains due to features was far more favourable with MonSpark.

Reasons for switching to MonSpark

Out of all I tried this one is a keeper!

I use it to mainly monitor my own and my clients' websites' uptime. Also, use it for some deals online to watch pricing changes. Easy to use, easy to set up.

PROS

Great monitoring tool with a simple modern interface. Easy to set up. Has many different monitors from Uptime to text, image monitoring to domain expirations. Really good friendly and quick support!

CONS

Dod't really have any Cons. Works as expected,

Most comprehensive website monitoring with dashboard

PROS

It is more than just normal website monitoring. It's divided into 4 major section:A) Availability - Main website monitoring service to check website status (when up or down for how long), server ping time, etc.B) Security - Domain expiration notice, whois monitor, IP Blacklist, etcC) SEO - Lighthouse audits with options such location settings (including Asia Pacific), emulation device (desktop, iphone, etc)D) Website Integrity - Screenshot monitor, source code monitor, cookie monitorYes. That's the 4 main categories and it has much more monitoring services. And the best part is all is presented nicely in a dashboard.

CONS

Perhaps too many options? And each monitor is a cost. Best if can bundle some for lower price.

A flexible system of alters, including website downtime monitoring

Initially I was interested in this software for monitoring changes in Government sites that offers contracts, so not to miss deadlines for presenting documents. Right now, I use it a lot to improve the performance (detecting downtimes) and security of my sites (not having to remember when a domain or and SSL expires).

PROS

It is a set and forget system that not only alerts you when the site is down, and when up again, but also informs of the evolution of the response time. Allowing to choose the best hosting. But also has features that alerts of thing such as "domain's who is monitor", "SSL expiration", "domain expiration", Lighthouse Audits to helps you monitor your page quality and detect potential problems, etc. There fore it works also as a security suite, in addition to down time measurement. I also like that it is very generous in terms of the quantity of monitors that can be created.

CONS

Being my fault, in some of the monitors I do not understand all the possibilities. It would be good to have more guidance. The good point is that it has a feature when you enter an URL and MonSpark creates automatically 19 different monitors for that URL.

Un outils simple mais extrêmement efficace

En seulement une heure, nous avons pris en main MonSpark et configuré nos trois sites et services différents. Depuis lors, nous n'avons jamais eu besoin de revoir la configuration qui fonctionne depuis plus d'un an maintenant. Cet outil de surveillance nous a déjà sauvés plusieurs fois en détectant des pannes survenues le week-end, ce qui nous a permis de les rectifier avant le retour des employés à l'entreprise le lendemain.

PROS

MonSpark est une solution simple à utiliser, gratuite en fonction de votre utilisation et relativement fiable dans la durée.

CONS

Au début de sa version bêta, nous avons rencontré quelques problèmes de fonctionnement, mais le support a rapidement répondu aux dysfonctionnements.

Precise, Functional, Perfect. Monspark saved the day.

We have been using MonSpark for about 9 months (nov-aug), and had been looking for a replacement for our current tools, which amounted to four different solutions. MonSpark has replaced these four monitoring solutions, and also provided things we didn't know we needed at the time. For a time saving all in one solution you cannot go wrong.

PROS

The best part about MonSpark is the support and open communications. IF we run into an issue or have a detailed question and we get quick answers that work.

CONS

That it didn't come out sooner, I could have saved a few hairs from turning grey.

Reason for choosing MonSpark

AppSumo deal to good to pass up, and after reading the follow ups to questions and joining the discord to see how involved they were there was no question

Amazing and complete monitoring solution

I have tons of websites and linux servers to watch. I can fine tune everything I need.And support is amazing!

PROS

MonSpark offer passive scans for a huge number of information, from the usual ping, to IP blacklists, WHOIS databases, technologies used by websites, screenshots... but also active reporting with an agent... and reports to various destinations, with history, all this with a consistent interface. And several types of reports, from PDF to analysis of attack surface

CONS

The only thing you need to know: a "monitor" is not a website. For a single site, you will need several monitors, depending on what you actually want to monitor. Once you understand that, you'll really enjoy the product.

Reliable Uptime Monitoring with MonSpark

MonSpark has proven to be an invaluable tool for our operations. The status pages are incredibly convenient for our users, providing them with real-time updates. What initially drew us to MonSpark was its competitive pricing, but we were pleasantly surprised to discover that it offers far more features than other providers we've looked into. Throughout our usage, it has performed flawlessly, exceeding our expectations in every regard.

PROS

- Intuitive user interface that made setup a breeze.- Accurate and timely notifications, ensuring I'm always in the loop.- Comprehensive reporting tools that provide valuable insights into my website's performance.- Convenient status pages that you can adjust to your needs and design.

CONS

- Initial onboarding could use a bit more guidance for absolute beginners, as there are plenty of monitoring options to choose from.- The web UI isn't the most intuitive sometimes.

Reasons for switching to MonSpark

Better pricing while having way more features.

Great site monitoring solution with some really great added features

Overall I've been very pleased with MonSpark, for the cost it provides great features and an ever expanding set of location and tools (the source code checker is a great addition).

PROS

The visual site comparison is fantastic, lets me know when a site has changed. I use this to monitor my sites to be sure assets are loading, check competitor sites for changes and even on products I want to buy to see when there is a price change.

CONS

New regions and features are coming along all the time with MonSpark. This is great but does mean that some things are still beta (as an example, when I first signed up, they servers were ony in the EU so screenshots and uptime was all measured from the EU). They have added US servers now but if you are running worldwide operations, there are still regions that they are adding and aren't there yet.

Reason for choosing MonSpark

More features, and more options on the roadmap leading to better overall value.

The only issue that I have had with MonSpark has been my hosting environment blocking it from performing scans. However, fixing this was as simple as whitelisting the IP addresses for the MonSpark service and the help documentation on MonSpark's website pointed me in the right direction.
