Solid Cloud-based monitoring with some Help and Support kinks.
I run 10 VPS servers and 7 websites around the world. While many other cloud monitoring solutions exist, CloudStats was easy to setup and provides the monitoring options I need in order to keep everything running smoothly.
PROSCloudStats monitors are very easy to setup The dashboard is clean Intergration with Slack Affordable
CONSThere is no Favicon for the dashboard, minor but annoying. Despite being on a Free plan, an invoice was generated my first month. Contacted Support regarding the invoice, no response. Lack of setting hints. Some settings aren't imediately clear but no on page explainastions are given.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the feedback. We have noted the points you have mentioned. The invoice was sent by mistake and there was no charge on your file. We will also make sure to provide better documentation on how to implement CloudStats and will add the favicon shortly.

Everything was fine until I wanted to extend my services to paid version
My overall experience is that it worked fine, but then I wanted to use more of their service, that is, use paid services. So I used their app to add credits and that's when problems started. PayPal took my money, but nothing showed in the panel. There was chat window on their site, so I decided to use it. I wrote, got the message that they're responding in few minutes. I waited, after an hour of waiting (with seeing that agent is there) I followed on my issue. Man (who in the end showed to be [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) told me he's checking the issue. After over 12 hours of waiting for "checking the issue" I replied again, as a follow up. Guy got very offended, told me to stop spamming (yeah, sure following up on an issue with my money was spamming), he refunded the money and removed my account effectively cutting me off from all the data.
PROSIt is kind of useful, for basics works, shows basic outages etc
CONSPlenty of stuff doesn't work, or crashes. Alert once came and I had hard time clearing it. Payment doesn't work.

Server Resource monitoring done well
First of all, it's SaaS. Just easily install an agent on your server and you're on the go. No local server software, no worries about updates of all the libs here and packages there. I really love this. Next it seems to be very featured packed. I just need some basic resource monitoring for 2 of our servers, but if needed URL monitoring or uptime monitoring is set up from the same account as easy as that. Services are paid per hour.
CONSI can't set up SMS alerts, but that's for now, using the demo version of it.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review, Erwin. We will take note about SMS alerts!

Best Budget Solution For server Monitoring
I'm a blogger who is running multiple websites. For hosting these sites I prefer VPS running Linux instances. I run multiple servers to balance the load. At times there will be a spike in traffic resulting in downtime of sites. Most of the time I don't receive any alerts and I was searching for a solution that sends alerts by monitoring the server resources and I came across Cloudstats. This is a nice tool and it helped me to manage all my servers at one place and totally satisfied with its features. Wishing to try the premium features as I scale my sites.
PROSSimple and Clutter-free Monitoring solution. Ideal Solution for Bloggers who run Linux servers on VPS Supports major cloud hosting providers like Digital Ocean and G Cloud. Easy to use with a rich interface that displays various metrics. Alerts feature is very useful
CONSA bit difficult to set up for users who are noobs. Might consume some of your resources(bandwidth and CPU) as it actively sends requests for providing analytics.

Thank you for your review! It is much appreciated!

CloudStats is Just What I was Looking For
As a DevOps, I was looking for services that BOTH monitored servers from the resource perspective (disk space, network, CPU % etc) AND had the ability to monitor things like site speed / outages, online time, etc. On TOP of that, you ALSO have SSL monitoring, which is AMAZING! I have yet to find a service which has this in addition to the others. I was previously using KeyChest for this service alone!
PROSEasy to install, and has SLACK INTEGRATION that is super simple to set up.
CONSNothing so far--I like everything I've seen

Easiest way to monitor server essentials
I've been testing a lot of methods to monitor servers and with CloudStats I found that it best fits my needs.
PROSThe fact that CloudStats could be used for free is what made me decide to see what it can/can't do. When I learned how easy it was to setup I was sold.
CONSSo far I haven't found anything that I didn't like about this software. Although I can imagine that some might say that the web dashboard feels a bit dull. I agree with that partially because who needs a super flashy UI anywas? I believe that it's simplicity is actually one of it's strong suits.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your informative review. We will take note about the Dashboard and will look at ways to improve the UI.

PROSbefore the cloudstats, it was a pain to monitor my servers. After the cloudstats, i found out that monitoring servers can be extremely fun
CONSproper documentation is needed, it was easy to use. But some functions are still not clear to me

Thank you for your kind review, Ember. We will take a note on documentation and will try to improve it.

One of the best software for monitoring
Very easy to install, one command and you're done. Easy to monitor all resources and get analytics. You can even monitor URLs and see the uptime/downtime or average response. The dashboard is very clear and offers an overview where you can see what's happening on all your servers in real-time. There is a dashboard for each server where you can get even more information like processes by CPU/memory usage or top CPU/memory consuming processes. It is possible to configure Custom Alerts and send notifications to the entire team or specific person.
CONSIt doesn't provide a lot of integrations, only Slack and Skype, but it's enough for my needs.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review, we will look into adding more integrations into our software!

Top Server Monitoring
Monitoring network traffic and Disk Space is super easy. Same goes for the CPU and Memory. Setting up alerting/notifications seems to be there, but it would have been nice to direct them through mobile with a native app.
PROSHow simple it is to install the application on my remote servers and connect to it. Literally on Linux just paste the command given. Press Enter. Wait 1 minute. Installation is done.
CONSNo Mobile app seems to be available on iOS or Android.
Reason for choosing CloudStats
Recommended by my Manager.

Awesome Monitoring Tool!
The tool itself looks awesome, everything so far I have tested is an actual product really allows you to monitor easily your server on your way. There is no need to be on PC to monitor your servers. If there were at least a specific number of alerts or default alerts active like high CPU usage above 70% would have been better
PROSEasy of use and user-friendly platform, real-time as much as possible.
CONSFree version doesn't have alerts, I think would have make this software an amazing tool for free users to have like one two alerts by default created for high CPU usage 70% and network usage if X Mbit is being utilized constantly for the past 1 hour.
Reasons for switching to CloudStats
I have used before different tools for monitoring, they were either not user-friendly or using too much of resources from the server to take necessary data to the monitoring tool.

Fast and accurate
We had connectivity problems for DNS resolution, we could not find the solution until we used CLOUDSTATS, the bandwidth consumption reports were execive, CPANEL could not determine them, but CLOUDSTATS gave us full reports of the connection interfaces. It was simple since we do not need to recognize the problems using the terminal of our server, but directly from the CLOUDSTATS panel with a single glance.
PROSThe graphical interface quickly shows the status of services, just one glance to know what happens.
CONSDo not offer a widget so you can place it on your web page and show the status of the server.

Great reliable service that really does beat the big alternatives!
I have been a customer for a while and every time I look to see if there is anything better I and up back with CloudStats again, that is a real testament to this company.
