### Great monitoring tool

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Richard F.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Great tool written by a well-respected software house. I have over 100 websites monitored on it and it works well.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Replaces several services with one integrated offering. Really good for PHP based frameworks like Laravel and CraftCMS but can work with anything. Love the regular Lighthouse reports to monitor ,movements in front-end performance over time.

#### Cons

I've had some weird false positives but to be honest it happens with all monitoring applications. It's also a little pricey but you get what you pay for :)

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

false positives caused me lots of issues

### Perfect for 90% of monitoring needs

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Harrison B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Generally excellent. Well-made, highly reliable and well-priced for the feature set it comes with. It's easy for my team to get going with as well as it's nicely designed and they've gone with a small, curated set of features (rather than chucking everything in).

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

So many monitoring systems are either massive overkill and overkill, or half-baked and insufficient. OhDear sits perfectly in the middle and is a well-designed, fantastic monitoring system that's perfect for a lot of sites and apps. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, and for my firm there's still a place for expensive tools such as Datadog, but for the majority of use-cases OhDear is about perfect.

#### Cons

Almost nothing, really. For large complex products we can't *only* use OhDear as we sometimes also need things like automated multi-step browser tests, but for 80% of what we do OhDear is excellent.

#### Reasons for choosing Oh Dear

We chose both. We use OhDear for a lot of our clients who don't need sophisticated, heavyweight services.

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

OhDear is simply better. The pricing is more sensible, especially since Pingdom's acquisition by Solarwinds, and the features and design is far better.

- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2024

We needed to put a reliable monitoring on all our services and this is exactly what we had.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Really easy to set up and many monitoring features that cover everything we need.

### Very good Online app, thank you!

- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years

Very good Online app for me and my customers.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The clean UI, the Statistics and the Status Pages are great for me.

#### Cons

I am using the Email and Pushover to receaving notifications and the Pushover app sometimes not working or lagging to send me the notifications. Perhaps if you create an official app of the Oh Dear, it works better than Pushover app.

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

Because Pingdom It's too expensive for me now.

### The ideal dev Swiss knife

- Overall rating: 5/5

- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Internet
- Company size: Self-Employed
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Use it daily, directly from the dashboard and via notifications, for all my projects - and it's been 5 years

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

It's the ideal dev Swiss knife: uptime, performance, certificate health, DNS, broken links, mixed content, and more in one place. Slack notifications out-of-the box are really great. Significant updates are

#### Cons

Not a big fan of the UI when I started using it in 2019... but the whole dashboard has been revamped since so really, it's perfect.

#### Reasons for choosing Oh Dear

Documentation makes the service seem overkill. Please note it is Better Stack concerned here (not available in list)

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

Number of functionalities, UI, accuracy of alerts

### Good & Stable

- Overall rating: 5/5

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: December 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Compared to other big service providers for uptime monitorings, oh dear is very good. There are no false positives and the service works as it should.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

- European service - Multiple monitoring services - Does the job very good and stable

#### Cons

- Pricing - Missing alert configurations - Contact possibilities / Support

#### Reasons for choosing Oh Dear

We are using multiple tools. Mostly we are using ohdear for a small amount of our pages due to the high pricing and the unreachable support.

### Does what we need with minimal fuss

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Adam M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Internet
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

We switched from another provider because it became overly complicated to use and wasn't performing as we wanted. Plus costs were increasing that we couldn't justify. Oh Dear was refreshing because it just does what we want/need without unnecessary bloat. So often platforms constantly add features and functionality causing unwanted distractions as a customer. Oh Dear does the things we want whilst remaining simple to use and using up minimal time. We run a couple of accounts for multiple projects and have no reason to look elsewhere.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

A nicely designed product that does what we want it to do without any unnecessary fuss.

#### Cons

Nothing negative to report at this time.

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

Ease of use as Pingdom was too complicated for our needs.

### Robust Website Monitoring Tool

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Austin S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I've used several website monitoring tools over the years, and OhDear is by far the easiest and most robust. We use OhDear to monitor our client sites, broken links, DNS, SSL certs, lighthouse speeds, and more. Their API is just as powerful.

#### Cons

I have no dislikes. The only thing that I would like to see is the ability to monitor script tags in source code. For example, if a Google Analytics tag goes missing.

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

Ease of use and a robust suite of monitoring tools besides uptime monitoring. Their API is developer-friendly and powerful.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

I love the many different checks available, it was ahead of the game when it launched and keeps improving. I also like grouping my sites, and the many notifications and their in-depth customisability

#### Cons

It only seems to check the homepage of the site. It would be great to be able to check multiple pages without using up more of the site limit, for up time of crucial pages

#### Reasons for switching to Oh Dear

Pingdom didn’t offer as many features as OhDear
