Trustworthy and reliable website monitoring...

Website availability is paramount to our SLA agreements. AlertBot summary reports have become our availability standard, accepted by clients and auditors.

PROS

We have been using AlertBot for many years (I dare to believe that we were some of the first users) and from that moment, it became our primary source of website availability reporting, with escalating notifications support and POST processing, it provides us a reliable way to stay on top of our servers online presence.

CONS

The software has evolved overtime to fill some of the gaps they had, from the strange billing interfaces to a streamlined integrated version; the only nice-to-have would be the ability to select the geographic location(s) to test from.

Reason for choosing AlertBot

We still use both, with AlertBot as the primary

Top in website monitoring

Great support, top product, reliable.

PROS

Using real browsers gets you the closest to the actual real user journey. No script needed in the source code! Various test browsers and locations to choose from. Good and detailed reporting.

CONS

The setup has to be done by AlertBot support. Also depending on your server configuration, the AlertBot settings may get even trickier! More expensive than similar products. I would welcome sending SMS (to the UK) or WhatsApp alerts, as part of the service.

Reason for choosing AlertBot

Real browser testing, cheaper than the previous provider. Good reviews.

Reasons for switching to AlertBot

They used to be called Site Confidence and then NCC Group bought them and they wanted to concentrate on big clients. So they increased their fees a few fold times!

Excellent service and value for your money

We generally know there is an issue before any 3rd party vendor long before the vendor reports an issue now. The best part is we get a heads up before a customer calls.

PROS

The team's willingness to work with our MFA requirements and find a customer solution to make the monitor work.

CONS

Sometimes making small changes (e.g., updating a password in a log in flow) is not as obvious as you would hope but in any situation to date I have found the support quick and ready to assist me.

Reason for choosing AlertBot

Of all the vendors reviewed they were the ONLY vendor wiling to try and code to get around the log in requiring and MFA code being sent. They also have been incredibly helpful when there are issues. The pricing is also very reasonable.

Prosite Review

I've been using them for years to monitor several of our website, going from basic monitoring to some vary advanced tools over the years. They've been responsive to our needs and quick to help any time I've needed it. I use several software products to monitor what I have going on, but AlertBot is easy one to use.

PROS

It is easy to set up the monitors which has you monitoring your website for outages in no time.

CONS

I really don't have anything I don't like about it.

Reason for choosing AlertBot

At the time that I started using AlertBot there wasn't a lot of choice out there. My company uses remote servers to offer up our service management software and most of the choices I had at the time were software based running from our office and I needed something to use remotely to multiple locations from multiple locations. We've always been happy with AlertBot and never saw a reason to switch to another company.

We sleep better at night knowing we are using Alertbot

We not only need to know when our site is down, but we also need to know if we have introduced errors into other processes like our checkout, signing in, checking our customer portal etc.

PROS

Alertbot is in a class by itself when you consider the transactional monitoring capabilities. We also use a few other cloud monitoring sites but none afford us the flexibility in scripting multi-step transactions that Alertbot does. The other thing that sets Alertbot apart is true world class support. In my role, my team has to work with many other technical support teams and I can tell you that the team we work with at Alertbot is not only very knowledgeable, but are also very easy to work with and are super fast to respond to our needs.

CONS

We do wish that the browser support was more up to date.

Easy to use and very effective

I was able to set this up very quickly for basic monitoring of the our sites and 3 out of four scripts were eaily created and ran fine. The fourth required tech support intervention but the script was modified by them and working within a couple of hours. AlertBot can be easily used for simple monitoring and with some effort, is very effective in troubleshooting performance problems.

PROS

This product was very easy to setup and use. Tech support has been very responsive and knowledgeable, which is very important to me.

CONS

The ability to troubleshoot a problem was a bit difficult to do but that may have just been my lack of knowledge of the product.

Reason for choosing AlertBot

I was able to create most of my own test scripts quickly and easily. The process was straight forward and the data produced is very detailed and effective in monitoring the day-to-day performance of our sites across the nation.

Alertbot allows us to address issues before our customers are impacted

PROS

We've been using Alertbot for over eight years now. We were sick of finding out about problems with our website from end users first. While there are varying levels of complexity to AlertBot monitors, even the simple alerts let us know almost instantly when we have an issue. The prioritization of alerting groups and timing allow us to automatically escalate the notifications if someone is not immediately able to respond.

CONS

Sometimes we have an issue with logging in and the way credentials are managed, but I'm guessing this is out of an abundance of security. It has been a while since we've had that issue.

Super easy way to make sure my website is running and fast

I know right away if my website is ever down. This used to be a huge issue for us. Now, I have the peace of mind that my website is up and running smoothly.

PROS

I like the quick notification emails to let me know if my website goes down. I also get a report of my site's speed which is great for detecting any issues.

CONS

None really. Does a great job. It does everything that I need it to.

Alertbot for early detection

Has saved my a$$ many times in early detection of problems.

PROS

Knowing that our publicly consumed services are online and available is super important to us. I prefer to be the first to know if the services are down, instead of waiting on customers or end users to be the ones to inform me.

CONS

I recall it being a bit tricky to do the action script, but customer support generally takes care of it for me.

AlertBot Review 2020

My experience has been great! Many of the alerts we have received have been critical to our business and ensuring we put forth the best sites out for our patients, doctors, employees, etc. Also, working with our Sales Rep, Adam, and the Help Desk rep, Ryan, has helped us gain a better understanding of the tool and have helped develop and customize it to our needs! Also, their response time is rapid, which is greatly appreciated!

PROS

The product is very easy to use , which made onboarding and teaching new users how to use the tool a rapid process. My favorite aspect is the weekly reports we get that break down how all of the monitors are performing. This is especially helpful to the site owners on my team when they go to review standards for how all of the sites are functioning and to see where there are opportunities to improve their sites.

CONS

My one suggestion is to develop a dashboard view that summarizes the performance of the monitors by monitor group by a monthly/yearly basis. The dashboard would be especially helpful for our team members to quickly check and see a visual of how their monitors are performing.

Does what it says it does, very well

Alertbot is primarily used to synthetically monitor our site and to validate our site is fully functional. This product has easily paid for itself numerous times.

PROS

Love the use of the waterfall reports that quickly shows where there are failures in the system. Also love the geolocation feature.

CONS

I honestly cannot think of anything that Alertbot does not do well.

PROS

Easy to setup. We have relied on this application for many years now. It gives us a heads-up on problems before they become impactful to our customers.

CONS

The 'from' on the text alerts are always from a different source which causes many different 'senders' in the text inbox. It would be nicer to have a common sender.

It's great and simple. Set it and forget it.

We are very happy, have been using it for years and never had a problem. They have static IPs in the case you need to setup an access list on your dmz. Set it and forget it. Weekly we also have emailed reports or the downtime of the week/months. We rely on it a lot too as our top tier support get directly paged by it. We cannot say anything bad about it. They respond quickly to support request and emails too. Highly recommend it.

PROS

The simplicity and the price. We are very happy with it and I don't think any manager will oppose to the purchase approval, it's so inexpensive.

CONS

I don't have issues with it. They even have a free tier for those who want to monitor a home server like a Plex server. What's not to like...

Reason for choosing AlertBot

It was too long ago, we chose AlertBot and we never looked back once.
