A good monitoring platform

Pros

Easy to set up. Good notification frequency. Good range of monitoring

Cons

Personally I don't like the name. It sounds like it just monitors web -- it actually does a lot more.

dotcom-monitor has grown and evolved since the last time I used it to include some cool features

Pros

Initially, I used this product solely for uptime monitoring but it now offers so much more!

Cons

For now my only blocker is price, and this is only because I only use a small subset of their tools (uptime monitoring)

Irshad -Chase

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.

Pros

I enjoyed the fact that i was able to pin point my delays with my web applications, and thus improve the quality of the server

Cons

the 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

Price vs Features

Pros

The software does what it needs to do very well. The variable types of checks from numerous locations is very beneficial.

Cons

The 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.

Great service for multiple reasons

Great! I use it daily to make sure everything is running good

Pros

The amount of servers that test my sites is awesome. Also that they give me an image of the landing page is great.

Cons

Some 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

DotCom Insights

We have had a great experience using Dotcom-Monitor, especially with our HLS steams.

Pros

I love the ease of usability and the insights it gives our team into our infrastrucutre on a daily basis.

Cons

There was some questions if we could use DotCom-monitor to monitor streaming video, but we quickly had the questions answered.

Easy setup, great features

Satisfied.

Pros

The 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.

Cons

Setting up complex user workflows for SaaS apps and recording performance is slightly difficult and perhaps there are other alternatives that do better.

Experience from a ServiceNow Perspective

Pros

Checks the Uptime of a website every 5 mins from different server locations

Cons

Should 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.

Best monitoring tool for us

This is a reliable tool which really helped us to monitor and make the necessary adjustments in order to get the best webpage speeds for our platform.

Pros

Easy to use and reflects the webpage speeds across the Globe pretty good. Really like that with one click you can test your webpage speeds on more than 20 servers at once.

Cons

For what we use this tool, there are no concerns.

love docom

good and brilliant, but the little of dolaars prevent me to get in and advertise my blogger. go ahead

Pros

can decrease the price to get and announce my bloggers and get more visitors

Cons

easy and get more views. it may be a pissing look but at all it si so good

The top solution for monitoring

It's our one-stop shop for all our monitoring needs.

Pros

Dotcom-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.

Cons

There’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.

A good tool, make my daily work easy

Pros

It’s easy to use, it’s fast and it helps since the first minute.

Cons

There is not a lot of options yet. Can improve the configurable options

Great product to monitor a website

I loved dotcom-monitor.

Pros

The reports are very detailed. Love the graphs and pie-charts.

Cons

Would love to see more EU and Asian countries/locations in the "Uptime by location" section.

Wasn't Quite What I Was Looking For

Pros

It was fairly easy to get setup in the platform. Less than 5 minutes from finding the site and I had a web services monitor up and running.

Cons

The Web Services monitoring sadly did not go as far as I had hoped it would. I didn't go in to that confidently because I hadn't seen a specific feature I was looking for mentioned on the site, but the detailed UI left me hoping for the possibility. The service is great for doing what I would sanity checks, but I had hoped for more in depth analysis of the assets being monitored to go beyond availability and veer into QC.

testing

Pros

works great for what we need. Lots of testing still going on for it

Cons

no problems in the testing so far, but we continue to eval

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

full performance overview of our online presence

Pros

All of the different reports I can pull using different sets of data. Other programs didn't offer everything I needed.

Cons

Pay 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.

Shadystuff Review

When we used it to troubleshoot why our website was given an error, we were totally blown away by the diagnosis by the software.

Pros

We used it to test one of our websites that was giving some sort of 503 error, and we were please at specific detailed info the system generated about the possible problems from our server

Cons

There was nothing we could find wrong with the software, though we though we needed to learn more about the software ourselves.

Great monitoring platform & easy to set up

Clearly I loved the product. Specifically the following features, among others: - Reports with real-time dashboards - Instant alerts, along with detailed info

Pros

I mainly use dotcom monitor , for uptime monitoring of my websites and it does that quite efficiently.

Cons

Occasionally inconsistent server response time. Also, there seems to be a caching issue which holds onto the results from a previous website.

Very useful platform

Pros

Ease of use, ability to integrate with other platforms, and it seems very stable.

Cons

Would have liked to see a few more features in the free version

Awesome monitor

It’s awesome

Pros

It’s great UI monitor product, less bugs and entire enterprise team can use it

Cons

Less tutorials and online Less material

Advanced Alert System

Dotcom-Monitor allows us to monitor multiple services within one interface and platform. Its allowed us to operate more efficient.

Pros

One of Dotcom's best feature is the push/pull API capabilities that provides us with network performances. We use this to monitor for performance issues as well as page loading stats.

Cons

The set-up process is a learning curve. It would be nice to have a similar interface for set-up and maintenance.

Good monitoring software, very reliable

Pros

The reliability is the best feature of this product. I've tested it numerous times and it's always on the money.

Cons

Not any cons that I can see, but perhaps offering a shorter monitor interval for the free version would be great.

Setup is a breeze

Pros

The setup was so easy and allows me to track third party as well as my own apps.

Cons

It is difficult to establish more complex flows

Powerful Alerts & Great Customer Service

Dotcom Monitor's customizable alert system is the best we've ever used. Our previous solution lacked the ability to filter unwanted alerts and customize alert escalation. Their customer support is also very good. Highly recommended.

Great performance data

We've used Dotcom for years and they keep getting better. The added push/pull API capabilities give us clear info on network performance as well as page and server performance issues. Highly recommend!

My experience with Dotcom-Monitor

I am fully satisfied with the product.

Pros

EveryStep Web Recorder that permits me to record and save my videos.As for the APIs, I am so excited that I can personalise my scripts or applications, and this permits me to interact with the program's settings.

Cons

In my opinion, everything is well-organised, and I do not have any cons to report.

Very good , like the certificate check

Very good

Pros

Certificate check / expiration with notification

Cons

Different notification for the almost expired certificate

Good

Really good customer service.

Pros

Easy to use. Gives useful information. Easy to understand.

Cons

I don't really have any cons. But for someone who doesn't know much about website performance it would be helpful to have the meanings/definitions for some of the terminology.
