tip of the iceberg
So far a great experience. In the beginning some pages made the google chrome tab freeze, I reported this bug and it was solved really quickly!
PROSI bought Hexowatch purely for the visual monitoring. But it has so much more monitoring options that it has its value in almost any use-case. But the amount of checks/month for their current price point made it an absolute no brainer
CONSIt's still in a early stage so I wasn't to happy to manually add each monitor but, it's currently on the roadmap to make that easier.
Reason for choosing Hexowatch
user to setup and use, better pricing for the features I need.
Reasons for switching to Hexowatch

Website monitoring
Overall, Hexowatch is alright. It's easy to setup monitoring, you'll just need the choose the type of monitoring you want and the URL of the page. As mentioned, AI monitoring obviously needs some enhancement.
PROSVarious available ways to monitor a website; whether it's your own website, client's, or competitors. For web agencies, these are useful. Types of monitoring includes; uptime, HTML, content, tech used, AI, and WhoIS info.
CONSTheir AI monitoring is still pretty un-useable after 2-3 months. Sending alerts although the site it monitors is fine. My guess is, it still can't work out sliders well.

Flexible monitoring tool that saves you a ton of time
Hexowatch is one of those tools where once you begin using it, you can't imagine life without it. In particular, it saves me a lot of time and increases accuracy when it comes to visually comparing WordPress web pages after applying updates.
PROSThe feature most useful for my business is the visual monitor. It allows me to watch any number of web page for visual changes and then get notified when those changes exceed a certain percentage (called sensitivity). After a change occurs, you can use their slick before/after slider to see exactly what's different. There is also a highlighter graphic that superimposes the before/after states to give you an alternative way of seeing what's changed. It's really quite clever and I've never seen anything on the market like it.
CONSThere are a few UI/UX improvements I would like to see. For example, the Monitored URLs window doesn't show tags or allow for bulk edits. Since I spend most of my time here, I'd also like to see a better summary of each page monitor without having to click/expand each one. I do however feel it's only a matter of time before additional UI/UX improvements are made. The Hexowatch team is responsive and the software has already improved much since I first started using it.

Essential Time & Money Saving Swiss Army Knife
The HTML Element and Visual Content monitoring functionality has saved me a huge amount of time as my job requires me to monitor a huge number of regulator websites for the smaller changes which are often not captured by the larger legal tracking services. As a bonus with this tool I get a notification and a comparison / record (with changes highlighted) of the state of the page before and after . The tool also has also saved money by allowing me to work out when and what times suppliers were changing their prices (Html element monitor allowed me to see a pattern as to when was the best time to buy as some vendors change prices hourly). There are lots of different monitoring types covering everything from Visual, HTML elements, Keywords, Automatic AI Monitoring and more. Weekly feature updates and new features and very responsive developers. Web based so no need to install software.
CONSThe product is still in its infancy and although the html element monitor works a treat for tracking values and prices a dedicated pricing monitor with graphing functionality would be welcome.

A little rough around the edges today, but not for long. A great solution that is quickly maturing!
Don't today's rough edges, keep you from a fantastic product tomorrow! Consistent up-dates! If you experience rough edges, I'm certain that they won't be rough for very long. Hexowatch is quickly maturing. If you don't buy today, when you come back after a few months, it will have gotten much, much better (I'm not implying that it is bad, actually, it's the opposite! It's really good...). What I am saying, is that you'll likely find that you've missed out on some great prices while they launched the product.
PROSI like knowing that I can keep toe-to-toe with my competition, checking their websites for price changes, new services or just keeping track of how their website has changed, perhaps signaling a major change in my competitors online strategy. I also like that I can keep an eye on my partners websites, ensuring their backlinks stay correct with the right anchor text. I even use Hexowatch to monitor my obligations with external links to my partner sites. It's a dead simple way to make sure that your backlinks are always powered up and active.
CONSThere are several little usability features that could be implemented, like for example, bulk editing. Or the ability to edit the entire monitor (currently, once you save a monitor, and need to make a change later, only some of the options are available to edit.) That said - it's really only a matter of time before these minor gripes will be addressed. The team at Hexowatch are always pushing out great new features and squashing bugs. So, don't let a few little usability issues lead you astray - be patient, and I'm sure they will be taken care of in no time. In my few weeks with Hexowatch, I feel that this is the software to add to your collection, especially while the prices are really favorable! It will be on of those solution, that once it matures - it will be a stellar, stound-out product that you managed to grab when the price was affordably low!

One of the best website monitoring that actually works seamlessly
I basically monitor my competitors websites for a change on the blog pages etc. My best use case is to monitor our clients website if something has changed either visually or by keyword etc.
PROSAdding a layer of action to capture changes of the website behind a login page is something awesome. Bulk monitoring pages, Domain Monitoring and really the list goes on. Another big thing abt them is amount of updates they release so regularly, hardly have seen any company doing that.
CONSThey were initial hiccups in terms of missing functionality like bulk monitoring, actions etc..but its covered now.

Much more than a monitoring tool, a competitive weapon of choice
Super easy to set up, regular updates a new features, super responsive developer. Really innovative tool and original positioning on the market.
PROSThe ability to monitor all the competitor websites of interest I need to spy on and keep track of each changes made by clients on their website. There is many monitoring tools on the market but nothing like Hexowatch on the market right now. It can be used as an uptime monitoring tool but that's not its main purpose. It is its capacity to gather insights that is really staggering. Want to now when a private sell will open? Boom, you'll receive a real time notification to tell you when it happens. Want to know your next competitor move or digital marketing strategy? Boom you'll be able to know instantly when they update their page. Want to monitor your website uptime, Hexowatch can do this too. You can track keywords, html code change on any page, have a visual comparison between changes, pretty neat and well thought of. The UI is very clear and intuitive.
CONSNothing. It's super handy. Works as advertised and the developer is very responsive, updating it regularly.

Amazing
Easy to use, feature rich, endless possibilities both for professional and personal use.
PROSWith SaaS it’s the team behind the product that matters most, and I know just how dedicated the team behind Hexowatch is as I've been using another of their products for a few months now. These guys pump out updates and unexpected new features weekly, they respond to your support ticket in minutes, and are actively listening to the community to become the forerunners in their niche. Although a nascent offering to the market, Hexowatch is feature rich and works out of the box like a mature SaaS. Further, it’s unique as nothing else quite like it exists at the moment. Given its myriad use cases you should jump on Hexowatch while it is being offered as a LTD, and even after to be honest.
CONSThere are a few bugs that are being ironed out but, (A) this doesn't surprise me for a product that has just launched, and (B) the team are removing them almost as fast as I type this.

Really great service
Really great
PROSHexowatch allows you to do tasks for a fraction of the price that it would cost from 'specialised' services that only do one thing. It's also saved my sanity from continually visiting pages like change logs, to see if there's any 'latest updates'.
CONSIt's still early in its lifetime so some more advanced improvements are needed (the ability to cloak itself against advanced websites that guard against scraping), but these are on the roadmap and the team has been very receptive to all the feedback requests I've seen

All-in-one solution to monitor domains and websites
Overall, Hexowatch is great. It can be used both to monitor your own websites (to make sure nothing is wrong) or to check your competitors and see what they chance (technology, content, visual, etc.).
PROSDepending on the website, I use various features. For example, for static WP websites, I use visual monitoring to make sure nothing breaks after updating plugisn and themes. I use availability monitoring on all websites to make sure there is no downtime. I use domain monitoring for domains I'd like to buy or to make sure we don't forget to renew ours.
CONSI wish there were more granular options for server location (chosing by country). Currently, there are 3 options: US, EU, Asia.
