Reliable monitoring system, very flexible.
I'm a solo developer/admin for an internet-based company, and so it's crucial that we are immediately aware of any outages or problems with our sites. We've been using Uptime for roughly 18 months, and it has proven to be extremely reliable in detecting any outages. Additionally, the advanced monitoring checks that are available are impressive - it can submit data to forms, observe real user sessions, verify that SSL certificates are valid, and more. I strongly recommend Uptime to anyone who relies on a steady internet presence for their business. Tremendous value for our company, and great peace of mind for myself especially, as the overseer of our operations.
PROS- Easy to use, very clean design - Notifies quickly of any detected outages - Reliably detects even small/brief outages - The wide variety of things that can be monitored, including APIs & multi-step pathways - Very quick to navigate through the various console pages - API access to the reports that can be integrated into internal applications - Documentation is very thorough - Monitoring checks are executed from several points around the world
CONSThere are no cons, in my opinion. It does exactly what's advertised - and more.

Uptime monitoring with performance metrics that more people should know about
Uptime monitoring is simple by nature which could lead a lot of individuals to think the choice doesn't really matter. Uptime maintains the simplicity you would expect (even in its branding) but allows a lot of complex problem-solving under the hood. This balance of easy-of-use and powerful extensibility is exactly what my team was looking for. I'm glad we stumbled across this product.
PROSA myriad of available notification options. This helps ensure that alerts are seen right away. We push alerts to user's phones, through our internal messaging software, and to kiosk monitors in the offices. Threat detection was an unexpected plus as well. Alerts can come from multiple locations around the globe so it can help discover regionally isolated incidents as well.
CONSThe concept of team management and user permission management is still evolving and not quite as robust as I would prefer.
Reasons for switching to Uptime Cloud Monitoring
Pingdom just doesn't do enough for the price we were paying. We also had a number of issues with dependability of its testing nodes which led to a lot of frustrating false-alarms.
Vendor Response
Hello Saransh, thank you for your feedback. As a user-centric organization, we take user requests very seriously. Our support team would love to hear about user permission improvements you may have. Feel free to contact our support team at support@uptime.com

Zero African Footprint
Loved the product. Just wish it offered a full global presence. I can recommend it if your service is not hosted on the African continent but if you not, find something else.
PROSI love all of it and this product would stay my first choice if it had a footprint in Africa.
CONSWe get false downtime notifications whenever there are issues with the undersea cables linking Africa to the rest of the world. This complicates monitoring SaaS and leaves the product useless for SLA and OLA calculations.

Greetings Deon, We believe the faults attributed to your poor monitoring experience are with another monitoring provider. We have maintained a probe server in Johannesburg for some time, and are continually expanding the number of locations we cover. Are you certain that your experience was with Uptime.com?

High quality but more expensive
Real-time monitoring has been quite accurate. We have compared the tool with other real-time monitoring providers, but uptime has higher performance. Performance metrics and routing help us detect anomalies in the communication between our clients' servers and ours. This is interesting, mainly, because we can know through ping if a server is suffering from a DDoS attack, which has become very common. A very interesting feature, which we have not seen in other providers of this service, is monitoring from a different location. We liked this a lot, because we can choose the best place to hire a service.
CONSIt is more expensive than other providers. I understand that they have tools that other providers do not have (at least in the published service offer). However, this can be obtained in most cases by contacting the provider and requesting the approximate location where you want the monitoring to take place.
Reason for choosing Uptime Cloud Monitoring
Performance tests were much better, aesthetics and ease of use prevailed when we recommend it to our customers.

Uptime.com provides quality external monitoring
We predominantly use Uptime to monitor the WAN uptime and latency of edge devices we manage. Uptime.com works perfectly well for this purpose and has a robust API that allowed us to easily migrate from a prior platform. We are also able to pull various reports in different formats to provide to clients when needed. The biggest downfall is that we aren't able to provide a client with access to just their own sites so they can live monitor their connections as well.
PROS-Robust API -Multiple monitoring locations -Easy configuration -Useful data
CONS-Instead of a ping monitor showing "down" it shows as "1200ms" -No multi-tenant support
Reasons for switching to Uptime Cloud Monitoring
-Pricing changes -Platform design -Ownership changes

Works great!
Great experience. Wonderful service, powerful tool, good people.
PROSLots of configurable controls. Simple to use interface that's both attractive and functional. Gets the job done right.
CONSIt'd be nice to be able to more easily see which specific server a down report comes from. Sometimes there's just general internet network issues and I don't care if some server in Peru can't ping the site.

Thank you for reviewing our service! Appreciate the kind words. We indicate location when sending and displaying alerts. If you need assistance on this we are happy to help! Feel free to email us at support@uptime.com.

Keep it UP! Informs within minutes if there is an error
Love it, it monitors really great, the emails send never end up in my spambox and the sms service is reasonable quick, nice for monitoring during the night, just a quick sms on your smartwatch :-)
PROSThis service is amazing, you can define keywords on the monitoring to actually see if your website is up and is showing the proper content instead of an error, also I like the SSL check, it warns you when you are about to renew, superb!
CONSSorry, nothing to complain, you need to pay for shorter checks, in case you would like to check every minute, instead of 5 minutes, but its cheap, sorry, its not a con...
Reason for choosing Uptime Cloud Monitoring
Try yourself and you will agree with me that you don't have to choose between other products.

Excellent and simple software
Really great tool on the whole, all websites should use a tool to monitor the uptime and Uptime does the job perfectly!
PROSVery easy setup. Notifications by SMS + email: perfect.
CONSDefault SMS notifications could be more optimized: you get an SMS for each monitored page that is down. It's possible however to fine tune this, but I haven't taken time to do it, set up could be a bit more guided to do it more easily (but honestly I haven't tried so hard since it's not so much a big deal).

Most complete website monitoring solution
We use Uptime to provide real-time monitoring information to our users. We're able to quickly identify and address issues on our platform, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
PROSEmail and SMS alerts in order to be notified as soon as one of our web services goes down. This is very useful for us as we're able to identify and resolve issues very quickly. Being able to personalize the look and feel of our website monitoring system is also very important for us.
CONSQuite expensive pricing and lack of dedicated plan for early-stage startups. Also the documentation for the REST API could be improved, with exemples over what's possible with Uptime.

Fast way to get an external watch on our system.
It was simple to setup. They have all the documentation need to open up just what you need to access your system to monitor. It a great that it is free to start with so you can see if it will work for your company.
CONSIt only keeps 30 days record of that your system has done. Until you buy the pay version it only checks every 5 minutes. Other than that I love the product.

Uptime, everytime
It fills the brief and is very straight forward to us.
PROSThe software is easy to use and the multi-region monitoring servers is ideal for monitoring our SaaS platform.
CONSNothing to dislike about the software. It does the job well.
Reason for choosing Uptime Cloud Monitoring
No. We use Uptime along with an alternate product as a way of reducing false positives which we found was occuring when we relied on only one monitoring source.

False downtime notifications, but easy to use
Nice admin interface, easy to use and you can Pause uptime monitors, select different locations to monitor from, and get email notifications if a site goes down.
CONSIt's great when it works but I've seen a lot of false notifications come in for websites I monitor and Unreliable: I'll check the site while it's "down" and it's fine, so I'm not sure it's actually working properly. I monitored 10 sites for about 7 or 8 months and always got tons of downtime notifications that weren't true.

Easy way to make sure our application is responsive for users
Setting up uptime was a quick process - just point it at a URL and it started giving us valuable data. There was even more once we set up some customized transactions that ensured that our login flow was working and completing in a reasonable amount of time. That combined with SMS and push notifications means I can be confident that our app is working, and if something happens with it, I know I'll be alerted to it faster than users could even reach out.
CONSI'd love to see some additional lower-level metrics (CPU, Nginx Queue wait times, etc.), but honestly, I think that's a different product category all together. I appreciate the simple and straightforward nature of uptime.

Feature rich uptime and RUM
Uptime has a great uptime checking service along with the less common realtime user monitoring (RUM) service. The service could definitely use some polishing, but for the cost, it's really fantastic. There was a problem I ran into where reports couldn't be exported to CSV if you defined a date range. Initially support was great, until they stopped responding. It took months for the issue to be addressed. At one point I left a review on their Facebook page because they had become completely unresponsive. They immediately replied and I was back in touch with support... until they stopped replying again. But in the end it got fixed, and there's nothing else I've had to contact support for!
PROS- Uptime checking with a decently fast interval between checks. - Simple RUM reporting!
CONS- Doesn't seem that RUM is being improved or developed in anyway. - Support can take a while to resolve a bug.
