"Powerful, easy to setup and use. Nice looking status page."
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I like how easy it is to set up and start using, and it takes only a few minutes to get up and running per website. Status pages look very professional with my company logo, and they are easy to understand for my clients. When using status pages, my clients can subscribe to the uptime monitor and get notifications when the website is down and back online again, which is great.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Nothing, but I would love to see integration with MainWP.

What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can monitor all my own and client's websites. This is a great way to see how well or bad different hosting companies perform, and I have already moved several websites away from bad hosting. It is very easy to convince clients to move to another hosting company, when I can show uptime statistics for the past 30 - 365 days.

"This is one of the tools on which I rely for my daily work and swear upon"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

1. Voice notifications — nothing beats a ringing phone that one has to pick up and press a button to acknowledge an alert. Much more difficult to overlook than an SMS or a push alert. 2. Heartbeats — the possibilities to use this feature to control various processes that need to execute on a schedule are huge.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

After 9 months of use I really don't have anything to dislike about this product. If I have to be really, really picky — perhaps their mobile app is a bit of a letdown as it doesn't replicate the full functionality of the web dashboard but redirects towards it (for example, to see the details of an alert). Because I have 2FA enabled on my account, there are several additional operations that I need to perform to see what happened during an alert.

What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you?

BU helps me keep track of my website uptime and holds me honest towards 3rd parties who are using — or consider using — my hosting services. Also, the Heartbeat feature allows me to be sure that my servers perform as they should and that backups are made regularly.

"Better Uptime has done an excellent job monitoring all the websites I manage!"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The content monitor is great to check that the site is always still displaying the text it's supposed to. Had it been defaced it would most likely be missing. :)

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Nothing I can think of off the top of my head..

What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you?

I rely on it to always check that the sites I manage are online and working so I know before my customers know if something is not working correctly.

"Absolutely love Better Uptime! 👌"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Have used many monitoring tools in the past however love just how easy better uptime is to use and setup. We absolutely love Better Uptime and can't recommend it enough!

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Whilst there is a grouping feature for the monitors and heartbeats it does require you to drag them to the bottom of the screen to create a new group. We would like to see the following: 1. Sort by group name for entire screen as it can get pretty messy when you have 100's of groups on one screen. 2. Sort each group by name so that each heartbeat and monitor is sorted in each group 3. Create a group without having to drag a monitor or heartbeat to the bottom. This is needed especially when you start creating thousands of groups and monitors.

What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows us to detect expiring SSL certificates. We also use it to monitor uptime of servers and network devices.

"Just one word Fantastic!"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

This is one of the coolest tools on our stack! Definitely, a most needed tool to keep track of uptime, incidents, and real-time alerts. Realtime and multi-location monitoring make to avoid any kind of false-positive alerts. The phone call-based alerts make our incident escalation process faster. The BetterUptime not just monitors the server uptime but also specific ports, SSL expiry, domain expiry, website content changes, and it makes it another level of product. Betteruptime makes life easier!

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Just wish to have some comprehensive mobile application with detailed alerts overview. Other than that so far, so good! We haven't deployed for our complete infrastructure yet! But it performs best on whatever we have added till now. So, no complaints! No dislikes!

What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Uptime monitoring and alerts. Monitoring our client sites, SSL and domain name. The call based incedent alerts making this a really out of the box application. This enables us to faster escalation for all any downtimes or errors within the system.

"You will never regret getting BetterUptime. 100% AAA"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It works 100% of the time. Sites go down, I know immediately. On desired URL's, I get a phone call. Weekly reports let me know how my clients were handled and I highly recommend the app. I've tried many, none are better!!!

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

All works perfectly. I have no recommendations. BetterUptime is a solid performer.

"Discord Notifications? Yes!"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Better Uptime provides a very well put-together interface to add monitors and alarms for services running at home, in the cloud, or elsewhere. I've been using it for about 6 months and it's been highly reliable and notifying me that my things are down, and when they come back up. It's been a game changer and keeping my SLAs.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

This product is great! The only problem I've run into is that webhooks aren't free. If you're using this product to "make money" then that's probably not a big deal. I use it for free open source software and services, so I didn't want to pay (sorry, I'm a bit cheap). The company was nice enough to give me webhooks for free when I asked for them. I couldn't have asked for more, and that feature being enabled has allowed me to maintain SLAs on my (also free) services. I connected Better Uptime to Notifiarr.com so I can get custom notifications in Discord. It works beautifully.

What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you?

Better Uptimes tells me very quickly when my services are down. It allows me to react and correct the problems before my users notice.
