Better Stack Reviews & Product Details

We started using Better Uptime to monitor our new API service and it has helped us keep our customers informed as well as our engineers alerted on any and all issues that may come up in production. Thank you!

So far none! It's the best one out of all status monitoring services in the market

- Great pricing - Beautiful and simple status page - Custom domains - Fast ping/alerts

The call alerts are instant. The moment your site goes. It will alert you based on your config.

To get started, you need to attach an active domain, before you even check out what else is in the offering.

I was looking for a solution to assure the clients a better watch on their sites.

The setup was quick with minimal friction. The overall experience is pleasant and the service does what it should right off the bat.

Nothing comes to mind so far. Smooth sailing.

Centralized uptime check with alert escalation bavked-in.

It's such a powerful tool and at the same time user friendly and very well designed. I love the monitoring and the feature of getting called in case something happens.

The prices are a little high, but are totally relatable and make sense.

I'm monitoring several of our company's online services over this tool. It makes our company way more productive and prepared in case something happens.

I wanted a service that did both monitoring and alerting. Before moving on to Better Uptime, I tried some services (AdminLabs, Status Page...). I used AdminLabs for several years, but I had to leave them because their probes used the same cloud provider as mine. The price is fair and I love the incident workflow, the display is clear and allows you to describe all the steps. I really like the response times across regions graph by monitor, this helps us to know where we can improve our latency !

The only weakness I could find is the layout used for the status page and the lack of response times graph on the status page.

Better Uptime helps me check the liveness of my services across the world. I do have internal monitoring and alerting, but this is never enough because sometimes, even if your services are reachable from inside your infrastructure, they may be unreachable from the outside.

Very customizable, great status pages (with custom URL), and the phone calls stop if all your warnings go off at once. Pauses phones for 60 minutes, but you still get the emails etc. Avoiding too many phone rings at once.

Nothing wrong with this product at all. Everything seems very on point.

It is keeping track of my website servers, my email servers, and a few web application servers. I have 3 status pages setup for the different services, customizable on my own subdomain.

Better Uptime has the best UI/UX for an uptime monitoring service I've ever seen. From the minute you sign up, everything is well organized and has started with sain defaults. You can tell Better Uptime has paid attention to the little details along with the bigger picture. The sain defaults, along with a well-organized dashboard, allow you to be up and running in no time and at the same time know you'll be alerted when things go wrong.

There's not much to dislike about Better Uptime, but if I had to pick the feature that could use the most work, it would be the status pages. The pages are configurable to show response times but come with a downside. If you enable response times, then the page becomes very busy and much harder to read at a glance. It would be helpful to have a dynamic dropdown that can show response times when needed and hidden when not.

I am monitoring my home lab with Better Uptime.

The UI is very clean and well done. I always find the right section without having to navigate complex menus.

Not a dislike, more something I'd like to see implemented: it would be very nice if the home page would show websites and services monitored with some insight, some sort of cards of websites instead of just the list of monitored sites that you need to click to see the status of (though the red and green light indicator shows if a website is under incident).

Having all my websites monitored and avoiding missing an SSL renewal allows me to sleep better. And having the possibility to set multiple types of alerts is an excellent way to prevent missing issues and incidents. The status page is handy, too, and the info is clean and straight to the point.

I am just a newbie to betteruptime, so not much to say, but the service level for this short period was good. I have got what I wanted to have. I am using a free account to monitor several sites and get alerts when they are down, and better-uptime does its job well. Also I liked status page out of the box. It's clear and nice.

Nothing for now. I should watch service work within several months to explain the cons and pros better. For now, I am thrilled and have nothing to say bad against better-uptime.

I have several hosting solutions which are cross-monitoring each other. However, to have a better picture of how services are accessible from the outside, I was looking for some pinger solution and found it. Benefits are free account and status page.

It's super simple to use. In a matter of seconds, you have set it up and verified. You can create public status pages with custom CNAME and real-time monitoring. It's a great added value to your work as a developer and always appreciated by the clients.

The only thing I don't like is the fact that I'm forced to create a status page and ask the client to subscribe to the status page to send them notifications about uptime issues. It would be easier to add the email I want to notify directly in the monitor setup, but you can do this only with team members, and I don't want to be forced to add clients as team members. I also would like to see the domain renewal date and SSL certificate expiration date. Now you can only receive notifications when those happen.

Uptime monitoring from the different geographical areas, domain renewal, and SSL certificate status tracker.
