Better uptime is easy to set up, it doesn't require any specific knowledge to set it up. It has a well looking user interface, and I love the integration with slack.
There's nothing I don't like, but what I hope is that the number of functionality will increase up day by day, I'm hopeful that this will happen , because the service works great!!
I want to know when my server goes down, or when my Internet connection stops working. Moreover, I want that all my customers know when services aren't working so they won't call or send email to me.
Status pages can be enabled and are good looking out of the box, but if you need, there are CSS and JS customization options (in paid plans). You can also choose a custom domain using CNAME
Logging in for the first time in the control panel was a bit overwhelming at first, but after getting through the first tutorial the panel is intuitive enough
I was using another service before better uptime, which suffered from downtimes and also didn't have many of the features that Better Uptime has. Setting up a status page to use for our website was easy enough to be done in few minutes
Better Uptime helped us solve several business challenges (monitoring, on-call and status page) in one integrated solution at a reasonable cost.
I would like to see an option to whitelist IP addresses for the status page, since for now we are only using it for employees
We were able to get rid of our Atlassian status page and opsgenie subscriptions plus add monitoring and some great news integrations, all while paying less overall.
There is a free plan which has many features! I also like the fact that I can monitor IMAP or POP3 services and even our DNS server!
There are some features (for example, the call service when your website goes down) that aren't free, but this is not a significant issue, in my opinion.
I can check and track if my website/server goes down or doesn't respond quickly. This helps me to react faster in case of a downtime.
Even with the free version, we have ability to monitor our websites every 3 minutes. It's more than enough for our company. So if you are not a bank or government, you clearly can use even the free version.
None of them I had inspected. There is nothing I dislike.
For now we are just monitoring our website up times and it is very helpful when site is down.
The support team is fantastic, from their expert knowledge on issues to the speed at which they reply. I am thrilled at the ease of setup, dealing with support issues, and overall experience with Better Uptime.
Nothing, for almost a year, they've made my life easier and been fantastic to work with.
Less time wasted monitoring networks. I can relax, and when a site goes down, and I don't know how to resolve it Better Uptime is there to help.
The logs are real time. I can run a program and then see the logs within seconds.
The first time I logged in it took me a moment to know when ch severs I was using because we have a couple.
Helping more people troubleshoot errors
How reliable and accurate it is when our app goes down. Instant notifications. Its awesome
I've been using Better UpTime for about 2-3 weeks and haven't ran into anything is dislike
Some problems we are solving with better uptime is having as little down time as possible. The benefits we realized were increased performance and less down time
Ridiculously simple to set up. I'm using Vercel for my web app, so I pretty much just clicked "add integration" on the site, and boom everything was setup. Instant value in <10 minutes. Wanted a straightforward log drain, and that's exactly what I got. Filtered for 500 error codes and was able to use that info to remove the five most common errors on the app same day I signed up.
There doesn't seem to be any way to filter logs at the ingest side (at least with Vercel). Vercel logs pretty much every single API request, so I end up with way more logs than I need. Still, my app makes a couple million requests / month, and it's still not even close to hitting the 30GB limit for the first price tier.
Mainly keeping a log of errors (Vercel logging goes away soon as you stop looking at their logging page in real-time). Went from almost 1000 errors in a day to <5 in the last 6 hours. There's an option for alerts, so I know that if I mess up somewhere with a new feature and get error 500s again it'll show up pretty quickly there.
The simplicity to use, the free plan is great, the custom domain on the free plan is also available.
So far our experience with Better Uptime is great.
