"Logtail is the best logging tool out there"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It provides an easy to use interface with SQL-like queries. It's integration allowed me to add Logtail to my projects in a few minutes, unlike other products out there.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I don't think there are any downsides to using Logtail, at least I haven't found any. It serves it's role as it should and there aren't any major issues. Improvements? The only thing I can come up with is a better filtering system, but the one in place is already really good

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

Logtail has helped me efficiently log all requests to my applications for a good price. Thanks to Logtail I can focus on creating and developing products I offer and I don't have to think about some requests failing.

"quite nice service"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

simple page for a status page, everything matters in the page.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

not able to monitor 2+ pages. I know it is paid but that makes it sad, although it doesn't effect my use of this site.

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

it can monitor pages which isn't a feature for me before. When I found out this site I successfully got a status page.

"Great tool and easy to setup"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

* Setup speed * Customising the status page * Alarm notifications via app, mail, phone, etc. during a downtime * Customisable enough to even evaluate the responses * Custom domain support

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

* Would be good to have the opportunity to check on JSON responses in more detailed to determine whether a response is good or bad

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

Monitoring the uptime, but also monitoring now our status pages which do some more in-depth checks. That was all a breeze to set up and we could avoid setting up complex monitoring solutions.

"Awesome UI and features even for free"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I have tried many status page before, especially the one from Jira and UptimeRobot, unfortunalely the features were not great and the UX horrible. I use betteruptime for my growing business, the ping and hearbeat features really change my dev life, the fact that I can connect everything with Slack or get a call if my services go down is awesome. The nice thing is that for once, even with the free plan you get a nice service to get started.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Price is a bit high for a solo developer, might upgrade when my buisness grown though.

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

Peace of mind when not manually monitoring services as well as quicker response when an incident occur.

"Amazing website monitor"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I like the fact that you can setup your monitors and your status page in a very easy and intuitive way.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

So far there is nothing to dislike, even the free version is full of features.

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

Monitor my websites for availability. Before I would need to check them manual or with a small script, but with Better Uptime, I can even check them from different geographic locations.

"Best experience for a monitoring site"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The way each area you want to use walks you through step by step with ease is amazing. The ability to integrate with other applications is great. I have used many monitoring sites over the years and definitely plan on using this forever. I would definitely recommend this to individuals and will be pushing my boss to look at this site.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

There is nothing about Better Uptime that I dislike.

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

It is helping me have a great status page with lots of integrations and alerting capabilities for my websites.

"One of the better options"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The ease of setting this up, it's team feature (you can post a link in your company slack and people with a company email can just onboard themselves), I like the status page, it is simple and it was quick to setup a vanity domain for it. All in all, one of the better solutions i have used.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

It is not that easy to figure out where to setup your own personal notification preferences ( I prefer SMS instead of getting a call), Their automated Phone call is also flagged as spam on my Samsung phone (unfortunate, but not their fault.)

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

Our web app went down due to a node process crashing, and EC2 autoscaling did not pick it up correctly, so as a layer of security, we added BetterUptime to notify us if it goes down for any reason. I feel more at peace now, knowing that we will be the first to notice if our web app goes down.

"Professional uptime monitoring tool with a fair price"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Both Heartbeet and Monitoring are working great. It also has great support that will respond to your requests in only a few hours.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The only downside is that you can only use 10 monitors if you are using the free tier. But I believe that that is more than enough for most people.

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

The best feature is that you will receive a mail if one of your services is no longer available.

"Logtail is terrific"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The ease of advanced SQL usage is fantastic, and integrations with basically any language and platform make logging a total breeze. The Grafana tie-in is great as well.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Honestly I can't think of that much. Mostly the software still seems young and there are bugs that pop here and there and cause a 400/500 error. For example, creating alerts with duplicate names and then attempting to delete one has caused some requests to error out.

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

I'm able to keep a super accurate pulse on usage patterns for YourDB across all user bases. I'm more productive and efficient in my workflow due to super easy monitoring.
