"Great Experience"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Combining the status page with monitoring under one solution

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

i dislike nothing about better uptime so far

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

I used to pay for the status page and Pingdom separately, better uptime helps me save and add new features to our monitoring like cronjob monitoring.

"Easy to setup, easy to use."
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I've been using Better Uptime for a while now and have been very impressed. It was very easy to set up and is very easy to use. I tried other similar offerings but settled with Better Uptime for its stability and ease of use.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Nothing really to dislike. I'm only on the free tier, but this covers everything I need. At first, I thought the pricing was a little high, but having used it I can see it would be value for money.

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

Compared to my previous onsite monitoring system Better Uptime (being off-site) is far more stable and reliable. I've never missed an alert and have very few false positives.

"Exactly What I Was Looking For"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The focus and depth of the product. Unlike other companies where logging is only a small part of the offering.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

It's new software. I had one minor issue, but their support had it fixed within an hour! I wish there was a Winston client, but I may just write one.

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

They're likely to become my go-to solution for log management - serverless, traditional, everything...

"Best Monitoring service in 2022!"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I love Better Uptime's design and ease of use. And when the site crashes, I think it's an excellent feature that they reach you by e-mail, sms or calling. 10/10!

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

There isn't a feature I don't like, but the live chat (support team) is slow to respond.

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

Better uptime keeps me aware of crashes on my site. And it helps my team.

"Excellent monitoring system"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Extremely intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Easy-to-implement monitoring with many possibilities. The status page is excellent and allows you to create more than one. Incident management is also very powerful.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Do not allow any more integrations in the free plan.

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

Centralized incident management and real-time monitoring. Process optimization and improved incident response time.

"Great for monitoring systems"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It has an amazing UI, and SMS notifications and it monitors any type of system including SMTP, IMAP, servers and domains with their respective response time. Whenever there is an issue the team is notified. You can also connect a custom domain for the statuspage.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

It's a little time-consuming to set up all the monitoring services for the different components and it's not that easy to change the design of the status page that is created,

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

To use several other software to monitor the throughput, the origin requests health, and the responsiveness of the service. It also provides a centralised bugs management system with tagging options which really helpful.

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

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

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?

"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.

Nothing so far, I just signed up for it a few days ago and i havent used it enough to give an accurate answer

"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.

"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.

"Very quick to get setup and logs streaming in"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

How easy LogTail was to set up with Render. Literally got logs streaming in within 2 minutes, and clear, intuitive UI for navigating.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Nothing at the moment, very happy user so far.

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

Keeping an eye on production performance, with background processes kicking off the whole time it's very important to have visibility in all areas.

"Better than the others I tried - Does what I need and does it well."
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I really like that it checks for expired certificates. You can even adjust the time to be alerted for example send me an alert 2 weeks before or even 1 day before. The ability to alert in a Microsoft Teams channel is a bonus. Yes, you can send to an email but sending via Teams is more message friendly. Email and a Teams message are ideally formatted differently.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I dislike nothing. It's perfect for our needs.

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

We are monitoring a few servers but the most important one is that it can monitor our WOWZA stream. There are specific services for monitoring m3u8 streams and yet better uptime can do it perfectly fine using a simple ping or the standard uptime check for status 200 which is the default.
