You can set the site to be monitored every 30 seconds if you wish which is a great feature for such a low priced tool. > > **Cons**: Its a fairly new company and there have been a couple of glitches, but nothing to stop me using it to its full potential - The error reporting has been 100% but i've had the odd site that didn't auto resolve the incident - I believe better uptime have now fixed that issue ----- ### "For standard monitoring, it is among the best" — 5.0/5 > **Angelo** | *23 July 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like how easy it is to set it up. Once you have the url or ip of the service. The system will be able to start operating immediately. System administrators usually know how to configure it. It has a very intuitive user interface. The app makes things a lot easier. Sometimes we can't check the mail, so having a personalized notification on the smartphone doesn't help to identify what problems there are, without even seeing the phone. It is these small details that enhance these systems. > > **Cons**: I would like to be able to self host the system for internal service monitoring within VPN networks. But for this, there are other alternatives > > Better Uptime is a system that complies with what it offers, even the free version, it is very powerful for basic systems, which are hosted on shared hosting. I have recommended it to colleagues who are just starting out in system administration, and it has been very helpful. ----- ### "Just brilliant" — 5.0/5 > **Eva** | *4 November 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, great uptime robot alternative, love the UX > > **Cons**: I would appreciate some more integrations, hopefully they will arrive soon. > > Super easy to use, set up was done in no time. It's actually quite a powerful tool, does everything you need. I especially enjoy the UX, which feels much cleaner and straight forward - much better than uptime robot in that case. Also the free status page comes quite handy - the design again very nicely done\! ----- ### "Best monitoring saas I've ever used" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *6 December 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can fully customize the monitoring test endpoint to call (maybe require a POST call? perhaps my not ok response is a 400 HTTP status?) and also create escalation policies to notify incidents. It's great that It can notify someone in charge of it based on a calendar and escalate it to all the team if the incident got no solution. The status page you can add is fully customizable as well, and you know how important it is to have a professional-looking status page. The best feature is you can receive a call on a phone number if an incident is occurring. Fantastic\! > > **Cons**: The thing I don't like is that you can't have a dashboard with the current status of every monitor you set up on more than one team. It's great that you can have an oversight view of a team's monitors, but if you have more than one team, you have to switch them to have a global view of the situation. The mobile app works fine for notifications but doesn't have any other feature, and it just lets you go to the web app dashboard through the mobile browser. ----- ### "Best Server Management Software I've Used" — 5.0/5 > **Rod** | *29 July 2021* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I operate several websites and needed a tool that would alert me as quickly as possible when the server was down. Better Uptime does this job better than any other software I've used. It checks my websites every 30 seconds so I am always able to respond to issues very quickly. > > **Cons**: For what I need the software to do, there isn't one negative comment I can say about Better Uptime. > > Better Uptime is probably the best investment I've ever made for server management. You won't regret trying it out yourself so you can experience the reliability of their server downtime alerts. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/185395/Better-Stack?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/185395/Better-Stack) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
