What do you like best about Better Stack?

The free plan of Better Stack is a great value and includes a lot of features that their competitors only includes in their paid plans. The platform is really easy to use and the integrations are great. I love the fact that you can connect your custom domain even on the free tier. Great to track my self-hosted apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I don't have any downsides to about Better Stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have a lot of self-hosted apps and it is getting hard to know when one is down. With Better Stack I can be notified as soon as one of my apps is down and I can resolve the issue quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

It is really easy to set up Better Stack Logs within my JavaScript/TypeScript/Java projects using React/Next.js and React/Spring Boot either for the frontend and backend. The documentation really helps even for junior developers and trainees.

The frontend of Better Stack is well organized and fun to work with. It is easy to find and analyze logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to reset a source token. When a token is leaked, I have to delete the source (and all logs) and create a new source.

A few weeks ago, the platform's frontend was very slow to respond for a few hours and I contacted support. The next day, everything was working as expected again and support made sure I didn't have any more problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better Stack centralizes the logs of all my applications so that I have a single source to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot issues efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

I use Better Stack for the simple stuff, such as being notified when my websites go down. I'm a solo developer, so I don't have a time of people that have to be notified. It's just me, which means I need to know when a site goes down, and why, so that I can look into it and get the site back up. I bought Better Stack because I was tired of finding out that a site went down from my customers who notified me on social media. Now I can find out before them, look into the cause, and fix it.

I just started using the logs features, now that I have upgraded to my own VPS. I'm glad that Better Stack already has such robust features. It was easy to set up. Within a few minutes I can already see that people are trying to log-in to my server with my root ID and random passwords. Now I'm curious what I can do to prevent this. So I'm glad that Better Stack is showing me how to improve my security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I don't have anything to complain about. It does exactly what I paid for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better Stack helps me find out when my site goes down, before having to hear it first from my customers. It's a huge load off of my mind to not have to wonder, 'Is my site still up?' If I didn't receive a notification from Better Stack, that means the site is up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

The interface is great! Super easy to filter data, set things up, get to the problem, go to the end of the tail, etc. I find it very intuitive and easy to use.

The ability to click on elements within the actual log and then build filters from that is very very handy. Makes it super easy to explore possible patterns and hunches without having to make a huge investment in setting up filters.

Configuring sources was ridiculously easy. Probably because I was "cheating" and went through the vercel integration😄 but it was a few clicks and boom, logs-a-flowing.

Much easier than any other logging solution i've worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I can't really think of anything I "dislike". I wish there was a bit less latency, but that is a networking issue AND it's faster than other solutions I've tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

It binds together things that are logically aligned but seldomly found in a single tool. You can do monitoring and incident management in the same place in a very, very integrated fashion. You can alot schedules for oncall rotations and you can do so in sharable calendars.

As for the log/metrics part of betterstack I've only yet tried the free tier but I'm quite comfortable in saying that it's better than cloudwatch and at least on the standarts of something like elastic/opensearch or datadog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The integrations are sometimes a bit lacking (calendars, SSO, etc) in variety. Some integrations are a bit finicky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- giving status updates to customers in a clear and transparent fashion

- managing incidents in a very concise and clear way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

Got it running for 3 of our applications in about an hour. The status page option is great. You can also add your own domain if you like. The application is very intuitive to use, you will not need help and support for basic stuff. There are tons of options to configure if you need it. The free plan is generous.
