What do you like best about Better Stack?

The user interface is clean and easy to use. I appreciate how I receive app notifications on my phone and can easily acknowledge them online. In addition to monitoring uptime, I can get specific by monitoring HTTP status codes and even keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

What I love most about BetterStack is the usability of the application. The UI is really nice and it works smoothly all the time. It's a product I rely on day-to-day basis. The product I use most is BetterStack Logs and we could easily integrate log monitoring in minutes. I never have to SSH our servers to check the logs and filtering is never easy. Even if I SSH to the server and read the logs, it's so damn hard to find anything there. But with BetterStack the logs are readable in a colorful dark layout. Also we never have to worry about any missed errors or anything. As soon as we got an error logged, BetterStack alerts me by email with a nice little graph with the log frequency. I think BetterStack made our company more productive. We never had to contact customer support as things were running smoothly. But we contacted customer support for some inquiries and they got back to us really fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I wish BetterStack allows me to send log alerts by Slack / Telegram too. Sometimes we miss emails as we receive plenty of them on a daily basis. But an app notification is more reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BetterStack mostly solved our log monitoring. We tried many products before. What we paid for before, BetterStack offers us for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

Betterstack is great for monitoring your services and get email/phone notifications, their dashboard is user friendly. Migrating from hetrix to betterstack was easy to implement our old services, we use it frequently to post downtimes, updates or even maintenances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I don't have any bad points about betterstack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It logs automatically the downtimes into an history that users can see later in the past too, which is awesome that hetrix can't do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

I started with their free Logs tool (Logtail) and haven't looked back. Forget those other free log management options, they're just plain bad. BetterStack's Logtail is amazing, even on the free plan. Managing logs on my Laravel web apps and Ubuntu servers is a breeze now. Debugging is so much faster, it's like magic! Then they came out with Uptime, and let me tell you, it's another game-changer. I used Freshping before, but Uptime leaves it in the dust. Setting things up is ridiculously easy, no matter what you're monitoring. The best part? You won't miss an outage ever again. BetterStack throws the kitchen sink at you with alerts: emails, in-app stuff, even Slack and Discord if that's your jam. And get this, they'll call you on your phone if things go south, even without internet! No more excuses for missing something critical. Their status pages are pretty slick too. Easy to understand and all that, and you can customize them to show what matters to you. Users will know exactly what's going on during an outage. Plus, their customer support is fantastic. Basically, BetterStack makes monitoring and debugging my projects a breeze. It's user-friendly, feature-packed, and supported by a great team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

There one thing I would like to suggest. Making customizations to the status page, like colors that suit for the branding. This is just a improvement suggestion. BetterStack is absolutely perfect in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BetterStack solves two big headaches for me: keeping my clients' systems online and making debugging my projects a breeze. First, BetterStack's Uptime acts like a watchdog for my clients' systems. If something crashes, I get an immediate notification so I can fix it fast. This minimizes downtime and keeps my clients happy, knowing their systems are reliable. Second, their Logs tool (Logtail) helps me manage and analyze logs from my Laravel and Ubuntu servers. Logtail makes finding the root cause of issues easy, saving me tons of debugging time. This means projects get finished faster and developers (including myself) are much happier.

Basically, BetterStack keeps my clients' systems running smoothly and lets me debug issues efficiently. It's a win-win for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
