What do you like best about Better Stack?

I'm extremely pleased with basically everything about Better Stack: the tool provides a plug-and-play solution to a problem, the interface is user-friendly, the tutorial was well-explained, and it's clearly documented. Using Python, the implementation was extremely simple.

The customer support was helpful and clear in their answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Better Stack fullfilled all the needs and beyond. There is basically nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better Stack allows to search and filter specific logs, and even more impoprtantly, send notitifications on critical errors. That's very useful, without having to develop any custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

Using this to import logs from my distributed systems to one central place.

It was pretty easy to integrate, because vector.dev is easy to understand and use. Could always go further and tweak more log parsing, but hey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The aggregation of logs into graphs and alerts is a bit "getting used to" haven't understood everything about the SQL used there.

Sometimes the UI gives me miracles, but overall this is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you easily can get started for free and setup was like less than 5 minutes.

Then possibility to build out for more functionallity when needed and after your own budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Some things did not work as expected, i.e "looking for a word" in a frontend when it is being rendered in the browser. Threre were no such thing as like "wait X amount of ms for word Y to exist". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

Free getting started tool! It's always nice to be able to start with a free version to see if the tool fits the needs. And this one does! Simple to use and integrate! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Not much. I'd like more emphasis on the dashboards and graphs. It's still in beta, so hoping for the best. There is a lot of great opportunities to plot logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can access my logs from anywhere, even my phone. And plot the output without the need of bringing up tools myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

They provide a free status page that you can use with your own subdomain, which was really easy to set up and integrate with my website. They'll also call you when your website goes down, unlike some other services I tried. They have plenty of features for customizing your status page, such as custom css and javascript. The customer service was top notch, I even got a free T-Shirt just for being a customer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I don't really have anything bad to say about them, and I haven't run into any friction using the service as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better Stack lets me know when my website is down or not performing as expected. I will recieve an email and a phone call letting me know what's up, and it helps me respond quickly and find the source of the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

I would definitely say that the calling feature is the best part of BetterStack - my developers can be alerted almost instantly after an incident is started. I also love the simplicity and how easy it is to deploy the status page. I think that status pages now look really bad, Atlassian status pages just don't look that good; they're bland, no dark mode, and look like an old webpage. However, BetterStacks' Status Page looks absolutely amazing.

I had an amazing support conversation with a BetterStack employee, I asked if I could recieve one more team member on my dashboard, which normally comes at a cost - they said yes! I was very surprised that they said yes, and very happy too. The support response time was a few hours, and I was kept updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I only have one thing, which is the lack of a Discord integration. I would like for me to be able to create incidents through a Discord bot. It would also be really really cool if there was a Discord bot in a channel that would edit its message based on the status.

For example, there's a message that says "All Systems Operational," however, when there is an incident, the embed color changes to yellow and provides a timeline of all status updates, and the effected monitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BetterStack is making the process of calling IT members automatic. It will call IT right when an issue starts, including me! This makes downtime very minimal. Not only that, but I can track the ping of my website in multiple regions - allowing me to determine where I need to deploy edge servers at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Better Stack?

Better Stack Uptime is intuitive, modern and advanced. All in one!

For those starting out they have a sweet free plan, which I will highly recommend. And if you need more, they have affordable plans.

Integrates and implementates very quickly. I use it for all my website/server monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The free plan has 3 minute checks instead of 30 second checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Better Stack provides a intuitive and advanced system for monitoring websites. In other systems it takes a lot of time to set up. But Better Stack was so intuitive, I was ready in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
