What do you like best about Catchpoint?

The User Interface. It's very intuitive and easy to use. Also, with points, you can use any features available as part of the monitoring.

The point based pricing model is simple and straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

It would be great if they have real user measurement data besides the synthetic data, that will increase the sample size and enhance the accuracy.

It would be great if they can share the benchmark data with the customers for benchmarking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Catchpoint:

1. Try it for a month, Their sales and pre-sales team is well competent and helpful.

2. Be careful to use catchpoint for the applications you want to monitor as any additional monitoring will consume the points from the pool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Catchpoint customers realize exponential value resulting from our unique approach to reducing the frequency, duration, and end-user impact of digital incidents. The primary way we accomplish this is by extending observability boundaries to include digital experience metrics, and monitoring for reachability in addition to core uptime and performance.
Our holistic approach to monitoring removes blind spots left by other purported experience monitoring vendors, resulting from the following monitoring telemetry:

900+ active synthetic locations (over 500 of which are on backbone ISP)

1,000+ BGP peers (over 300 ASN providers)

Real user measurement ‘RUM’ from any supported browser

Endpoint measurement from any supported device

User sentiment from social APIs

This high-cardinality data set is combined with our advanced analytics and alerting capabilities to deliver actionable intelligence, resulting in substantially improved mean time to repair.

Well defined UX, easy to understand and deploy test runners, and easy alerting mechanisms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very UX intensive that sometimes trying to get to a particular view gets difficult. Having an accompanying chatbot/searchable documentation will be helpful to streamline the process of navigating to the desired views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Catchpoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

Catchpoint helps detect issues with our web application in production. We use it to login to our portal and verify if login succeeds as expected. It helps catch any kind of outages well in time so that our engineering teams can quickly jump into action if there's an outage in any region. It also misfires a lot, but our team is willing to take misfired alerts so as to be sure to detect any potential outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Catchpoint?

Easy to use once setup, and we like it because it helps us understand global application performance on a per-node basis. No experience with their customer support teams, but the breadth of data available and granularity of testing criteria make this a great tool for any team needing observability and monitoring. We find ourselves using it almost every day to deal with things that come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Catchpoint?

Speed is sometimes lacking - UI can be clunky although it's customizable to a degree. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
