What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

It's very seamless to create any monitor we need and the integrations into Slack make it perfect for my team's workflow. We're alerted of outages of resources used by our stack sometimes before the status pages of those resources report it. The support staff is very accommodating as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

I have no complaints with this product. UptimeRobot hasn't given us any trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a news website and it's important to our audience to have a reliable site as information develops. UptimeRobot alerts us about when our site or tools we've built for reporters go down, which enables us to take immediate action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

I have been using UptimeRobot to monitor various websites and servers, and I must say that the best thing I like about this tool is its user-friendly interface. It allows me to track different things on different websites with ease. Additionally, the customizable alerts and real-time monitoring features have been extremely beneficial for me. It's easy to integrate & implement using the web interface. Support is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

However, one downside that I have noticed is that when dealing with Windows systems, checking scheduled tasks can be a bit cumbersome. Also, the options can be limited if you have a lot of sites to monitor frequently on the free plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

UptimeRobot has been an indispensable part of my website and server management arsenal. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for reliable uptime monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

The free plan is really good for people who self host some pages / services. The status page is neat looking. There are plenty monitoring methods, like simple HTTPS response check, ping, port check or keyword check. The 5 minute refresh rate is completely sufficient. You get email notifications when a status changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

Android app push notifications don't seem to work, which might be a free plan limitation, but there is no "upgrade" label beside its option. An android home screen widget would be really helpful for a quick glance. The web UI has 2 versions right now, and some things can only be found here or there, which is a bit confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It notifies me when one of my websites go down. It gives a detailed status history for all my websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

I've been using the service for about a month.

It has a user-friendly android app.

In free plan, they ping my domain every 5 minutes and if it is down, I'm notified on my phone.

I can see a chart for downtimes occured in last day, last week and last month.

I can also see average response time of my server in miliseconds in the last 24 hours.

If you want to have ping interval of less than 5 minutes, you can buy paid plans.

They can also notify you by telegram, SMS and phone call but I have not used these options since they cost me money and I wanted to go with the free services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

Sometimes the android app logs out itself and I have to log in again.

The web dashboard should be more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I manage a VPS on aws. Recently, few times it happened that the server had a sudden spike of CPU utilization and it stopped working until I would restart it. Unfortunately, I could notice the incident only after hours of server downtime and it made the users unhappy.

UptimeRobot checks my website every 5 minutes and notifies me on my phone when an outage occursservice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

I have been using UptimeRobot for monitoring websites and services hosted in AWS, specifically for general red light, yellow light, and green light monitoring. The service has been invaluable in allowing our administrators to respond immediately to any failures, ensuring a 99% uptime. This prompt response is crucial, especially given the occasional website failures due to resource limitations or unforseen technical disruptions.

I am very satisfied with the service and the customer support provided by UptimeRobot. Although I haven't utilized all the features they offer, the ones I have used have been reliable and effective. Over the past few months of testing UptimeRobot, it has consistently treated me well, providing the monitoring and support I need to maintain our services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

I would like UptimeRobot to incorporate additional features around running custom scripts for website monitoring (such as health checks that are specific to certain services) which could help improve response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Basic website level monitoring for uptime. UptimeRobot provides immediate response to alert administrators of any downtime . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

In a matter of seconds you create a sensor and you are already monitoring your service. In addition, the free version has everything you need, if you are a professional you may need the paid version, but with the free version you can carry out effective monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

Only with the mobile version, I have had a problem that it does not generate a site down alert, but it does arrive in the email, so it is not a big problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Now I can anticipate crash reports from my clients. Previously, I wouldn't know if a site was down until the client reported it. Now I can anticipate and by the time the client finds out I will have a solution or at least I will be aware Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about UptimeRobot?

I enjoy their new interface which makes working with their tools much easier.

Getting started with UptimeRobot is quick and doesn't require complex steps for most setups. Implementing it is as easy as adding your domain and choosing how and what you want to monitor. Standard monitor is HTTP, but they also offer Ping, Keyword and Port for free. Cron/Heartbeat monitoring is available on Solo plan and may need a bit more of work to setup, but not super difficult either.

The free plan is very generous for small companies or hobbyists just getting started and they keep checking the URLs every 5 minutes and send you a notification via email and push (through their mobile app) when they detect changes on your uptime.

There's also a customizable Service Status page so you can display your uptime to clients (very useful if you're an agency selling website creation + hosting). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UptimeRobot?

I wish their free plan could show more historical data than just 30 days. You also can't comment on incidents unless you pay for a plan, but that is expected, they gotta make money some way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

UptimeRobot helps me keep tabs with my online services and servers, making sure they're always available. I manage almost 20 websites and it would be very difficult to check each and everyone for uptime manually. UptimeRobot makes this work a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
