Pros

“I was able to do a comparison of the different types of dotcom-monitor Web/URL monitors and was successful in determining that dotcom-monitor provides a more true result (less false errors) than our current tool for web sites which use Cloudflare.”

Shawn T.

Cloud Engineer

“Allows me to test out the product without collecting credit card information.”

Len C.

Manager

“For my business I wish they had web site testing from countries like Russia, but I expect that is unique to me.”

Len C.

Manager

Pros

“Notifications can be sent to the channels we want, which is really convenient.”

Peter E.

Tech Lead

“It's not only site-is-down monitor, it's also cron, sitemaps, performance, lighthouse reports, status pages, etc.”

Slava A.

Engineering Manager

“Everything works as expected: reliable alerts, flexible configuration and a clean status page”

Anthony M.

FullStack Developer

Cons

“I'd rather it select the default group or at least give you an error when you try to save it.”

Greg A.

Founder

“Some of the workflows were not automatable like dragging and movement of objects.”

Aisha K.

Platform Engineer

Cons

“Sometimes their app would have a hiccup, causing a false positive. But the most annoying thing is that a monitoring tool like this cannot monitor a domain expiration date.”

Rus C.

CTO

“Dashboard is sometimes very slow when searching for a website or performing an action; not always clear that the website is in a 'loading' state.”

Mark d.

CTO

“Being on a grandfathered plan, I can't upgrade to yearly payments to have less invoices to deal with :)”
