Owner

“Setup was simple and the alerts were useful.”

Jamie W.

Head of Engineering

Pros

“We've never had any issues with their service, though very infrequently we see noise in the alerts that appear to be networking issues on UptimeRobot's side rather than our services.”

Matt C.

Open-source maintainer

“Quickly set up monitors for my websites, default notification settings, turn on and forget.”

Lukas C.

Web developer

“We have a separate commercial RMM tool to monitor up and downtime for client sites and servers, but honestly, we also happily subscribe to UptimeRobot for down and up alerts.”

Dan M.

IT Director

Cons

“Pingdom gets expensive quick if you monitor microservices.”

Christopher P.

CISO

“Even this tool is so hard, they show a lot of obstacles that often does not work as a reason for the website slow loading.”

Torikul I.

“My overall experience is average, I don't feel comfortable using this tool. But yes, sometimes clients ask me to improve the website performance with a special focus on the Pingdom testing tool.”
