Uptimerobot

Pros: We have been using uptimerobot for some time now as a tool for us as a service owner. It has a allowed us to keep track not just for peace of mind, but also to meet our technology partner for immediate bug-fixing when required. As a non-profit we have kindly been given a sponsorship plan from uptimerobot to keep our services running as stable as possible.

Cons: For our use as a service owner, and not a technology company, we are happy to report that we have experiences very little to no issues using uptimerobot.

Pros: With the launch of the revised dashboard in 2024, it's been easier to manage monitors and see an overview of the status of all monitors. The reliability of the service has been incredible, compared to other monitoring providers I've tried.

Cons: They change their policies from time to time, more than other services I've used in the past; that being said, they do introduce new features that are useful.

Pros: For us it has helped us to resolve the time that some pages of our website and services can be offline.

Cons: So far, we haven't found anything worth commenting on in the technological aspect. The only thing we didn't like was when they removed functions from the status pages of free accounts.

Pros: Easy setup, Clean & Intuitive Interface and reliable! No advanced technical knowledge is required. Great Tool !

Cons: The dashboard can feel a bit basic, and some advanced analytics or customization options are limited unless you’re on a higher plan.

Pros: Works nicely in the background and alerts you when needed. Easy to setup and use software – That supports Non-Profits!

Cons: Just a static version of their Logo for your website in the Press kit – but not a real Con. Been using it for years and couldn´t find one.

Pros: Uptime is a great tool and an even better company. They make it easy to use and are supportive of non-profit organizations like ours. The monitoring is super simple to setup and works great.

Cons: Honestly there's nothing negative to say about them. They keep enhancing the product to make it better and we love them.

Pros: I use Uptime Robot to monitor multiple domains across our various projects, and the setup process couldn't be more straightforward. Each monitor takes literally seconds to configure, and the intuitive dashboard makes managing everything effortless. As a small team that needs reliable 24/7 monitoring, Uptimerobot has been invaluable. We get instant notifications via email, SMS, and push notifications the moment any issues arise, allowing us to respond quickly. The status page feature has been incredibly useful for communicating with our stakeholders and customers. It provides real-time updates automatically and gives everyone visibility into our service status without overwhelming our support team with inquiries. They recently added DNS monitoring capabilities, which is a fantastic addition.

Cons: While the free plan offers a generous 50 monitors, the 5-minute check interval is limiting. For more frequent monitoring (like 1-minute checks), you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Pros: UptimeRobot is incredibly easy to set up and provides reliable, real-time alerts for downtime. The dashboard is clean, intuitive, and gives exactly the insights we need without being overwhelming.

Cons: The free plan is limited in monitoring intervals and notifications — though understandable, it would be great to have more flexibility without upgrading.

Pros: We love the ability to quickly check multiple systems before key events we run to ensure they are running. We love that the interface is simple and easy to understand at a glance. The push notifications on the mobile apps are a great way to cut through the noise and busyness of email alerts. Their plans and pricing are all very reasonable with a great freemium option too.

Cons: We wish we could group alerts together or re-order them under folders or headings. I also wish you could log into more than one account at the same time in the mobile app. I have a primary day job where we use it as a organization, but I also use it for my personal side hustle, and I lose the ability to use the mobile app for both simultaneously.

Pros: Very reliable service with great incident reporting and tracking. Nice and easy to set up, including to monitor other status pages (which other services some times seem to struggle with). Even the free plan feature set is quite generous and the updated interface is great too!

Cons: It would be great to be able to group services on a status page with the group status based off individual service statuses.

Pros: I like the pricing, it's really competitive compared to the market leaders and the solution has worked well for me.

Cons: I could do with having some more SMS credits, I ran through them pretty quickly and I feel that the solution could give you some more.

Pros: Easy to set up and manage to monitoring internal or esternal services and being notified for any issue

Cons: IN the free version you can only notify event but it's ok for our needs.

Pros: - Extremely reliable. - Free tier is very accommodating with 50 monitors and 5-minute intervals - Easy to set up and manage with an intuitive dashboard - Supports multiple alert methods, including email, SMS, and other integrations - Affordable paid plans for those needing advanced features like 1-minute checks and SSL monitoring

Cons: - Limited historical data in the free tier (logs are only stored for 3 months) - SMS alerts can be costly compared to competitors

Pros: I love how setting up new monitors is a piece of cake. You just plug in your website URL, and boom, you’re good to go. The interface is super straightforward, even for a non-tech wizard. Our charity website along with its sister websites have been using uptimerobot for years and the alerts have always been spot-on. They are providing a great and very necessary service

Cons: I really don't have anything negative to say about them. They provide the exact service I am looking for at an incredibly low price

Pros: My company is an IT provider for several small and medium sized businesses. 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. Being proactive for our clients is priceless and we have been happy UptimeRobot clients for YEARS! Their emails are so simple to read and reliable (especially when it's 0300 and we get a server down alert). It's great to have this as a tool for our business so we can deliver the best service for our clients. Highly recommended!

Cons: No cons, really. Takes a tech savvy person to configure Windows server down and server up alerts, but reliable when it is done and tested. Would rather it this way vs running a software on servers, so since we create the scripting, we know what it's doing.

Pros: Their attention to NGOs in developing areas, and not ignoring their requests.

Cons: nothing, quite the other way around. extremely handy with free tiers for NGOs

Pros: We've been using UptimeRobot to monitor our non-profit’s website, and it has been an invaluable tool. As a small team with limited resources, we rely on our website to stay accessible to donors and the community. UptimeRobot ensures we are instantly alerted to any downtime, allowing us to act quickly and minimize disruptions.

Cons: 5 minute intervals. Would have loved shorter monitoring windows but we love what's offered.

Pros: I set it and forget it. Until it emails me that we've had an outage. That kind of peace of mind is worth the price of admission.

Cons: I have no cons about the service at all.

Pros: UptimeRobot was extremely easy to setup and get running quickly.

Cons: There was really nothing not to like about the services. Low drama and easy to use.

Pros: The ease of setting up a basic monitor. It was pretty easy and suited our purposes for a small but growing site.

Cons: From time to time we may get timeout notifications. When these are momentary and you’re on the basic (free) 5 minute cycle, it’s a bit difficult to troubleshoot . We’re in the process of upgrading our package and should get a lot more granularity.

Pros: Simple / Clean user interface. Easy to set up new alerts.

Cons: Occasionally get false positives to say our site is down.

Pros: -User-friendly -Great price compared to others -Great mobile app

Cons: They only have a plan for 50 monitors and 100 monitors. It would be nice to have an option in between.
