Uptimerobot—useful in keeping me ahead of the game

Reviewed on 2024/11/12

Pros

It is very useful for me to in near real-time to manage the status of my websites. I have to manage about two dozen properties—not all that I own—so having a light footprint tool for this is great. It is great to know of (and fix) issues with my sites before my boss knows there is an issue.

Cons

While it is very fast in picking up changes, I would love something that was a bit faster.

I've been using Uptime Robot for nearly 10 years, and it has been an incredibly reliable tool for monitoring my websites and servers. The free tier is generous, allowing for multiple monitors with a 5-minute check interval, which is more than enough for most small to medium projects. The interface is simple and intuitive, and setting up new monitors takes just a few seconds.

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

Alternatives Considered

Ease of use, accommodating free tier and reliable services.

They broke it. Monitors are frequently not working, reporting state 30-40 minutes late, or not at all. I have 2 accounts and 1 account may report correctly while the second doesn't - it's just unusable. Support say: “this is normal” - or "our IP was blocked" (it wasn't and why did the other monitor work then?).

Right now, I have a monitor that should be up, but isn’t. Their solution? - Reset the stats and lose 3 years of history because it is "stucked in cache". Disgraceful.

No solution or refund from their team.

Pros

Used to work, but unfortunately no longer does.

Cons

The information cannot be relied upon unfortunately.

It does what they claim, so I can be confident I'll know when the server reboots and I need to turn it back on!

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.

Happy UptimeRobot client for many years!

Reviewed on 2025/02/17

Happy customer for many years! Highly recommend!

Happy customer for many years! Highly recommend!

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.

I have used Uptimerobot for over 6 years now and it is amazing. I manage multiple websites and it is the best and most user friendly uptime software that I have found on the market. I get alerts instantly when websites go down, so I can address the problem right away.

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.

The overall experience has been positive. While there are competitors out there, we’ve not considered using any as Uptimerobot does what we need it to do – provide insight into the uptime of our site.

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.

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

UptimeRobot is an effective, budget-friendly solution for basic uptime monitoring. While it may lack advanced analytics, it delivers where it matters most: reliability and ease of use. I’d recommend it for small to medium-sized websites or businesses that don’t require extensive diagnostics but need reliable uptime monitoring.

Pros

Very easyUptimeRobot offers a straightforward interface, making it easy to set up monitors for multiple websites in just a few minutes. I appreciated the flexibility of getting alerts through email, SMS, and other channels, which helped ensure I was always informed about any downtime. The dashboard is user-friendly, and I found it helpful to view historical uptime statistics and response times, which aided in tracking performance over time. Plus, the free plan is quite generous compared to similar services, offering enough features for basic monitoring needs. to set up and delivers as expected.

Cons

Limited Customization on Free Plan: The free plan doesn’t offer as much customization in terms of alert intervals or monitor frequency, so if you need something more frequent than 5 minutes, you’ll need to upgrade.
