Chose Freshping (discontinued)
We use Uptime Robot, and also some internal health checks, which report directly to our emails and chat applications. They all work "pretty fine," but unfortunately all of them have had some false positives or missed some minor downtime, so as for us, it doesn't add too much …

Freshping is suitable for anyone looking for a service to monitor the status of applications without much trouble and effort on it. The free tier will sure be enough for a lot of users. I wouldn't recommend this if you need very customized checks to define being up or down of course, or a very custom status page.

It's perfectly easy and straightforward to use. There's no need to read documentation, you just register and will surely be able to configure whatever monitor you want to set up. It's also very easy to use other features like the status page, reporting, alerts, etc.

To date we have had no need of support from Freshping, it has just been that easy to use. It is highly intuitive and self-explanatory.

We did not choose Freshping over these, we selected it as an additional tool in our toolset. It is important to have multiple angles of monitoring, and FreshPing was a natural addition because of its integration with our existing trouble ticketing solution and it being completely free to use. Compared to PRTG, it is much easier to create a systems status/uptime page for the end users to view.
