Excellent and easy to use!

Pros

  • The UI is neat. It's very easy to use, and with lots of information.
  • It's very easy to set up.
  • The "badge" feature is interesting for showing up on institutional website.

Cons

  • We have had some false positives, although it is not the only service which had this issue. They are not frequent, but they do happen.
  • The status page would be useful to be able to configure different languages (e.g.: Spanish).

Return on Investment

  • It's allowed us to respond fast to problems of the availability of our product.
