Overall Satisfaction with Freshping
Freshping is being used by our technology team to monitor our web applications' online status. Actually, it's one of a couple of tools we are using with the same objective because we have had not-so-reliable information from all of the different tools. So, as they do not add much overhead, we just prefer to have our apps monitored by different services at the same time.
- 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.
- 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).
- It's allowed us to respond fast to problems of the availability of our product.
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 overhead, and we prefer to use several. I would say all the ones mentioned are good for the job.
