Overall Satisfaction with StatusPage for HipChat
StatusPage is used by our organization to send internal notifications on degradation or interruption in services. We can update the status of services, components of those services, or entire brands, along with a detailed message of the current status. That event will then be updated at regular intervals, and updates are streamed to subscribers through email, text, or chat channels.
Pros
- Real-time updates on service status and possible impairment
- Flexibility to customize notifications
- Flexibility to customize services, or parts of services which may be impaired
Cons
- StatusPage is nice because it keeps a rolling update on the previous statuses, but when it displays in Hipchat it just shows the last update.
- StatusPage does not have a specific measurable ROI. We use StatusPage as an ad-hoc notification tool.
I would say StatusPage on its own is a great service. StatusPage for Hipchat can only be used with that specific chat client. But on its own StatusPage can be integrated with many tools, like Slack, email notifications, text notifications, etc.
I don't know of a tool that compares with StatusPage. You could essentially host your own status site with Greed Yellow or Red statuses, but you would be missing out on the robustness of a tool that keeps historical data, uptime, and segregates services based on components.
