Overall Satisfaction with Uptime Cloud Monitor

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a DevOps group manager, I have a team of SRE engineers who are in charge of maintaining the stability and integrity of all our infra. Since we are a medical company we need to have Dev and Stage systems with almost 100% availability, the same as Production and for Production, we need to maintain 100% strict. We are using Uptime Cloud Monitor as the first line of defense to ensure that all our Cloud Infra is up and running and serving external and internal customer needs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Very simple and easy dashboard
Configurable dashboard
Very good statistics reports

Cons

The tools is not very cheap

Most Important Features

Dashboards
Metrics

Return on Investment

Since availability is increased significantly, we are in much better relations with our customers now

Alternatives Considered

Catchpoint, Splunk Cloud and New Relic

First of all, the most important difference for me is the ease of use, and ease of creating dashboards and metrics. The cloud monitor allowed us to migrate from our in-house system to a cloud-based system. It is not cheap, but compared to alternatives it is not that expensive.

Likelihood to Recommend

From my experience, production availability support is the best scenario. My SREs are working very closely with our NOC team, which is monitoring dashboards and using them to find issues and resolve them very quickly. We also can alert based on the metrics which is very useful to be aware of the issues in real-time.
