Its interface is modern, easy to use, and pleasant on a daily basis. I appreciate the ability to quickly set up monitors, receive multi-channel alerts (Slack, SMS, email, call), and share professional status pages with clients. The provided diagnostics (screenshots, traceroute, cron job monitoring) really facilitate incident resolution. The free plan is generous and allows for a good start, which is perfect for small teams or personal projects. Customer support is quick and responsive, which inspires confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Better Stack? The only downside: the cost can quickly rise if you have many monitors or need advanced integrations. Additionally, some customization features (for example, on status pages) remain limited in the entry-level plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you? It alerts us immediately in case of a site, API, or server outage, allowing us to act before users are impacted. The platform centralizes everything – uptime monitoring, alerts, incident management, and status pages – which greatly simplifies our workflow. Detailed diagnostics (screenshots, logs, traceroute) save us valuable time in identifying the cause of an incident. The benefits for us: Less downtime, better responsiveness thanks to multichannel alerts, and transparent communication with our clients, which improves their trust and satisfaction.

Lead Developer in Open Source Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/29/2025 "Best in Class for Open Source Projects" 5/5 What do you like best about Better Stack? I’ve been thoroughly impressed with Better Stack after using it for just a month, and to say I'm a super fan is just an understatement. Having worked with several logging and monitoring platforms like Papertrail, Loggly, Splunk, and SonarQube, I can confidently say that Better Stack stands out in a league of its own for my project needs. Its combination of speed, ease of use, robust feature set, and probably the best looking interface you'll ever get to work with makes it an exceptional choice. The project setup is second to none. When onboarding with other logging services, I find myself sometimes wondering when logs will show up, or if the environment was set up correctly, but Better Stack leaves out all of that guess work with lightning fast logs and a setup specially tailored for every common tech stack. The free status page you get for your app is just the cherry on top. The entire experience is so polished, you can even autofill your own config straight into the docs you're reading. Countless blog articles for best practices and recommendations are there for supplemental knowledge and have helped me achieve the best setup I could ever ask for. This might feel less like a review and more like a love letter to the team, but I am so excited that my search for the perfect logging service for my needs is over and I will be including this in every project I start from here. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Better Stack? The initial paid tier out the gate starts at $29 which is very steep for the small open source services I run. I would love to see some grace for public repos of some sort, or a lower tier around $14. Currently, it is hard to justify for non-commercial and hobbyist projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you? Better Stack offers the most approachable way of integrating logging, monitoring, and alerts with their incredibly easy to use interface and comprehensive setup guides.

CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/13/2025 "A clean, powerful monitoring tool perfect for startups" 5/5 What do you like best about Better Stack? Better Stack stands out with its beautiful and intuitive UI/UX — it’s one of the cleanest interfaces I’ve used in a monitoring platform. It’s also extremely beginner-friendly, making it easy to get started without digging through complex docs. I really appreciate that they offer a generous free tier, which is perfect for small projects or early-stage startups. Their uptime monitoring is reliable and straightforward, and I was able to integrate it with minimal setup. The fact that you can quickly plug it into a Symfony project using webhooks or alerting integrations is a bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Better Stack? There’s not much to dislike, but I’d love to see even more native SDKs or Symfony-specific integrations to speed up setup even further. Also, some of the more advanced features are understandably behind the paid tier, which can be limiting once your project grows — but that’s fair for a product this well-built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you? Better Stack solves the challenge of monitoring and visibility for small projects and startups that can’t afford expensive infrastructure tools early on. It gives me real-time alerts and uptime monitoring out of the box, which helps me catch issues before my users do. I don’t have to spend hours setting up Prometheus or Grafana — it just works, and it looks great. This saves me time, helps me stay focused on development, and gives me peace of mind that my services are running as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Chief Operations Officer DEQUA Studio | Formerly CTO in MarTech Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/4/2025 "Observability and Incident Management platform" 5/5 What do you like best about Better Stack? The integration of what were formerly known as Better Uptime and Logtail into the Uptime and Logs modules under a single platform streamlines workflows and reduces tool sprawl. Here are the technical aspects that I find particularly effective: effective: • Incident Management • Slack-based incident management enables direct collaboration and templated workflows within Slack, supporting rapid response and reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR). • AI-driven incident silencing leverages customizable machine learning models to filter out noise, ensuring only actionable alerts reach the team. • Smart incident merging consolidates simultaneous incidents, minimizing alert fatigue and streamlining the acknowledgment process. • Automated AI post-mortems synthesize incident timelines and outcomes, reducing manual effort in documentation and supporting continuous improvement. • Uptime and Infrastructure Monitoring • Fast HTTP(s) checks (up to every 30 seconds) from multiple global regions, with support for ping and heartbeat monitoring, provide high-frequency, reliable uptime data. • Playwright-based transaction monitoring executes real browser tests with a JavaScript runtime, offering deep synthetic monitoring for complex user flows. • Error incident alerts include screenshots and second-by-second event timelines, which facilitate rapid root cause analysis and debugging. • Traceroute and MTR outputs for timeouts enhance network diagnostics from the edge, providing actionable insights for connectivity issues. • Alerting and On-Call Management • Multi-channel incident alerts (push, SMS, phone, email, Slack, Teams) ensure critical events are never missed, with single-click acknowledgment for efficient communication. • On-call scheduling integrates directly with calendar apps like Google Calendar and Outlook, supporting flexible rotations and escalation policies. • Smart escalation logic can notify backup responders or the entire team if the primary on-call engineer is unavailable, reducing the risk of missed incidents. • Log Management and Analytics • The Logs module (formerly Logtail) transforms logs into structured data, enabling SQL-like querying and visualization across the entire stack. • Integration with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform providers) and support for popular logging libraries (Serilog, NLog) facilitate seamless adoption in modern DevOps pipelines. • Reporting and analytics features include advanced KPI tracking (MTTA, MTTR), incident cause synthesis, SLA/SLI indicators, and CSV export for further analysis. • Security and Compliance • Enterprise-grade security features such as SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO, 2FA, SCIM provisioning, and role-based access control are available. • Data residency options and custom VPC deployments support organizations with strict compliance requirements. • GDPR compliance and team-level isolation are built in, addressing privacy and regulatory needs. • User Experience and Integrations • The user interface is consistently described as intuitive and visually appealing, reducing onboarding friction and making complex workflows accessible. • Extensive integrations with collaboration tools (Slack, Teams), calendar systems, and cloud providers enhance interoperability within existing environments. • Public status pages can be configured to share uptime and incident data transparently with stakeholders or customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Better Stack? The pricing, while competitive for the feature set, may be a barrier for smaller teams or startups, especially when scaling up monitors, log retention, or requiring enterprise features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Better Stack solving and how is that benefiting you? The integration of log management with incident timelines and screenshots provided a holistic view of outages and errors, streamlining root cause analysis and post-incident reviews. Automated AI post-mortems and detailed reporting features supported a culture of continuous improvement by making it easy to learn from every incident. Security and compliance features such as SSO, SOC 2, and GDPR alignment gave us confidence in meeting organizational and regulatory standards, while the customizable public status pages improved transparency with stakeholders. In summary, Better Stack delivered a unified, reliable, and extensible observability solution that improved incident response efficiency, reduced operational friction, and supported the growth and reliability of our digital services.
