"One of the best monitoring tool i have found !"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I searched a lot of monitoring tools and signed up for a few of them, then came across Better Uptime, loved the services. Deleted all other accounts and decided to stick with Better Uptime for all my monitoring activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

None at the moment. Everything is amazing and I am happy about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Logtail is terrific"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The ease of advanced SQL usage is fantastic, and integrations with basically any language and platform make logging a total breeze. The Grafana tie-in is great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Honestly I can't think of that much. Mostly the software still seems young and there are bugs that pop here and there and cause a 400/500 error. For example, creating alerts with duplicate names and then attempting to delete one has caused some requests to error out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exactly What I Was Looking For"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The focus and depth of the product. Unlike other companies where logging is only a small part of the offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

It's new software. I had one minor issue, but their support had it fixed within an hour! I wish there was a Winston client, but I may just write one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best experience for a monitoring site"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The way each area you want to use walks you through step by step with ease is amazing. The ability to integrate with other applications is great. I have used many monitoring sites over the years and definitely plan on using this forever. I would definitely recommend this to individuals and will be pushing my boss to look at this site.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

There is nothing about Better Uptime that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Monitoring service in 2022!"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

I love Better Uptime's design and ease of use. And when the site crashes, I think it's an excellent feature that they reach you by e-mail, sms or calling. 10/10! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

There isn't a feature I don't like, but the live chat (support team) is slow to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super simple setup. Instant value."
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Ridiculously simple to set up. I'm using Vercel for my web app, so I pretty much just clicked "add integration" on the site, and boom everything was setup. Instant value in <10 minutes. Wanted a straightforward log drain, and that's exactly what I got. Filtered for 500 error codes and was able to use that info to remove the five most common errors on the app same day I signed up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

There doesn't seem to be any way to filter logs at the ingest side (at least with Vercel). Vercel logs pretty much every single API request, so I end up with way more logs than I need. Still, my app makes a couple million requests / month, and it's still not even close to hitting the 30GB limit for the first price tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Website Monitor"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It has a free plan to use and it's enough for small business. I can monitor 10 websites with 3 region and also I can create a status page with using my subdomain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The Freelancer plan's price is too high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Fair Free Tier. Extensive functionality and flexibility. Beautiful UI.

Smooth and reliable experience so far. Excellent status tool - probably the best one overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

UX could be more intuitive in a few areas (active components drop was surprising, could be automatic or pre-activated). A very minor inconvenience, though, and easily fixable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely robust tool that offers great information to take control during a stressful time"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

We adore this platform and are planning to upgrade it to a paid plan in the not too distant future. It alerts me when I need to jump into action and take control of an error and it saved our bacon once already with a memory leak causing a timeout. For that it's worth its weight in gold. Nice simple platform with great status pages and escalation policies. Worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

It'd be super cool if there were some features that could plugin to apps to check the health of them maybe, For example, we run a Laravel fleet of apps, and it'd be super cool to monitor the health of our database models, views etc via a composer plugin to prevent issues before they even happen, But this is a wish more than a game-changer, we do love it!
