Better Stack Reviews & Product Details

I like how intuitive the platform is, as well as the feature set it offers. The live log feature built in is great for us as we use it to feed custom error logging in to from our web application stacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if there were more integrations for the system in terms of what it can monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Better Stack is how easy it is to use. The intuitive backend requires no complicated configuration, making it truly a "fire and forget" solution. It offers great value for startups with pricing that scales as your company grows. The status page is not only functional but also visually appealing. I also appreciate how it has evolved from being just a monitoring tool to now also supporting log management, which adds even more value. I'm using it since the very early beginning and it has become my first choice for monitoring my web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I dislike about Better Stack is that the free tier pauses all active monitors if you don't log in to the backend for a certain period (30 days as far as I remember). While it does provide warnings a few days beforehand, it can be inconvenient if you miss those notifications or are away for an extended period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how you can modify the UI a lot, and how easy it is to use. Also, I think it's a really good service, especially considering it's free. It offers numerous free options that other services don't, and their UI is remarkably sleek. Additionally, the ability to set up your own CNAME adds to the overall versatility and customization options, making the experience even more organic and tailored to individual needs.

To be honest, what I dislike is the requirement to provide a phone number for signup. I feel like email should suffice, and a phone number should only be necessary if you choose to use it. It would be better if I could simply provide a valid email without needing to include a phone number. That's my only complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

this is just life saving in case some downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i'd say it requires your mobile number, nothing else besides that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is easy to understand with robust features such as creating custom alerts, heartbeats and integrates with many popular tools. Although there are many uptime monitor apps to choose from, Better Stack is the top tier app, whether you need reliable metrics or more in depth alerts and monitoring capabilities.

I would love to see more guided onboarding tutorials for new users. A make.com integration for automation would be great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very good monitoring service at great price points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess it could have more specific vendor level checks, but you can figure something out to monitor almost anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free plan of Better Stack is a great value and includes a lot of features that their competitors only includes in their paid plans. The platform is really easy to use and the integrations are great. I love the fact that you can connect your custom domain even on the free tier. Great to track my self-hosted apps.

I don't have any downsides to about Better Stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really easy to set up Better Stack Logs within my JavaScript/TypeScript/Java projects using React/Next.js and React/Spring Boot either for the frontend and backend. The documentation really helps even for junior developers and trainees.

The frontend of Better Stack is well organized and fun to work with. It is easy to find and analyze logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to reset a source token. When a token is leaked, I have to delete the source (and all logs) and create a new source.

A few weeks ago, the platform's frontend was very slow to respond for a few hours and I contacted support. The next day, everything was working as expected again and support made sure I didn't have any more problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Better Stack for the simple stuff, such as being notified when my websites go down. I'm a solo developer, so I don't have a time of people that have to be notified. It's just me, which means I need to know when a site goes down, and why, so that I can look into it and get the site back up. I bought Better Stack because I was tired of finding out that a site went down from my customers who notified me on social media. Now I can find out before them, look into the cause, and fix it.

I just started using the logs features, now that I have upgraded to my own VPS. I'm glad that Better Stack already has such robust features. It was easy to set up. Within a few minutes I can already see that people are trying to log-in to my server with my root ID and random passwords. Now I'm curious what I can do to prevent this. So I'm glad that Better Stack is showing me how to improve my security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have anything to complain about. It does exactly what I paid for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
