"Great logging experience"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The interface is great! Super easy to filter data, set things up, get to the problem, go to the end of the tail, etc. I find it very intuitive and easy to use.

The ability to click on elements within the actual log and then build filters from that is very very handy. Makes it super easy to explore possible patterns and hunches without having to make a huge investment in setting up filters.

Configuring sources was ridiculously easy. Probably because I was "cheating" and went through the vercel integration😄 but it was a few clicks and boom, logs-a-flowing.

Much easier than any other logging solution i've worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

I can't really think of anything I "dislike". I wish there was a bit less latency, but that is a networking issue AND it's faster than other solutions I've tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great one-stop replacement for at least 3 tools in your stack"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

It binds together things that are logically aligned but seldomly found in a single tool. You can do monitoring and incident management in the same place in a very, very integrated fashion. You can alot schedules for oncall rotations and you can do so in sharable calendars.

As for the log/metrics part of betterstack I've only yet tried the free tier but I'm quite comfortable in saying that it's better than cloudwatch and at least on the standarts of something like elastic/opensearch or datadog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The integrations are sometimes a bit lacking (calendars, SSO, etc) in variety. Some integrations are a bit finicky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Affordable Monitoring for Agency Infrastructure"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Better Stack has been a game-changer for monitoring our client's websites and our agency's infrastructure. Compared to other platforms like Atlassian, Better Stack offers a more affordable solution without compromising on reliability and performance. The various pricing plans available make it an excellent choice for agencies of all sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The initial setup can be a bit complex for newcomers who are not familiar with the intricacies of monitoring and logging systems. (Cron and heartbeat monitor) However, these are minor issues in comparison to the overall benefits and performance of Better Stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to setup"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

Got it running for 3 of our applications in about an hour. The status page option is great. You can also add your own domain if you like. The application is very intuitive to use, you will not need help and support for basic stuff. There are tons of options to configure if you need it. The free plan is generous.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

Right now there is nothing that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use but powerful uptime options"
What do you like best about Better Stack?

The user interface is clean and easy to use. I appreciate how I receive app notifications on my phone and can easily acknowledge them online. In addition to monitoring uptime, I can get specific by monitoring HTTP status codes and even keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Better Stack?

The handover from a mobile app notification to online acknowledgement was a bit different from what I was used to, but it's straightforward, and I'm totally happy with it now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
