MK Manish K. Project Lead Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/7/2026 "A Practical Tool for Real-Time Monitoring" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkly? What I like most about Checkly is how simple and dependable it feels. It doesn’t overcomplicate anything—you can set up checks quickly and genuinely trust the alerts when they come in. Since I’m managing multiple operations, I really value how much time it saves and how it cuts down on manual follow-ups. The interface is clean and straightforward, and it works well without much of a learning curve, which is a big plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkly? Sometimes it feels a bit too technical, especially for non-developers. Setting up advanced checks or fully understanding some of the terminology can take time. Pricing can also feel a little high for smaller teams, and having more ready-made templates or locally relevant use-case examples would make it easier to get started quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkly solving and how is that benefiting you? Checkly helps me make sure critical workflows and systems keep running without issues. Before, we either had to manually check things or only react after something broke. Now we receive real-time alerts, so we can spot and fix problems early—before they affect users or operations. It saves time, reduces stress, and gives me confidence that everything is running smoothly in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Test Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/5/2025 ""Checkly: Test Smarter, Monitor Better"" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkly? What I like best about Checkly is its "monitoring-as-code" approach, which fits perfectly into modern CI/CD workflows. The ability to write API and browser checks in JavaScript/TypeScript using Playwright, commit them to Git, and run them globally is a game-changer. It feels like an extension of your development process—not a separate tool you have to babysit. The integration with Playwright is especially powerful—it allows for deep browser-based testing with rich artifacts like screenshots, traces, and console logs. Checkly also makes alerting simple and flexible with Slack, email, and webhook support, so you always know when something breaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkly? While Checkly is powerful, there are a few areas where it could improve. The pricing tiers can feel a bit rigid—especially for growing teams that fall between the limits of Starter and Team plans. More flexible or usage-based billing would be helpful. Also, while the Playwright integration is great, the learning curve can be steep for teams new to writing tests in code. Some advanced features could use more in-depth documentation or examples. Lastly, data residency options are limited. For teams with strict compliance needs (especially in the EU), having more control over where monitoring data is stored would be a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkly solving and how is that benefiting you? The result is faster issue detection, better visibility into production performance, and higher confidence in deploymentsall with less manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QA Especialista | Plataforma QA Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/10/2024 "The best experience with Synthetic Testing on the market!" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkly? Checkly is extremely versatile and comprehensive, allowing the quality team to actively support Shift Right Testing through automated scripts being executed recurrently. A modern tool for API monitoring and front-end testing that combines the best of both worlds: test automation with Playwright and continuous API monitoring. It allows testing applications easily and efficiently, with quick alerts via Slack, email, Opsgenie, and more. With test execution from different global regions, it is perfect for ensuring everything works well for users anywhere. The direct integration with CI/CD pipelines and an intuitive interface make Checkly a practical choice for development teams that value stability and performance. Now we can post-deploy in production to have an execution ensuring feature availability, our best experience is coding and managing automated web tests with Playwright. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkly? I would like an integration with Gitlab as a code repository, even though we have code snippets, in some cases this approach is not possible, thus generating code duplication. Looking for something through the page object model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkly solving and how is that benefiting you? Availability of features. Here at frete.com, we use it to test micro journeys, thus ensuring that third parties (marketing) or even deployments from our team do not impact the final experience.

Software Product Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/19/2024 "Developer friendly and forward looking monitoring" 5/5 What do you like best about Checkly? Rock solid, developer friendliness and forward looking product developent, especially the advances in "monitoring as code" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkly?

Monitoring of our web sites and end-to-end functionality in production environment, running on fully independent infrastructure.

I like that Playwright is very easy to understand and that I can build and deploy checks in code and deploy via our pipelines. Gives a great audit trail for all changes and allows easy rollbacks if we mess up a test. it didn't take us long to deploy and start working from code as well The UI for the most part is sleek and allowing filtering on tags allows us to organise our tests accordingly. Customer support has been great so far, we have used slack for most of our communication with them but will occassionally have service calls with them. Checkly is used daily within my team and we've even adopted using the synthetic monitoring to power our Statuspage via PagerDuty. Checkly are very open to feedback we've found so far especially around suggesting new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Checkly? Some elements of the UI could see some improvement, specifically for me around clicking into errors. I would also prefer it if we could see a video of the last successful test run before a failure for additional context. We have raised this and I believe it is being worked on. My other biggest gripe is reporting, however this scenario is likely limited to how we as a team operate. Currently we can only get 4 hours worth of reporting though we have some custom scripts that allow us to pull 24h worth of data for our morning report as we like to discuss test failures in our daily morning meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Checkly solving and how is that benefiting you? Synthetic monitoring to simulate user journies on our website as well as checking our APIs are up and running, as well as recently powering our statuspage to report any downtime in our API suite. It is one tool in our plethora of monitoring we use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
