"Beautiful and comprehensive monitoring system"
5/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

It covers every monitoring need, including SSL Certificates, cron jobs, and more. It's also beautifully designed, the UI is very polished, and easy to use. The free plan gives you plenty to try it out, and upgrade when you're ready to use it's full potential. The dashboard gives a great overview of all monitors, and the status page is a great public view, both with integrated incident reporting and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonSpark?

The pricing is good for what you get, but more expensive than other services, so bulk monitoring customer sites can be very expensive, as anything over 100 monitors needs Enterprise pricing. Especially when 1 website can have 3-5 different types of monitors, so that could be as little as 30-40 websites. I think a good bulk monitor plan would be ideal, or make the plans based on websites not monitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete site health monitoring suite"
4.5/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

MonSpark is one of the best website uptime monitoring tools I've used in a while (in fact, it's a lot more than that, but more on that later). I have been looking for one recently, and I consider myself lucky enough to spot this one.

1. It's extremely easy to use. Even if you're a beginner, you'd not need more than a few minutes to set up your first monitor.

2. The UI is great. Although beginners might feel a little overwhelmed, that's only because of the vast feature list. Otherwise, you have everything you need right at your fingertip.

3. Speaking of the number of features, I was pleasantly surprised with all the things MonSpark can help you monitor. You have uptime monitoring, SSL expiry monitoring, screenshot monitoring, lighthouse audits, and much more.

4. The status pages are beautiful and highly customizable. So you can easily make them seamlessly blend with your brand.

5. There are a number of handy integrations available to send notifications to Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, send them via SMS or a phone call and even a Zapier integration to integrate MonSpark with other third-party apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonSpark?

There's absolutely nothing I dislike about MonSpark. However, I hope they build a wide network of checkpoints for uptime monitoring. And if I have to be picky, I wish they had a light mode as well (right now, they only seem to have a Dark mode). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Monspark is the ultimate toolkit"
3/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

Monspark provides the insights and data needed for any project on technical site. The most (wouldn't say everything, because the missing of full white label) is customizable, making it easy to tailor the solution of a status page to my specific business needs.

"Great monitoring startup with strong features and a good roadmap, but with some caveats"
4/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

MonSpark is a great monitoring tool. An impressive amount of checks are very helpful, and a nice free tier to get started with. It offers 1 min intervals on uptime checks and integration with SMS, email, Teams, etc. makes sure you can get your notifications. It offers 2 factor auth and the creation of teams if you have multiple people working on your uptime. I like that there are added features like SEO checks, DNS checks, traceroute, SSL expiration, etc. that really help in making sure my infra work is focused on immediate issues as well a proactive notifications (like when an SSL cert is going to expire vs after it already has). I'm really looking forward to a number of their roadmap items like URL checking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonSpark?

Some things to be aware of with MonSpark is that it is a startup and as such has some limitations from some of the more established players. In particular they currently only run their checks from Europe. There is a selection area where you can pick a recgion to check from but the only option (as of the writing of this review) is Europe. If you only have one site where you serve content, that's probably fine, if you are running a multinational business where you have servers serving customers in multiple Geos then this can create a blindspot to other regions availability. Likewise the ability to monitor for changes in a website (content, used technology, etc.) is great but the geo restriction means if you want to do something like monitor the prices on a webpage (say of a competitor) you are only monitoring what they show in the EU (prices in Euros and many times companies change prices in different regions differently depending on competition, regulation and demand).

Additionally, There are a number of "Beta" features which look very promising (I'm really looking forward to them) but "beta" actually means "coming soon" so you can't actually Beta those features. I'm used to beta meaning that it's not production ready and can have bugs in it, not that it's not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Monspark works!"
4/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

I really enjoy using MonSpark because it's like having a smart friend that watches over your website all the time. It’s super easy to start using it; just type in your website's address and it begins to watch over it right away. If something goes wrong, like your website stops working or something isn’t safe, MonSpark quickly sends you a message.

I don't really use it much other than when I get an alert. It is pretty hands off.

Easy ti implement & integrate also.

The support is decent but nothing to gush over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonSpark?

MonSpark has so many tools and options that it can be a bit too much to handle sometimes, especially if you’re not used to this kind of thing.

The support is decent but not amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Monitoring Tool with a Wide Feature Set"
4/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

MonSpark lets us get most of our monitors in to one location and consolidate a number web monitoring tools in to one place.

The alerting and escalation policies are great and let us taylor alerts to IT vs Marketing, etc.

The configuration is very straight forward and the default settings make a lot of sense - we rarely need to tweak them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonSpark?

It doesn't quite cover everything - for instance TLS monitoring doesn't cover MTA-TLS, etc., so whilst we've consolidated a lot it's just not there to cover everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does everything I need it to do"
5/5
What do you like best about MonSpark?

The UI is really great. So many of these tools are overwhelming to use and hard to navigate. I get everything I need quickly and easily and enjoy using the software. I really like how easy it is to turn on and off email alerts. Some of the alerts I want to log but don't need to be notified about every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MonSpark?

There are some limitations on my account and some disabled features, but that's my own fault for not upgrading to another tier. There's nothing about the software that puts me off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
