Oh Dear Reviews & Product Details

Simplicity and extremely good value for money. I host all my status pages with OhDear, and they go to great lengths to keep those pages online and active, even during world-wide outages in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, I can’t think of anything I dislike about Oh Dear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Uptime alerts and broken-link notifications are sent directly to Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Global notifications don’t let me filter out specific events before they’re sent to my Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple app that does both status pages and monitors my app for me so that can track changes or any downtime my customers would experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm in North Carolina and the app isn't the speediest I've ever used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a great service overall. Its biggest strength is how simple it is to use, configure and get started with. It also includes all the monitoring you need for a website in one place. Notifications can be sent to the channels we want, which is really convenient. It’s also very cheap for what you get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more settings for certain things. I also don’t like how you get spammed every hour with notifications about things that aren’t critical. And when you snooze from Slack, it snoozes everything, so you might miss something more important that happens during your snooze time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate using Oh Dear for monitoring all of our frontend and backend applications, finding a lot of value in what's offered. I like the instant notifications I get when there's an issue with any health monitor. Oh Dear helps maintain visibility into DNS health, site speed, response latency, page speed insights for UI applications, and server-side component checks such as databases and caches. The system is super easy to get started with, allowing nearly infinite customization with code-first approaches and unique transport methods. The ease of setup is a big advantage since it works reliably over long periods without much intervention. Additionally, it's very easy to customize monitors for a proficient team.

They really lack the ability to monitor all valid TLDs, including our primary domain in some respects, which is a major bummer, but we're able to stop-gap that with other tools. Supporting all TLD domains, even the ones that don't use RDAP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

limited automations which could be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Oh Dear makes it easy to set up with just a few steps like adding the site URL and enabling notifications. I appreciate the score-based reports that guide improvements and the helpful suggestions to resolve issues. The historical performance and downtime reports are incredibly useful for tracking site reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of now, seems to work as per expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The detail and accuracy of the performance reports are fantastic. It's the perfect bridge app between our platform devs and other team members that might not have the same access to troubleshoot or might be slightly less technical and need an easy tool to show where any issues might be.

I use it during deployments to monitor the change in performance and analyse any trends in performance lag.

Uptime reporting allows me to review even the small outages that might not have been spotted, and again monitor for trends.

Webhook alerts is mega useful, we have a few of these tailor set-up and pinging into Teams channels to get the right attention.

I also use the lighthouse reporting tools, it's good to have an alternative to Google's lighthouse reports, plus you get a full history of the reports to monitor the performance over time, which you don't get with Google.

I really like the ease of user management and the simplicity of cost, so we're not worrying about adding more users whenever I need someone to log in and check something for us.

OhDear is user-friendly, easy to set-up and onboard users, it presents technical details in a way that allows non-techies to understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No 'dislikes' but some opportunities...

I'd like a feature to export all lighthouse metrics into an Excel/csv so I can track performance over time (only a small thing, but I currently do this manually). Even better, auto-update a Google sheet.

Auto-generated performance analysis. If we have a drop in performance, I'll tend to review all the date/time options to identify any trends in performance drop to help identify any anomalies and potential causes. It's be great to have a way to do this better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oh Dear is one of those set-and-forget tools that you configure once, and then you hope to not be notified by them. Super reliable, love all those various checks that I can set up for my domains. It's not only site-is-down monitor, it's also cron, sitemaps, performance, lighthouse reports, status pages, etc. I love that I can give access to others as well, good for reports. Their support is also great, there were several occasions when I reported some bugs and they fixed them promptly, which is awesome. And the configuration is very easy - you add the domain, and depending on some features send them an HTTP request, and that's it. Super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm grandfathered on their older plan, and I wish I was able to switch to a yearly plan instead of monthly. Less invoices to handle :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use well balanced with the available features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not the most advanced tool available, so if you need a lot of insight maybe this is not for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
