"A very good alternative for UptimeRobot"
5/5
What do you like best about Pulsetic?

Not gonna lie, when i was tasked to find an alternative to UptimeRobot because of their recent ToS changes i thought it was going to be an enduring task, they have a lot of years perfecting their product and even when there are a lot of players in the game is not so easy to compete with such a robust platform.

We looked to other solutions before the mouth-to-mouth word about Pulsetic came to us by other sysadmins, we immediately started test it and i have to say im convinced they are a good enough robust alternative to the other big ones in the game, and definitely one you would like to check if (like us) you need something to fill the gap UptimeRobot is leaving.

You have all the goods from UptimeRobot, a status page, a modern dashboard to configure the tool, clean stats details of the performance from the monitors, and acceptable enough options to choose from when creating monitors, but you have other stuff the others hide behind a paywall like more status pages. They also show you a cool map from the datacenters they use to ping your monitors and log data from failed checks which is a nice thing to have.

There's also the fact that in the last times UptimeRobot had a lot of false positives, especially from keyword monitors, and when a monitor activated sometimes it would take more time to report the real state than the real thing. We haven't had such things with Pulsetic.

All the process of implementation is easy enough (they have a lot of tutorials in their webpage so you can use this customer support portal in case you need it), so there's no excuses to not migrate from UptimeRobot. As a recommendation you can integrate it with Google chat using webhooks as a solution to the absense of mobile app, this way you can have a better day to day experience if you are a mobile user (me and my team use it frequently).

So yhea, we just moved everything to Pulsetic and we are very happy about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulsetic?

I think they should really focus on creating a mobile app, yes you have email notifications and webhook in the free plan but a mobile app with push notifications could really be a game breaking feature. That's really the only thing i can think would make this fantastic product better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid solution for website monitoring"
5/5
What do you like best about Pulsetic?

We've had too many 'my site is down' calls so we searched for a solution to monitor our client websites. Pulsetic does exactly that. Every week we get a summary email with up-time stats. We put it on file for any client calls on the subject. It was very easy to set-up, and we quickly filled all of the slots at our pricing tier. The piece-of-mind provided by the service is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulsetic?

NA. It is filling the function that we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A must-have for web designers, developers and admins"
5/5
What do you like best about Pulsetic?

If you manage multiple websites, staying on top of website uptime and SSL status is crucial, and Pulsetic makes it effortless. Its intuitive interface presents key metrics in an easy-to-follow format, allowing for quick insights without digging through complex dashboards. Each monitor also show Average response time, Downtime incidents, and the Average amount of time for downtime incidents. They also provide Status pages that you can set up for your clients.The customizable notification options are also nice so you can be immediately informed of any downtime or SSL issues so you can work to remedy them. With many great features, Pulsetic delivers a seamless, easy to implement, well-designed service that simplifies website monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulsetic?

Been using for a couple of months and have not found anything I do not like about their service. Maybe the only thing is that they do send quite of lot of marketing emails but it is easy to opt out of those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple easy-to-use monitors with status pages"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Pulsetic?

Pulsetic is easy-to-use and simple to get started. As an agency, I like that it includes unlimited status pages, because I can create one for each of my clients. Pulsetic includes every alert channel that I want, and advanced settings that give me greater confidence in the uptime. I can require that a response include certain text and respond within a certain timeframe in order for a site to be considered online. This gives me assurance that we would be notified if there were major performance issues or a bad deployment that made the site unusable. These features come with every paid plan, so our monthly bill is predictable. I left my previous provider because I felt like I was getting nickeled and dimed for every additional feature.

The API is a huge bonus on the teams plan. We have used it to add maintenance windows for certain monitors automatically based on events that happen in other software we use. On that note, we needed a new endpoint added to the API to be able to do that. I opened a customer support ticket and the founder responded quickly and had a new endpoint made for me the next week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulsetic?

This isn't Pulsetic's fault, but Cloudflare does not automatically whitelist Pulsetic's bots, so we have to do it manually for each site we want to monitor. Also, the API documentation is fairly basic and can be difficult to understand. Getting the API working took some trial and error, discovering which request fields are required, especially with timezones.

Pulsetic includes a Slack integration but it took some effort to get it working because I don't think it's made to work with Slack's workflows, which is what Slack is moving to.

The new user onboarding for teams sends the user their password in clear text, and does not give the new user a direct link to change their password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Monitoring For Web Design & Development Agencies"
5/5
What do you like best about Pulsetic?

Pulsetic's monitoring is easy to set up via their super clean, user-friendly UI. I was up and running within only a few minutes. A helpful knowledge base is available for webmasters to refer to if needed. Highly recommended for those looking for an alternative to Uptime Robot. Pulsetic's pricing is also some of the most competitive in the industry. I highly recommend them for emerging and established agencies alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulsetic?

There is currently no mobile app equivalent. Everything is handled through the website. This is an opportunity for the Pulsetic team to further elevate their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
