What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

Most useful for uptime monitoring of websites. It lets you know when a website goes down and has several options for what would cause the site to be listed as down and many locations from where you can check your websites, so you can verify it is not just a regional outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

The UI is a bit dated, but the reason I switched uptime providers was for faster notification of a website going down and also more options of what could be monitored. While StatusCake will monitor the website uptime and do it well, there are only a few other things that they can monitor. The lack of monitoring options was an issue for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Monitoring the uptime of my and my clients' websites. Notifications of any downtime, so action can be taken immediately to correct and bring a down website back online as quickly as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is best to track the user interaction with our website, and can also the geographical area where our website engaged a lot. I have found it best because it is very advance from the google analytic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I can say I do not like, it is easy to set up and configure with the website. Even a non-technical person can make his website connection with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would definitely recommend you, staying above your competitor can only be done by this software so you know which keyword you can use for your website requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is just a skill to know what is best for the website. when I started my blog I just keep posting without any track. But after using this software now I can see where i am getting more users and on which keyword I should keep working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

StatusCake is pretty good value for money, offering a much greater number of tests than alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

StatusCake feels a bit dated now. Development seems to have gone stale, and with new products such as StatusPage, while initially good, I've had to move to StatusPage.io.

StatusCake offers a limited set of APIs that worked ok until they implemented JS CloudFlare DDOS protection on the restful API, which is just plain odd and any custom code soon broke. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have stripped most of my production systems from StatusCake in favor of more reliable and feature-rich competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from James Barnes of StatusCake.com

John,

I’m really sorry to hear that you feel StatusCake has become a little bit dated now.

Much of the work we’ve been doing over the last 12 months has been behind the scenes - updating services and infrastructure.

We have actually got some very exciting updates coming that are more visible.

The first is our new API which will go live within the next couple of months. This will deliver a cleaner, more modern API structure with full documentation to get you up-and-running right away. We also plan to build out API clients for multiple languages, as well as release an official StatusCake Terraform resource for developers to utilize the API more conveniently.

You’ll also start to see changes in-app as we not only give the app a facelift, but implement some significant usability improvements that our team have worked through in customer feedback sessions.

I’d really welcome the opportunity to chat with you about your experience. If you’d like to chat then please message our support team and ask for me, and I’ll gladly set up a call to talk.

All the best

JB

What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

they have an excellent response time, a seemingly genuine concern for their customers, and the product seems like it's very well thought through when it was being developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

I can't say as I dislike anything so far, I have a lot to do with the account still but I do plan on really digging deep into the account to see everything it can offer. By then I might be able to find something I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm tracking the load times of my sites and analyzing the data as it changes with some inconsistencies across my five dedicated servers. After creating an account I discovered a lot more information that I have at my fingertips with my account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

The interface to customize and make my site's uptime pages and checks is VERY easy to use and understand. The whole process is taken step by step and never overcomplicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

Public Reporting pages are only available in paid versions of the software. Other providers allow users to generate a public status page at no additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used StatusCake to present my users with an uptime page for my website and services. I also receive e-mail notifications on when a check goes down and these notifications are very timely. I've benefited from this service simply by being aware of downtime before my users are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

When I go on vacation, Status Cake gives me the peace of mind of being monitored and taken care of by countless customer sites.And especially keep an eye on my company website https://studioa1.com.br Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

There is something I disliked about this service. Monitoring is accurate and the alerts maintain the level of trust that is put into monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StatusCake.com:

Thanks to Status Cake today I have a real vision of monitoring my company's website https://studioa1.com.br Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

My website Studio A1-Media Corp was hosted on a server that fell too far and through Status Cake I was able to take science of this fact. After changing the hosting everything stabilized but it was through the reports and alerts that I made sure what it was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

Ability to monitor in one service uptime, scan for viruses, SSL certificates, and domain expiration dates.

For some apps, ping does not really show the state of an application, so it is very useful to have tracking of RAM / CPU / disk space for our servers in the same service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

Not enough testing locations (for example only 4 Asian countries represented, which is not enough) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StatusCake.com:

I think StatusCake will fit very well business who has not only 1 website but many different applications running under it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Make sure every application functions correctly. Ability to minimize downtimes of all applications is very important as less traffic, leads and sales lost on downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StatusCake.com?

I think the best thing is the ease of testing all the servers that must remain online, since I created a script that allowed me to validate its availability but I knew this tool and saw all the alternatives and I liked it a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StatusCake.com?

although it may be for security but I do not like that every time I enter I ask to enter the verification code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StatusCake.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

We carried out a web solution on our client's server and they told us that the page was not accessible and with this program we were able to identify the error Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
