Visualping Reviews & Product Details

As a web development manager overseeing more than 100 websites, Visualping has become an essential part of our maintenance workflow. We use it every time we update plugins on our Wordpress websites. It simplifies front-end monitoring which helps us quickly detect and address issues across our microsites, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. Setup is simple, and the email alerts have been quite helpful to stay on top of problems.

Visualping is a must-have tool for us, the bulk import feature was a huge time-saver when setting up the initial 500 jobs to monitor our websites.

The interface is quite intuitive and easy to understand and navigate.

It integrated great into our existing tools and systems, especially with our WordPress websites. The ability to use a static IP was also super helpful, since it let us exclude Visualping traffic from GA4 and keep our analytics unaffected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've identified some limitations when running tests in bulk (especially after plugin updates) as it can place a big load on our server. Since we host all our microsites on a single server, running multiple jobs simultaneously can max out resources and cause downtime. The current workaround involves manually batching jobs using labels, which requires extra effort. While the support team has been responsive and even helped us add delays between conflicting jobs, I’d love to see a built in feature that allows for automatic intervals or delays between batches. This would make monitoring much more simple.

We've also noticed that we get notified for insignificant changes, even though the majority of jobs are set up to send an alert if 10% of the webpages has changes, in some cases, it looks like the screenshots it compares are from different devices, for example the last check may use a screenshot from a slightly smaller screen that the next one which then triggers an alert even though nothing changed on the site.

It would also be helpful if it could detect errors on iframe or video integrations, as those are not loaded on the screenshots and cannot be compared, so we're not able to monitor issues with videos or iframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is very nice. I don't have to be an IT professional to know how to use it. Implementation was easy and I was even able to import a lot of what I wanted to track with a spreadsheet. I'm using it every day so it does provide me with some value to find leads. I think the customer support is ok, but I think their hands are tied on false positives. I am on the business plan which is all I can afford and they do offer more machine learning at a higher tier but that is out of my reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was almost at the point of cancelling before they added their new Beta AI tool because I was getting so many false positives. Worked with support to drill down the problem but the new Beta AI tool ended up clearing up about 60% of the false positives. While I'm still getting a fair amount of bad notifications for something I didn't want to be notified about, I'd say I'm only wasting about 20% of my time when I use the product. It's certainly better than nothing. I'm always tagging my false positives with "Irrelivant Information" or "Error" so VisualPing should be able to see my hundreds of reports and refine the product, but I do spend a lot of time going through every notification and reporting back to VisualPing. I hope they are spending equal time trying to make the Beta product better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform has an intuitive user interface, and it's easy to set up monitors on different websites. You can also batch set up sites to monitor via an Excel spreadsheet. There are many advanced features we're not using today that allow you to really fine-tune and tailor your tracking as well, but some of the basic tracking functionality is all we need. Customer support is responsive if needed and provides some good tips and best practices for using the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None really. The alerts can be a lot at times, and maybe a bit overwhelming, but once you get it configured to your preferences, it works great, and we now just use a weekly digest to avoid a flood of alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bulk upload feature is easy and reliable, making things easy for quick and efficient use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't discard a check/run if the site faults meaning if a website fails to load it is recorded as a change. There is then no way to make the next check compare the last successfully loaded copy against the current copy of the page. This means if there is a site outage for a day or two, there is no way to confirm if there are any real changes once the site is back up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I greatly appreciate the excellent support from Visualping, especially when things do not work as expected. The support is always ready to help effectively. I also like the reliable alerts that Visualping offers. After proper setup, I can rely on these alerts, and there are only a few false alarms. This brings a significant increase in efficiency when researching legal updates and significantly reduces downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup of Visualping was very time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Visualping has different options, and you can view dynamic web pages. It helps me so I don't have to manually check things as it can email me itself. Plus, the initial setup was extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they had phone alerts on the free tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works well. If you want to be notified when a website changes, whether those changes are visual or involve the text, Visualping is the tool for you. Plus, it's simple to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two aspects I find a bit frustrating, though they don't outweigh the overall value of the product. First, managing and administering all the locations being monitored can be challenging. Second, the billing system, which relies on banked credits, often results in monitoring interruptions if you misjudge when your credits will be depleted during the month.

I really like that it will keep tabs on things for me and update only when there's a change. It's a huge timesaver and gives a better sense of security that we're maintaining tabs on the many different regulations we need to. Also it's very easy to navigate and use.

I wish all alerts came at the same time on the same day. for some reason sometimes they're not synced and they trickle in which makes writing my own report annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I set it up once and it quietly keeps an eye on the pages I care about. When something actually changes, I get a clear heads-up with the bit that changed. No fluff, just useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pages with lots of moving parts can trigger extra alerts until you dial in the settings. Not a dealbreaker, just takes a bit of tweaking.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

allows me to monitor dozens of competitor websites and insert the valuable data into our organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes changes are very minor, and getting an alert for them is a bit of spam Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
