Website Monitoring Software

The only downsides I’ve run into are internal. The NinjaOne DoJo can be problematic because logins aren’t always accepted when using the same credentials as the traditional login portal. Beyond that, it’s hard for me to point to any other real negatives, especially since their team is very responsive about helping you find a solution or making you aware of solutions that already exist.

They are solving the problems with Detection Gap, Update Anxiety, Endpoint Performance, and Audit Headaches. NinjaOne is solving my problem of fragmentation. By putting RMM, Patching, and Backups in one AI-enhanced "single pane of glass," it gives me back my time and significantly lowers my organizational risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of visibility into the customer journey

Problem:

E‑commerce teams often struggle to understand exactly where users encounter friction—slow product pages, checkout failures, or payment gateway delays.

How New Relic solves it:

New Relic provides end‑to‑end visibility of critical journeys like checkout and fulfillment, showing which technical issues directly impact revenue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Sentry is a powerhouse for error tracking, it still has a few friction points that can be frustrating for power users and growing teams.

First, alert noise and configuration fatigue are real risks. The sheer volume of data Sentry captures is a double-edged sword: if you don’t dial things in early, alert fatigue can set in fast. The default alerting rules can be overly sensitive and end up flooding Slack or email with “noise.” Getting those rules tuned so they reliably separate a critical system failure from a minor, handled UI exception takes a meaningful time investment, and the path to doing it well isn’t always intuitive.

Second, the UI has become increasingly complex as Sentry has expanded beyond error logging into Performance, Replays, and Crons. The dashboard can feel dense, and finding specific settings—or even just moving between “Discover” queries and “Issue” views—can be overwhelming for new team members. There’s also a steep learning curve to mastering the query language (Sentry Structured Queries) so you can consistently pull exactly the data you’re looking for.

Third, data volume and quota management can be a headache, especially around data truncation and sampling. To keep costs down, you often end up implementing aggressive sampling (for example, only keeping 10% of performance traces). The downside is that the one trace you need to debug a rare edge case sometimes isn’t there because it fell outside the sample rate. Balancing visibility with budget can turn into constant monitoring of “dropped events.”

Fourth, the SDK footprint can feel heavy. The SDKs are “plug-and-play,” but they aren’t invisible. In performance-sensitive frontend applications, enabling multiple Sentry features (like Session Replay and heavier breadcrumb tracking) can noticeably increase bundle size. If you’re optimizing for “Lighthouse” scores and millisecond-level performance, the trade-off between observability and site speed becomes an ongoing debate.

Finally, pricing jumps between tiers can be tough. The entry-level pricing feels fair, but moving up to “Business” or “Enterprise” can feel steep. Some advanced features—like certain SSO integrations or longer data retention—are locked behind higher-cost tiers, which can be a hard sell for mid-sized startups that need those security features but aren’t yet operating at “Enterprise” levels of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry addresses the critical “blind spot” between code deployment and user experience by offering real-time visibility into production errors and performance bottlenecks that might otherwise go unreported. With features like **Session Replay** and **Distributed Tracing**, it helps break the “cannot reproduce” cycle by giving developers the exact sequence of events and the backend traces they need to pinpoint and fix bugs quickly. In the end, this supports teams by significantly reducing **Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)** and helping maintain a more stable, high-performing product through AI-assisted root cause analysis.

One thing I dislike about Atera is that some advanced features feel limited compared to more complex RMM platforms. Occasionally the interface can feel a bit slow when managing a large number of devices. However, overall the platform still delivers great value for the price and continues to improve with updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Atera helps me solve the challenge of managing multiple clients and devices efficiently from a single, centralized platform. With it, I can monitor systems in real time, automate patch management, and provide remote support quickly without having to juggle multiple tools. As a result, downtime for my clients is reduced, my response times improve, and my overall productivity increases. It also makes it easier to scale my IT services in a more controlled way while keeping costs predictable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Better Stack is that some configurations can be a bit confusing at first, especially when you want to adjust alerts or delve into the logs. I also feel that in certain cases it could offer more customization options or integrations. It's not critical, but these are details that could improve the experience, especially for more technical teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better Stack helps me primarily solve the visibility problem in my services. When you have multiple APIs and processes running, it's easy to lose sight of what's failing or where the bottleneck is. With Better Stack, I can centralize logs, monitoring, and alerts, which allows me to detect problems much faster and take action without wasting time investigating in different tools. This ultimately translates into less downtime and better stability in my applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dynatrace enables business-grade visibility across the enterprise IT estate, connecting key business KPIs back to the infrastructure that supports those processes. This straightforward convergence of the business and technology worlds helps non-technical stakeholders understand the importance of their technology stack through an engineering-led approach, rather than relying on slideware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can take a significant amount of time and effort to train new users on its advanced functionality and full set of features. In my opinion, it’s also noticeably pricier than other APM tools I’ve worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience with IBM Instana in our organization has been largely positive. Before deploying it, we struggled to identify performance issues quickly. Since implementing it, it has helped us resolve incidents faster and has also given us real-time monitoring capabilities, which makes it easier to spot and address problems as they arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The hierarchical grouping for OT devices is still pretty manual. Every time maintenance swaps a sensor or adds a new actuator I have to go rebuild the tree structure by hand, and if you forget one sub-group the maps look like a jigsaw with missing pieces. It’s not a deal-breaker, but after a busy shutdown week it feels like busywork that should be smarter by now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used to fly blind on predictive maintenance—machines would just fail and we’d scramble. Now PRTG gives us trending curves I can actually show the maintenance guys in plain English. We cut unplanned downtime by roughly 40 % on the critical lines and shaved about 18 % off our quarterly energy bill because we finally saw which machines were idling at full power overnight. The ROI showed up in the first six months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The core observability features are strong overall, but there are still a few areas that could be improved. Real User Monitoring (RUM) and synthetic monitoring, in particular, feel fairly basic right now, and adding more capabilities in these areas would make the platform even more powerful.

CubeAPM helps us address the challenge of monitoring multiple services and systems that were previously spread across different tools. By bringing logs, metrics, distributed tracing, and infrastructure monitoring together in a single platform, it gives us a more unified view of our applications. As a result, we can identify errors faster, trace slow API calls more easily, and debug issues across services with less back-and-forth, which improves our troubleshooting speed and overall system reliability.

Not a dislike but a feature I would like to see is ExtraHop move towards prevention. Currently, the product is good at identifying and detecting suspicious or malicious activity. Prevention can be achieved through integration with tools but it would be nice to have these native to ExtraHop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whenever we perform penetration tests, ExtraHop is always the first tool to detect the activity. Often times, the penetration testers will start their campaigns performing reconnaissance and trying to remain stealthy. Because they are not attempting to exploit vulnerabilities at this stage and may be using legitimate system tools, these actions would usually go unnoticed. By inspecting all network traffic, ExtraHop is quick to determine unusual activity on the network host even if it is not a managed device. The network traffic can be inspected by SOC teams and actions can be taken to contain the suspicious device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some areas in OpManager can feel a bit clunky, especially advanced configurations and customization. The alerting system, while powerful, can become noisy without careful tuning. Scalability and performance may require additional setup in large environments. Also, licensing and add-on costs can get expensive as you expand features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ManageEngine OpManager helps by providing centralized monitoring of all network devices, reducing the need to check multiple tools. It quickly detects outages, performance issues, and bandwidth bottlenecks, which minimizes downtime and speeds up troubleshooting. This improves overall network reliability and saves time for the IT team by automating alerts and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is lack of name recognition as we leverage ENA as part of the services that we provide to our client base. From targeted marketing or more highly visible partnerships, the Entuity name needs more recognition in the IT Network world. They were purchased by Park Place a few years ago which has helped in some areas but not in the area of name recognition in the monitoring space.

One other area of concern, which is likely true with many vendors, but something we didn't used to see with the Entuity folks is they tend to defer instead of just coming out and saying 'no' to some questions. If we are asking for them to support something new that doesn't make sense to them we would appreciate a more open and honest answer. I recently met with their executive team and got those answers that their engineers will no longer provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do a trial and work with the sales engineers. As a hosting company we have a very large and complex network and produces situations that they could not handle. The sales engineers immediately took those to development and in roughly one week we had a custom hot-fix that addressed all of our concerns. And to our delight, all of those changes were included in the GA product release to the public. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest has been tool consolidation. When we are supporting a client that is having a performance problem, the ability to go to a single console to see all the network views that we care about (instead of half a dozen different products) goes a long way to reduce the time to resolution. Then on top of that are all the event management rules we can leverage to control unwanted noise and out of the box integration to our preferred enterprise management tool, BMC TrueSight.

Another major gap that we have used Entuity to fill is to have regular backups of network equipment configurations across many brands. There are still some gaps but it is narrowing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any major complaints, but one aspect that could use improvement is the internal documentation and the number of manual steps involved in workflows. If there were more structure and clearer guidance in these areas, I believe productivity could be enhanced even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Last9 is solving the problem of unreliable, difficult-to-understand systems in modern distributed architectures. As applications grow more complex, it becomes harder to maintain uptime, identify the root cause of failures, and ensure that services meet reliability goals. Last9 addresses this by providing structured SLO (Service Level Objective) management, real-time observability, and automated insights into system performance.

For me, this has been extremely beneficial because it helps me:

Detect issues early before they become customer-impacting incidents.

Reduce time spent on debugging, since Last9 surfaces the exact services or dependencies causing reliability risks.

Track reliability in a measurable way through SLOs instead of relying on subjective judgments.

Focus my efforts on what truly matters, thanks to clear error budgets and actionable alerts.

Deliver more stable releases, ensuring better user experience and fewer production escalations.

Overall, Last9 helps turn reliability from a reactive activity into a proactive, data-driven process — which boosts my efficiency and confidence in managing high-scale systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is worth noting that the tool is still in heavy development. While the team is clearly trying their best and moving quickly, not all convenience features are present yet compared to older, more bloated competitors. However, the stability and speed of the core features more than make up for the current gaps in the "nice-to-have" category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For an engineering team without a dedicated DevOps department, Dash0 removes the operational burden of 'tool-chaining' by providing a unified, OTel-native environment that automatically correlates logs and traces, allowing us to maintain full visibility into our services without needing a specialist to manage complex infrastructure or proprietary agents.
