And of course I'm going to want to know how this is better/different than pingdom?
Great design by the way. I would play up the alerts a bit more in your marketing copy. Companies would pay to immediately know their site has been defaced/hacked/down instead of waking up in the morning to a barrage of angry emails. Especially people with online stores. That's money in the bank right there.
I think you're right about the notifications. One of the key features we're pushing for in the next month or two will be workflow associated with notifications. Right now we just notify the contact list on failure, but we know that a more practice solution is to notify a series of people up the chain of command based on a per-defined order. For us notifications are key, and we'll be spending a lot of time on making them perfect.
Good luck guys.
Siteuptime is someone i personally used in another life. A few of the big reasons i'd encourage you to change are: - Time between checks (we go as low as 5 seconds, but default for demo accounts is 60 seconds). If i'm correct siteuptime do 2 minutes for a fee, but default to 5 minutes. - We'll give you phone, sms and email notifications - Our reporting for response time related data is very detailed, summarized to the hour and available per location we hit your site from (So you can easily tell what things look like from Brazil and Virginia by plotting them both) - We also do uptime reports, although our graphing is prettier (Soon to have screenshots on the new website) - You can have multiple users on one account, so you're not sharing passwords etc
There are a bunch of things we are not releasing right away, but will have very shortly which might also help out. - Public status page - Public API - DNS monitoring - Service specific monitors (We're going to add some monitors specifically for services like hadoop, mysql, mail, etc)
1. Beta customers are free, and at the end of our beta will get a special deal for helping us out 2. We will always have a free tier, and these accounts will be free forever (but limited to two probes)
We're going to bring out a series of other features in the next few months, however our beta launch was aimed at matching the major players and jumping ahead slightly by providing a more regular monitoring interval and the option for voice/phone based notifications.
We appreciate everyone's feedback!
