Grant W.: Hi there. My name's Grant. I'm a DevOps engineer. I would give Zabbix a four out of five rating. For more reviews, click below. Previous to using Zabbix, we were using Nagios for our monitoring. While it did seem to be okay, we found that Zabbix was a much better solution overall. We decided to go with [Nabbix 00:00:27] for our monitoring for multiple different reasons actually. The first one being the amount of different plugins that Zabbix has. We like the interface on it. We liked the speed of getting things set up. It seems to be a nice monitoring tool overall. We found getting set up with Zabbix to be relatively easily actually. We looked at all the options and deployed Zabbix within a couple of months. We have fine tuned it to our specific needs, and it seems to be working well. I would recommend anybody who wants to use Zabbix take a look at all the options. Take a look at all the plugins. Do your planning before you even start to look at rolling this out. Doing that will save you a lot of time in the long run, and it'll all be set up correctly and nicely for you.

Andrew: Hello, I'm Andrew, owner. Today, I'm rating Freshping. I give it a rating of five. For more reviews like this, click below. For me, I really didn't have a software to tell me when websites were having errors. To be honest, Freshping opened up my eyes to new softwares where it would actually make it easier for the website to send me an email versus my clients calling me going, "Hey, my website's down. Why is it down?" It usually would give me the chance to find out the website's down, fix it, and then send the customer a short email saying, "Hey, your website went down. This is what was wrong, and we're already back up and running." Basically chose Freshping because it's the only one I really found on the market that was an easy tool to use. It made my life easier when I can set up a, "Hey, this is the error 404 message for this website. Why is it offline?" And it would send it to me instead of the client getting upset going, "Hey, my website's down. I'm losing business. Why is my website down?" It was definitely simple to set up Freshping. You follow the step-by-step guide. For their initial system set-up, you can literally set up 50 websites at first, and anything above 50 websites is when they actually start billing you for it. For me, as a small-time website developer, getting set up with something easy was the best thing for me. To be honest, Freshping was the best thing that happened to me and my company, so I would recommend it to anybody and everybody, even if you're just starting out as a web developer and you only have five websites. That five could turn into 15, could turn into 20. If you've got that alert system that's going to tell you when a website goes down, it just makes you look more professional.
