Love it, it monitors really great, the emails send never end up in my spambox and the sms service is reasonable quick, nice for monitoring during the night, just a quick sms on your smartwatch.
When looking al all ping check down checks show as red but the line graph graphic is in the middle vs at the bottom for indicating no communication or dead ping.
This is very useful for us as we're able to identify and resolve issues very quickly. Being able to personalize the look and feel of our website monitoring system is also very important for us.
This complicates monitoring SaaS and leaves the product useless for SLA and OLA calculations.
This balance of easy-of-use and powerful extensibility is exactly what my team was looking for. I'm glad we stumbled across this product.
I'm a solo developer/admin for an internet-based company, and so it's crucial that we are immediately aware of any outages or problems with our sites.
Uptime.com works perfectly well for this purpose and has a robust API that allowed us to easily migrate from a prior platform.
The timeout limit of 60sec on the transactions was a bit difficult to manage because our testing flow was a bit longer & it wasn't possible to split it into multiple tests.
I like how easy it is to use Google alerts and how they help me keep an eye on important industry players and news with their reports, which are conveniently delivered to my email.
With a lot of simplicity comes lack of features. It can also be very boring for tech geeks.
Google Alerts is the best way to stay informed about the things you like on the internet. With this system from Google you can better manage what you watch on the web.
Some of the search results lack authenticity a it may be outdated.
My overall experience with google alerts is very satisfied and i am enjoying this free of cost service with amazing features for last many years.
Sometimes, Google Alerts can be a little overwhelming depending on the user's settings and, at times, hundreds of alerts can be sent which makes email management a bit difficult at times.
I like the fact that it is super easy to setup the tool and start getting reports on the topics of interest directly on your inbox.
The frequency which Google Alerts gets terms from web it's a bit lazy. Even when you know that a term is frequently used, it shows you little information.
Jeanette: Hi, I'm Jeanette, and I'm a business owner. And I give Google Alerts four out of five stars. For more reviews, please click below. As a business owner who does various different services for clients all around the world, google Alerts helps me greatly keep on top of many different things. I love the fact that I can put up different words to get alerted when they're being talked about, or being that I'm a very public person, that I am able to alert when anybody says my name, my complete name, I can put into the system. So therefore, I can go and either thank the person for tagging me into a social media post, or I can share or build relationships. As well as, with social media, it's so important to know what's going on in the different platforms. So by setting alerts, I am keeping on top of my business to the four corners of this round world using Google Alerts. So what I like most about Google Alerts is I have a very unique social media training program. And it's got a unique title. And what I love is I'm able to put that into Google Alerts. So if somebody is using my, say, system or a version of my system, I can be on top of if somebody is basically ripping off what I do for a living. So that's what I love the most, is when you are a small business owner and you have developed your own unique programs, you want to keep on top of it, and Google Alerts definitely helps me with this. The one thing that I like least about Google Alerts, you know I gave them four out of five stars, is they don't allow the use of symbols, like quotation marks. Because my program has got quotation marks in the branding of it, I tend to get a lot of alerts that aren't relevant to what I put the Google Alert in. So Google Alerts it'd be great if you could include quotation marks, or question marks, or exclamation points. It would make a lot easier for me to go through all those great alerts I get to make business that much easier for me.
