Uptime.com vs Cacti: Which is a better fit?

Paul P

Senior ICT Specialist

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.
