Dotcom-Monitor reviews

dotcom-monitor has grown and evolved since the last time I used it to include some cool features

Pluspunten:

Initially, I used this product solely for uptime monitoring but it now offers so much more!

Minpunten:

For now my only blocker is price, and this is only because I only use a small subset of their tools (uptime monitoring)

Price vs Features

Pluspunten:

The software does what it needs to do very well. The variable types of checks from numerous locations is very beneficial.

Minpunten:

The price of the service has gotten disproportionate to its value. As such I was forced to another tool that might not be as feature packed but gets the job done at a price I can afford.

Easy setup - allows you to monitor all your API and sites in minutes

Pluspunten:

Cloud tool which is easy to setup and easy to use to monitor all of our external websites and our APIs.

Minpunten:

Expensive for what you get and can be done in house with a multitude of open source tools.

Great service for multiple reasons

Opmerkingen: Great! I use it daily to make sure everything is running good

Pluspunten:

The amount of servers that test my sites is awesome. Also that they give me an image of the landing page is great.

Minpunten:

Some inconsistency in server response time readings. And you must refresh the page to test another site because otherwise it freaks out and gives you results from the last site you've tested

Best API Monitoring

Opmerkingen: By implementing Dotcom-Monitor, I can sleep peacefully without worrying about our service's uptime.

Pluspunten:

I like API monitoring features that monitor APi by sending the test file. It is actually very accurate.

Minpunten:

There is nothing that I like least about Dotcom-Monitor. It's all services are best.

Reliable Website Monitoring Made Simple

Pluspunten:

Its robust suite of features, including real-time alerts, customizable reporting, and global monitoring location, make it a valuable tool for businesses looking to ensure the reliability and uptime of their websites and applications

Minpunten:

Dotcom-Monitor offers extensive customization options, but the process of setting up and configuring monitoring can be time-consuming and complex for less experienced users.

Review for dotcom-monitor

Pluspunten:

Recently, upon joining the company, I initiated the use of Dotcom-Monitor for load testing our web-based software. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of detail and comprehensiveness of the reports generated by the software. Moreover, the support team at Dotcom-Monitor has exceeded my expectations, particularly an engineer named Egor, who has been an incredible help to me. On almost a daily basis, I reach out to him with various questions and he has consistently demonstrated unwavering patience in addressing all of my inquiries, providing detailed and insightful answers. His level of expertise and professionalism has been invaluable in ensuring that our load testing process runs smoothly and effectively.

Minpunten:

I think, there is less information about some part specially errors that in my idea can be better.

A good monitoring platform

Pluspunten:

Easy to set up. Good notification frequency. Good range of monitoring

Minpunten:

Personally I don't like the name. It sounds like it just monitors web -- it actually does a lot more.

love docom

Opmerkingen: good and brilliant, but the little of dolaars prevent me to get in and advertise my blogger. go ahead

Pluspunten:

can decrease the price to get and announce my bloggers and get more visitors

Minpunten:

easy and get more views. it may be a pissing look but at all it si so good

Excellent Tool for Website Monitoring and Performance Testing

Pluspunten:

Web Page Monitoring is a great tool to monitor single page load time using real browsers.

Minpunten:

Dotcom-Monitor is designed in a simple, easy to understand, user-friendly way that there is nothing that I dislike.

Nice tool for Load testing

Pluspunten:

Easy to use, when the script works. And easy to see the report

Minpunten:

Need lot of effort for scripting, if recording fails

Proactive approach to quality and monitoring the application

Opmerkingen: Very satisfied and impressed with the tutorials pop-ups on every step.

Pluspunten:

Dotcom-monitor proved to be an easy integration in our system to support relaibility engineering practices. Our teams rely on good observability and monitoring tools to maintain a proactive approach on quality and this platform certainly provided that, with limited training needed for the users.

Minpunten:

Some of the workflows were not automatable like dragging and movement of objects.

Dotcom-Monitor a really good software for ISPs

Pluspunten:

I'm a network analyst and use Dotcom tools inside the ISP I work, it's a really good and reliable tool for monitoring things along the network, and testing network components, I usually use it to make diagnostics of servers latency, and dns resolve time.

Minpunten:

For me, in my personal case, I don't need anything more in Dotcom tools, they have everything I need for monitoring my services, and server, and it works very well.

Good, but missing 1 important option

Opmerkingen: Mostly positive experiences, just need to eliminate false positives.

Pluspunten:

Ease to get up an running, was up less than an hour

Minpunten:

Would like to see an option to allow me to select which source servers are monitoring my servers. Any server outside of the U.S.A will create false positives due to my GeoFilter rules applied. This cause my uptime status to be misleading.

once you learn - you can master it

Opmerkingen: once you learn the abilities and capabilities- your life with your site will be much easier

Pluspunten:

once you learn the capabilities and how to use them, life can be much easier the ability to monitor server and pages from around the world in an automatic process worth a lot

Minpunten:

the learning process on the product is a little bit harder then “plug & play” so need to dive deep into it

DotCom Insights

Opmerkingen: We have had a great experience using Dotcom-Monitor, especially with our HLS steams.

Pluspunten:

I love the ease of usability and the insights it gives our team into our infrastrucutre on a daily basis.

Minpunten:

There was some questions if we could use DotCom-monitor to monitor streaming video, but we quickly had the questions answered.

Easy setup, great features

Opmerkingen: Satisfied.

Pluspunten:

The software is easy to setup and helps me track availability of my own app as well as third party apps that are embedded in our product. The configuration setting allow user to control minutest details such as frequency of checks.

Minpunten:

Setting up complex user workflows for SaaS apps and recording performance is slightly difficult and perhaps there are other alternatives that do better.

The top solution for monitoring

Opmerkingen: It's our one-stop shop for all our monitoring needs.

Pluspunten:

Dotcom-Monitor is a very feature rich solution with a lot to offer. I predominantly use the BrowserView to manage an maintain the performance of our web properties and ServerView to monitor uptime and be notified of outages.

Minpunten:

There’s no doubt that Dotcom Monitor has a lot of layers to offer, which can make it seem a little complex at first. However it is easy to get started.

Saved my bacon

Opmerkingen: Keeping maximum uptime

Pluspunten:

All my sites warn me if they go down and I can respond promptly

Minpunten:

None really. It does what it says on they can

Irshad -Chase

Opmerkingen: i used the trial and my experience was good, i was able to see value and get use, but that could not be translated to the management due to fact that it wasnt simple to read or understand to them.

Pluspunten:

I enjoyed the fact that i was able to pin point my delays with my web applications, and thus improve the quality of the server

Minpunten:

the lack of simplicity, at times when this needs to be explained to management, its a lil difficult to make them see what you talking about when looking the reports, and when engaging with DEV, if its able to pick up anomolies that would be great

Ok but could be better

Pluspunten:

Recording the script could've been a good feature

Minpunten:

Couldn't measure a session after authentication. The UI was confusing and hard to set up. But the biggest deal breaker for us was that we couldn't start measuring a page after the authentication flow. It would be great if there was a way to create a script to create a new browser session (including auth token) and then reuse this session for other separate tests.

Great product to monitor a website

Opmerkingen: I loved dotcom-monitor.

Pluspunten:

The reports are very detailed. Love the graphs and pie-charts.

Minpunten:

Would love to see more EU and Asian countries/locations in the "Uptime by location" section.

An awesome toolset for techno

Pluspunten:

The ease of usage, and the toolsets available are best inline to the needs.

Minpunten:

there was not at all "least" about this software.

User friendly and efficient tool!

Pluspunten:

Easy to login and find help. Good spacing on each page.

Minpunten:

Some features are hard to find within the software without help.

Best monitoring tool for us

Opmerkingen: This is a reliable tool which really helped us to monitor and make the necessary adjustments in order to get the best webpage speeds for our platform.

Pluspunten:

Easy to use and reflects the webpage speeds across the Globe pretty good. Really like that with one click you can test your webpage speeds on more than 20 servers at once.

Minpunten:

For what we use this tool, there are no concerns.
