What do you like best about AlertSite?

I can provide step-by-step end-user experiences with different paths and attain a precise understanding of when the response suffers in AlertSite. That kind of diligence has spared my team numerous hours in terms ofnoutime guessing how to fix specific website problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlertSite?

Compared to the desktop version, AlertSite is rather limited in its functionality, so it may be challenging to monitor critical alerts outside the office. When it comes to presentations for probably distributed work groups, relying on desktop notification alone may not be effective as some issues may be missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlertSite solving and how is that benefiting you?

AlertSite has really improved how I monitor the ability of my website to respond positively. In this way, I can call problems before they become a showstopper, reducing the risks of lost revenue opportunities while promoting a company that delivers a high-quality user experience.

What do you like best about AlertSite?

We use AlertSite for end to end Application URL monitoring and Front page URL monitoring. Tool has very handy and easy UI. We can record URL login as we need and set alert. If error occurred or there's some condition failed while login, it gives alert. We can easily test on demand and find which step having issue and take action as per that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlertSite?

AlertSite many time sends false alarm alert, new Alert addition, password update takes too much time to perform, its complex compared to other monitoring tools present in market like Datadog. But AlertSite support is quick so issues get resolved quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AlertSite solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to set alerting for url monitoring. For some applications we only monitor front oage with it, but most of time we use it to monitor end to end url monitoring means we can set alert to check login page, login to url, check for specified string after login, and logout. To do this we record all the steps and set alert and act on it when one of the step fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AlertSite?

I know this product for quite some time, but now it has a new interface, which is more user friendly and also all the old functions packed for performance and usability. I find it very easy to be used and intuitive. For some time they have some 30 days free trial which i strongly recommend if you are now to monitoring or do you want to check all the new stuff SmartBear is providing with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AlertSite?

I would have wish for more recording apps. Currently to load your test you would need to download DejaClick and record your steps and after you would need to play it back with smart-bear, but before doing that you would need to upload this to the smart-bear site, which it is kinda complicated. Also it would have been great if smart-bear playing capabilities would not stuck when a new loin key is provided when you do the jumps between api's. In few words I am still not able to log in in one app and jump in another one with the same ssh key and smart-bear to be able to play this recording, it will get stuck because the ssh key will not refresh in smart-bear chrome or firefox.

I'm doing all kind of monitoring with this, but mostly the availability of the servers, up time of webpages and responses from webpages, this can run for a long time and you can have some report over a long period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
