## Reviews

### "Simple Monitoring" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *2 January 2023* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I was looking for a product that would let me know when my server was up, but most solutions required that I installed something or they needed to ping my server. Healthchecks.io, on the other hand, allowed me to have something reaching out to them, this was exactly what I was looking for. This means I can monitor servers in my private LAN without exposing them out to the Internet.
> 
> **Cons**: Honestly, Healthchecks.io is very simple and effective that I don't need any other features.
> 
> I've enjoyed using Healthchecks.io, I use it to monitor a server in my private LAN that runs a medium critical service that I'm not always looking at and it's good to know when it needs attention.

### "Great tool for everyone who runs infrastructure for their business" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. No need to install a daemon software on the server, just add a one-liner to your scripts and you are done.
> 
> **Cons**: I am missing a cheaper tier than "Business" (20€/month) that only unlocks more than 20 monitored jobs. The Business tier includes several other upgrades that I personally would not need and would therefore rather not pay for.
> 
> It is an awesome tool for everyone looking for simple uptime and cronjob alerts and reports.

### "Useful for heartbeat monitoring of services - especially backups" — 4.0/5

> **Falke** | *1 June 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The extreme use of setup - email notifications are plenty sufficient for a small suite of services which need monitoring.
> 
> **Cons**: Some UI elements and organisation is clunky - I can't imagine handling hundreds of checks.

### "Perfect software to monitor your Server uptime" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 January 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its very easy to setup and very custumizable (e.g. Intervalls, Notifications...) The documentation has enought examples for most systems. And there is a Integration for Homeassistent
> 
> **Cons**: I am very Happy with the Software, sometimes I would wish packaged Software to install (e.g. Debian Package with Wizzard instead of a cron.
> 
> Its a very lightweight Monitoring system if you are interested if a service is up or down. It does its job fast and without any Problems.

### "A nice way to easily monitor services and servers" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 June 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ease of use; create a new service, you get a URL, and that's it. It's up to you to build the logic behind the checks, when and how to call the URL.&#10;In its simplest form, a cronjob with the example provided works well.
> 
> **Cons**: I can;t think of any. It's a simple service that does what it says, with plenty of functionality.

A failed cron job often has no immediate visible consequences, and can go unnoticed for a long time.
