Uptrends Review

Monitor Website Uptime And Performance Globally

One of the reliable features offered by Uptrends is that it permits teams to easily identify and analyze the root causes of website uptime and performance issues on a global scale. This is because the solution provides 179 monitoring checkpoints across the world, enabling teams to pinpoint the exact geographic locations of users who are experiencing outages and performance problems. Through the aid of these monitoring checkpoints, they will be able to quickly verify if outages are occurring in particular regions, no matter how far they are from such regions.

Detect Issues Before They Reach Site Visitors

Uptrends offers two methods of website monitoring: synthetic monitoring or real browser monitoring and real user monitoring. Synthetic monitoring allows users to ensure that their websites are always available, performing and functioning properly, and are not running slow by letting them simulate the actions or activities that site visitors are usually doing on their websites. Using a real web browser that is hosted on a dedicated Uptrends server, the solution assists users in replicating user experiences and generates data the shows uptime rates, load times and sizes, confirmed errors, and top errors. Even the load times and sizes of each individual page elements are also provided. Because of this, website availability and performance issues are immediately identified and solved before the site visitors complain about them.

Real User Monitoring

On the other hand, real user monitoring is an approach wherein data from actual users or site visitors is directly collected by the solution. Thus, teams can access data that shows website performance across locations and users. They can track the operating systems, browsers, and mobile devices that site visitors are using as they browse the websites. What’s great about this is that Uptrends can generate rich data such as load times and rendering durations on a per user or site visitor basis, allowing teams to capture actual user experiences as they monitor and address website availability, speed, and performance issues.

Access And Share Monitoring Information Easily

The website monitoring solution makes sure that users will be able to easily access all the monitoring data and information they need. Uptrends has the capability to produce error snapshots when it scans a website and detects issues. Thus, users will be able to visualize the errors when a website is down or experiencing some performance issues. This capability is also available when it comes to monitoring web applications and transactions. As users test website transactions, Uptrends takes screenshots that show how pages look like before or after they performed specific steps involved in the transactions. In addition, the solution enables users to automatically send dashboard reports that contain monitoring findings with their colleagues through email as well as export these reports as Excel or PDF files.

Alerting Features

Uptrends provides alerting features that permit users to instantly receive notifications when their websites, services, servers, and applications are down. It has a double-check feature wherein it verifies and confirms first the errors before it generates and sends alerts through email, SMS, phone, and push notification. Another feature is the capability to set up and customize alerts. Here, users will be able to create alert definitions and escalation levels. With this capability, they can prioritize alerts and ensure that they are sent to the right persons in the order they specified.
