Co-founder here. The big difference, compared with tools like Pingdom, is that we're operating inside your environment. We can tell you where the failure happened and give you tools to fix it. We're like Pingdom for microservice environments, helping developers know their services, inside or outside the firewall, are working as expected.
Yes, definitely. That will become more clear when we launch support for RDS/SQL health checks in the next few weeks. The biggest differentiator between us and these OSS tools is ease-of-use and maintenance. With Opsee there are no configurations to manage, YAML files to create, or agents to run. Setup is dead simple, and you never need to maintain health checks. Our checks react instantly to changes in your infrastructure.
