I've been a Pingdom user for several years and I can't stand it. I'm very excited to see another player in this market. The one thing we're hoping to see is some form of integration with StatusPage.io. As soon as we have that kind of integration, I'm jumping ship to a new provider.
Hi, I'm Steve and I run product at Opsee. There are a few important differences:
1. The rich assertion language in Opsee means we're checking for more than availability - we're looking for correct responses too. This makes us more useful for checking APIs, since services can fail and still return a 200
2. We're measuring round-trip time for every check - Pingdom charges a lot more for this than their standard checks
3. Usability. Our integrations with Slack and Pagerduty are really simple to set up, our UI is responsive and well...better
4. We can also health check inside your AWS environment when you add our EC2 Instance, giving you more complete coverage. We actually do a lot of cool stuff inside AWS.
