   It's so easy to setup and monitoring websites

   I got everything setup in a minute. No integration required. I now get alerts when my website is down on Slack!! Now they have API and server monitoring as well.

   👍 Pros:    Better uptime|Performance monitoring|Api monitoring|Server monitoring
