Phare-tastic feedback
They all came for a free uptime monitoring tool, they stayed for the superior platform, and the vibe.
Amazing uptime management! Works automatically and notifies me via email.
I simply love it. The UI is very clean and clear. You only pay what you use. That is for every request that is made. You can even adjust the frequency for each monitor individually. However, for me the best feature is the well-documented API that makes it possible to embed phare.io into your existing infrastructure in no-time.
Super slick. Ridiculously simple to setup. Took me a minute to figure out where the badge was but otherwise this was setup in a blink of an eye.
I think Phare has a very clean and to the point interface and feature list. I use for my personal projects right now but I am considering it for work related things as well.
Phare can be described simply in two words: Absolutely amazing.
Phare offers a nice status page that is incredibly easy to use. It’s free to play, no credit card required. Incident management has internal and external communication.
It’s a great product, I was able to participate in the beta and it’s really a great project, I’m very happy that we have a solution like that in Europe. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Nice UI, clear UX, custom domain, custom status page. I sign up and 5 minutes later I get : - 2FA secure auth - A nice status page on my own domain - Telegram & email alert working The product is simple and powerful, I love it. Bravo !
We’ve been using Phare for months now, and the dev is actively working on improving the system! He responds to messages and even reached out to us when we didn’t know there was a problem. We’ve used lots of systems and by far this takes the cake and works perfect for what we need.
Checked many, many competitors, and Phare is fairly the best option to go with!
It has all the important features and its UI is just lovely!
