Google Cloud Operations Suite vs. AlertSite

Stackdriver is really a very good tool for errors and reporting. It provides the application issues especially the exception errors and sends the alerts. It's available for multiple languages like Python, GO and Java, etc. The best part is all the application errors are available at a single place and it comes with the GAE application. It's slow if you want to search very old logs and need to wait couple of hrs sometimes.

AlertSite is used in our organization to monitor our website and web applications in real-time to collect the super important metrics reflecting web page load time but from the user end (E2E) and that approaches helps us to understand what our website is experiencing in real-time.

• What I have noticed so far is the fact that the AlertSite customer support team is trying to build relationships and go the extra mile to make sure we can overcome any occurring issues and they are quick to respond and provide sufficient guidance for implementing efficiently and fixing products issues.
• Tool has very handy and easy UI.
• It is very well in end to end Application URL monitoring and Front page URL monitoring.

Pretty good product only issue was cost

It is also a great problem detection tool, and this is extremely important for General Motors.

The user can count on the ease of flexible panels and advanced visualization tools that help to identify problems. Among the most common, we can mention:

- containment of hosts;

- cloud provider limitation;

- hardware wear.

And also Stackdriver Integration with other Google Cloud data tools such as BigQuery, Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage and Cloud Database.

Honestly, because it is from Google, we also mainly chose this product on the recommendation of other friends and businesses, and because of its reliability, security and ease of access. It also has excellent technical support and warranty. The staff is fast and super efficient and always helps us when we need help.

We moved all of our services to Site24x7 after several years with AlertSite. We looked at Uptrends and Pingdom to name a few whilst evaluating options. Pingdom lacks functionality and Uptrends we found to have quite a steep learning curve. AlertSites platform and in particular the Deja-Click recorder is a standout tool against the other platforms. Sadly the upscaling costs of multi-location transactions can quickly add up.

• Record storage and search.
• Real-time insights.
• Troubleshooting without interruption.

• AlertSite helps us capture website failures, this helps us to provide 100% uptime as promised with clients.
• We observed issues from AlertSite many times but their support is fast and helpful.
• It needs improvement to avoid false alerting as it wastes the time of the support person and can cause a business impact.
