Freshping (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

Freshping is used by our I.T. department along with other tools that monitor the health of our systems. It is one of a few indicators that there may be a problem. We use it to monitor services directly used by our users. We also integrate it with our ticketing system, Freshservice.

Freshing is well suited for user-facing systems, the systems they directly use. It also serves as nice eye-candy for them to look at. It does not monitor internal IT systems as well as we had hoped, so we use other tools to monitor those systems.

Freshping is being used by our technology team to monitor our web applications' online status. Actually, it's one of a couple of tools we are using with the same objective because we have had not-so-reliable information from all of the different tools. So, as they do not add much overhead, we just prefer to have our apps monitored by different services at the same time.

Freshping is suitable for anyone looking for a service to monitor the status of applications without much trouble and effort on it. The free tier will sure be enough for a lot of users. I wouldn't recommend this if you need very customized checks to define being up or down of course, or a very custom status page.
