At the end of November, we’ll be migrating the Sematext Logs backend from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch

Sematext vs Uptime.com

Uptime requires you to pay for both Synthetic and Real User Monitoring, while Sematext provides independent solutions for flexible, full-stack monitoring.

Experience the power of unlimited

Uptime.com hinders their users with limited use of some of the most essential elements of observability - the number of users, status pages, and dashboards. If you want unlimited users, you'll have to fork out the big bucks and opt for their Premium, $379 per month plan. Even then, dashboards and status pages are still heavily limited.

Sematext offers unlimited users with any plan, unlimited status pages with the Pro plan, and unlimited dashboards with all RUM plans. We find it much easier to collaborate, share, and visualize when you aren't limited to just a few users, status pages, or dashboards.

Real end-to-end visibility

Uptime.com provides limited observability, offering only Synthetic Monitoring and Real User Monitoring. These features focus on surface-level monitoring, which may not provide sufficient insights into your entire stack.

Sematext offers more comprehensive monitoring capabilities. In addition to Synthetic Monitoring and Real User Monitoring, it also provides Log Monitoring and Infrastructure Monitoring. This allows users to not only receive alerts for issues like failed API checks but also investigate the root cause through log analysis, a feature that Uptime.com lacks.

No false positives

One of the common complaints about Uptime.com is the amount of false positives - alerts that tell you that your site is down when in fact it is not. Sometimes these situations happen due to temporary network glitches, but they certainly are inconvenient. Sematext's Consecutive runs solves this exact problem. When this is enabled, if your monitor fails, Sematext will run that monitor again immediately, up to N times - configurable by you - and alert you only if all those checks fail.

Sleek and Efficient UI

Sematext's user interface is designed with simplicity and clarity in mind. Log in, quickly access the information you need, and seamlessly continue with your tasks without missing a beat. Connect related apps and view them in a split-screen overview to streamline troubleshooting and enhance your troubleshooting capabilities.

Just looking at the default graphs it was clear I can reduce my serverless resource usage on Vercel by 90%, by reducing the allocated memory. Sematext simply turns your logs into actionable data, out of the box. Costs, performance, it’s all there.

I must say very personal service and a great product! I like the simplicity of the setup and how quick and responsive is the UI. It is like it was created from sys admins for sys admins.

Sematext Logs provides us with a flexible, extensible, and reliable means of monitoring all of our environments in real-time.

We looked into running our own Elastic Stack, and quickly realized that was a job and specialty within itself. We are a small startup and every dollar counts. Wasting precious and expensive sysadmin time on managing things far out of our project scope really isn’t an option
