Advice on PagerDuty, Cronitor
Detailed Comparison
PagerDuty is an alarm aggregation and dispatching service for system administrators and support teams. It collects alerts from your monitoring tools, gives you an overall view of all of your monitoring alarms, and alerts an on duty engineer if there's a problem. | Monitoring systems are often complex and require a strong sysadmin background to properly configure and maintain. Cronitor replaces all this with a simple service that anyone can set up. Receive email/sms notifications if your jobs don't run, run too slow, or finish too quickly. |
Alerting that works (and wakes you up)- When your systems go down, PagerDuty will wake you up. You choose how you want to be alerted - via phone, SMS or email, to multiple numbers, with retries.;Integrate all your existing monitoring tools- PagerDuty works great with almost all monitoring tools including: Nagios (and Icinga), Keynote, New Relic, Pingdom, Circonus, Red Gate SQL Monitor, Server Density, Zenoss, Monit, Munin, SolarWinds and many others. If it can send email, it will work with PagerDuty.;Native apps with push notifications- iOS and Android native apps with push notifications and a cross-platform mobile website ensure you can respond to alerts wherever you are, even on the go.;On-call duty scheduling- Easily set up schedules to fairly share on-call duty responsibilities with your team.;Automatic escalation of alerts- If you're paged but don't respond in time, the alert is auto-escalated to a team member. Ensures nothing slips through the cracks - ever.;Reliable, distributed architecture- PagerDuty's infrastructure is fully replicated in multiple data centers, with fast failover when problems occur.;Works internationally (Yes, really!)- Phone alerts can be delivered to over 170 countries and territories; SMS alerts are available virtually world-wide. (Is my country included?) | Constant Monitoring - Our monitoring and alerting system is robust, so yours doesn't have to be.
Get alerts the minute something goes wrong with your scheduled job.
Integrates Anywhere - Tracking is just an http request. Add it to your bash, python, php, java scripts etc. |
