Site24x7
Pros
- + Unusually broad coverage — websites, servers, networks, APM, RUM, logs, Kubernetes and cloud costs in one console
- + Published unit and add-on pricing at every tier, with hourly billing for cloud and app instances
- + Seven data-center regions including EU, India and UAE — real data-residency choice for SMBs
- + Transparent 99.9% service SLA with explicitly listed exclusions
- + Natural fit and shared support relationship for existing Zoho/ManageEngine customers
Cons
- - APM depth is capped (trace sampling, short span retention, Enterprise-gated features) versus Datadog/New Relic
- - Many metered units (monitors, logs, synthetics, devices, containers) make bills hard to forecast as estates grow
- - Pricing pages contradict each other (pack table vs Lite/Professional/Enterprise structure)
- - Classic support resolution targets are slow — 30 business days for Severity 1
Oh Dear
Pros
- + Every feature on every plan — no tiering of SSO, status pages, users, or API access
- + Two-location verification before firing alerts, which genuinely reduces false alarms
- + One site slot replaces uptime, SSL, broken-link, DNS, cron and Lighthouse tools at a predictable per-site price
- + EU-hosted (Belgium, ISO 27001 infrastructure) with full API and strong agency/reseller workflow
Cons
- - No free plan and no single-site tier below €15/month
- - Website/server monitoring only — no APM, metrics, logs, or host-level observability
- - Small vendor (2–10 people) with no published SLA for the monitoring service itself
- - Per-site cost is above bare uptime checkers; 200 sites costs €399/month
