## Reviews

### "Great monitoring tool" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *19 August 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Replaces several services with one integrated offering. Really good for PHP based frameworks like Laravel and CraftCMS but can work with anything. Love the regular Lighthouse reports to monitor ,movements in front-end performance over time.
> 
> **Cons**: I've had some weird false positives but to be honest it happens with all monitoring applications. It's also a little pricey but you get what you pay for :)
> 
> Great tool written by a well-respected software house. I have over 100 websites monitored on it and it works well.

### "Worth every penny." — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *18 December 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pricing for the sheer amount of features you get is very good.
> 
> **Cons**: No mobile version of the dashboard is a minor flaw for me, but willing to look past it considering the use case.
> 
> The best. Never had any issues with Oh Dear, and will continue to use them for a long time.

### "Great tool and rewarding new work for my customers." — 5.0/5

> **André** | *10 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great Tools beside the default monitoring service. Customer support is good. Nice User Interface. I could get out metrics to present to my customers and was rewarded with new efforts they pay for.
> 
> **Cons**: To control a URL with different languages. Maybe I miss the right configuration or guidance to do so.
> 
> Good options to skip certain alerts, which are may not of itnerest at a moment. Ways to snooze or even skip alerts when maintenance is on. So its customizable but not too overwhelming with just tons of preferences.

### "They failed to raise to their own expectation" — 2.0/5

> **Rus** | *12 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The quality of their work and the number of features. Their app is modern.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes their app would have a hiccup, causing a false positive. But the most annoying thing is that a monitoring tool like this cannot monitor a domain expiration date.
> 
> The overall experience with Oh Dear was ok, but I could not monitor a few domains because of them. One of my domains expired because they failed to notify me.&#10;I wanted to scale my account as I have many domains. Their support was there, but they never implemented a domain expiration date. Their website message is: "The TLD of your site isn't supported for the domain check. You can view the  supported TLDs in our docs.".&#10;Their competitors can do what they can't. That made me jump ships. Now, ALL my domains are monitored.

### "Great monitoring platform with useful client-facing features" — 5.0/5

> **Anthony** | *16 March 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Everything works as expected: reliable alerts, flexible configuration and a clean status page&#10;It covers all the essentials for solid website monitoring.
> 
> **Cons**: Pricing could be more accessible for smaller projects or freelancers, but the value for money is still good overall
> 
> Great experience overall&#10;Oh Dear makes website monitoring simple and reliable&#10;Alerts work perfectly, settings are flexible and the status page is a nice touch for client communication
