## Reviews

### "Great way to monitor your website and what is going on with it." — 5.0/5

> **Coletta** | *13 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is great because it will alert you when and if your website is having issues and goes down. I like this because I have had a bad experience when a website went down and I had no idea.  This causes the company to lose income and look bad online.
> 
> **Cons**: I like that the texts come through, but it seems to be a bot off and takes a few minutes to send the website issue alerts, Maybe I had the notifications set wrong, not sure but it seemed to be a delay.

### "SMS Alerts are very expensive, rouge server caused large expenses that Alerta would not address" — 3.0/5

> **Brooks** | *25 June 2020* | Museums & Institutions | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to setup and monitor different services.
> 
> **Cons**: SMS costs are very expensive, which is very odd in this day of cheap messaging.  App does not work properly, does not push alerts.
