Technology and features
When it comes to monitoring tools, some core functions can be assessed among all the solutions on the market:
If Monitoring by HTTPCS and Uptrends support servers and applications, the two solutions differ on some features.
Uptrends runs all of its tests across 203 checkpoints. However, the fact that checks are performed at a local level is a disadvantage because all the data centers are not used. The Uptrends solution can be used up to 4 people per subscription, and the check frequency varies from 1 to 60 minutes.
For both solutions, the number of users is unlimited.
Just like HTTPCS, Monitis handles web applications monitoring as well as servers, with an every minutes (customizable) check frequency.
HTTPCS, thanks to its exclusive “Virtual Browser” technology, provides a very simple tool to record monitoring scenarios (transaction monitoring tool) with no technical skill required. The scenarios are automatically replayed every 15 minutes by a real browser, and are manually re-playable at any time.
Therefore, HTTPCS has a real technological advantage over Uptrends that does not offer this monitoring scenario feature which is yet essential to ensure the functioning of your websites (retail websites, CMS, business web applications, SaaS applications).
Monitoring by HTTPCS offers 50 checkpoints for its tests, but unlike Uptrends, they are performed throughout the world and not only in a specific regional area. Regarding the test depth, a print or a proof must be set up to make them more accurate.
The collected data is useful to make statistical studies for a company. A long-term data storage is therefore a considerable asset. If Uptrends only keeps its user’s data from 14 days to 2 years depending on its importance, HTTPCS stores it for an unlimited period.

Notifications
When an anomaly is detected and identified by the monitoring tool, alerting the user is a key step in the process. It is now possible to set up automatic alerts to be notified of an irregularity in real time.
Monitoring by HTTPCS and Uptrends include this feature in their web monitoring tool by sending text messages and e-mail alerts. Uptrends stands out with its alert system available by integration. This feature is also available on HTTPCS monitoring.
HTTPCS' strength is the unlimited text alerts. Uptrends, on the other hand, only has 240 alerts per month included in its plan.

Monitoring by HTTPCS stands out with Machine Learning. HTTPCS disrupts the market by letting its robot, through data analysis, report situations that can lead to security incidents. The clever robot is autonomous and sets up a new strategy at each audit to report new vulnerabilities.
