Sarah Kulp
Director of software operations at Informz
I wanted a new feature in Site24x7 APM Insight and guess what? Its done. I was not used to working with companies that actually deliver what they say they would, but Site24x7 is different! A big thanks for putting customers first.
Kieren Dowding
CTO, Your Phones Covered
We use Site24x7 to alert us to slow servers as well as outages of the server. We are aware of server issues before the client is aware of it – which is invaluable to building a strong client relationship. I have not seen anything else that gives us the breadth of monitoring points that we need. Site24x7 gives us great insight.
Rick Pearson
Director at The Ripe Group
Site24x7 gives us deep visibility into critical performance parameters of our resources and helps us stay on top of issues. The all-in-one dashboard gives us one console visibility without the need of shifting to multiple monitoring devices to get complete insights. Ease of use and affordable pricing are factors that impressed me about Site24x7.
