Our Verdict

Reliable legacy synthetic monitoring at fair prices; functional but uninspired compared to modern alternatives.

Pros

  • Multi-browser synthetic scripting support
  • Affordable compared to Catchpoint or ThousandEyes
  • Includes API and SSL/DNS monitoring

Cons

  • UI dated relative to newer synthetic tools
  • Scripting editor less polished than Checkly
  • Limited APM or tracing depth
