Thanks! It's wonderful to hear that the thing our team worked harder on than anything else is appreciated :)

The biggest difference is in the way we handle checks inside AWS. When you add our EC2 Instance we automatically discover your infrastructure and track changes. When you create health checks for groups and other dynamic AWS resources (ELBs, RDS, ECS, etc...) we track membership and automatically update your checks with no maintenance.

Hi, I'm Steve and I run product at Opsee. There are a few important differences: 1. The rich assertion language in Opsee means we're checking for more than availability - we're looking for correct responses too. This makes us more useful for checking APIs, since services can fail and still return a 200 2. We're measuring round-trip time for every check - Pingdom charges a lot more for this than their standard checks 3. Usability. Our integrations with Slack and Pagerduty are really simple to set up, our UI is responsive and well...better 4. We can also health check inside your AWS environment when you add our EC2 Instance, giving you more complete coverage. We actually do a lot of cool stuff inside AWS.
