View comparisonWhy teams look for alternatives
The most common reasons teams switch to Crowswatch.
Coverage that stops at uptime
Most monitoring answers whether a site responded. It has nothing to say about your domains, your email authentication, your certificates, the cloud apps your team signed up for, or the devices they work on.
No sense of what sits behind what
A provider degrades and you are left working out whether it reaches you. Crowswatch knows which parts of your estate depend on which providers, so the question is answered before you ask it.
Alerts that fire on everything
Without a baseline, a tool can only tell you a check failed. Crowswatch records what normal looks like first, so it can tell you something has actually changed.
Built for teams that have a security function
The platforms that cover this properly assume a security team, a procurement cycle and a deployment project. Crowswatch assumes none of the three, which is also why it costs a fraction of them.
