The best experience with Synthetic Tests in the market!
What do you like best about the product?
Checkly is extremely versatile and complete, with it the quality team can actively support Shift Right Testing through automated scripts being executed recurrently. A modern tool for API monitoring and front-end testing that combines the best of both worlds: test automation with Playwright in addition to continuous API monitoring. It allows testing applications easily and efficiently, with quick alerts via Slack, email, Opsgenie, and more. With test execution from different global regions, it is perfect for ensuring everything works well for users anywhere. The direct integration with CI/CD pipelines and an intuitive interface make Checkly a practical choice for development teams that value stability and performance.
Now we can post-deploy in production have an execution ensuring feature availability, our best experience is coding and managing automated web tests with Playwright.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like an integration with Gitlab as a code repository, even though we have code snippets in some cases it is not possible to approach it this way, generating code duplication.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Availability of features. Here at frete.com, we use it to test micro journeys, thus ensuring that third parties (marketing) or even deployments from our team do not impact the final experience.
Reliable Monitoring for All My Web Applications
What do you like best about the product?
I love Checkly’s real-time alerts and the ease of setting up complex synthetic tests. It has simplified monitoring for my team's applications, and the intuitive dashboard helps us stay on top of performance issues effortlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, the integration with certain third-party services can be tricky. I’d also appreciate a more customizable alert system, especially for handling non-critical incidents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Checkly, we faced frequent downtime issues that took hours to identify and resolve. Now, our team gets immediate alerts, enabling us to take action within minutes, which has significantly improved our service reliability.
Developer friendly and forward looking monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Rock solid, developer friendliness and forward looking product developent, especially the advances in "monitoring as code"
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard/status page and incident /planned maintenance functionality could be more feature rich, to provide better communication to end users during downtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of our web sites and end-to-end functionality in production environment, running on fully independent infrastructure.
We have close to zero false alarms, so Checkly monitoring gives us a very very good picture of how real and users are experiencing our sites.

Nice CI/CD Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to implement and have clear documentation. Work well with the majority of platforms. It is integrated into my majority of projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has its learning curve for adding advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It made my Devops easy and saved me lots of time.
A disrupter in QA space.
What do you like best about the product?
Checkly has given me so much free time to think about the actualy qa automation scenarios instead of worring and managing the runtime servers and reporters. It has revolutionalized monitoring for me and integrated it with playwright so qa can run their automation suits and monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing really. checkly has been literally a life saves for small teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Hosting my playwright automation suite
- Hosting my API automation suit
- Hosting my monitoring tests
- Keeping a well maintained UI to get historical and future trend analysis

Provides great security for deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up and connect with deployments via Vercel - provides really great assurance that a deploy is safe.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limits on use are pretty strict so we can't run full suites on every push, only on prod dpeloys.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use checkly to check our prod UI deployments before they go out, by completing key user flows. We don't have a lot of unit tests so this is a great way to easily test a broad range of functionality.

Monitoring Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Playwright is very easy to understand and that I can build and deploy checks in code and deploy via our pipelines. Gives a great audit trail for all changes and allows easy rollbacks if we mess up a test. it didn't take us long to deploy and start working from code as well
The UI for the most part is sleek and allowing filtering on tags allows us to organise our tests accordingly.
Customer support has been great so far, we have used slack for most of our communication with them but will occassionally have service calls with them.
Checkly is used daily within my team and we've even adopted using the synthetic monitoring to power our Statuspage via PagerDuty.
Checkly are very open to feedback we've found so far especially around suggesting new features.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some elements of the UI could see some improvement, specifically for me around clicking into errors. I would also prefer it if we could see a video of the last successful test run before a failure for additional context. We have raised this and I believe it is being worked on.
My other biggest gripe is reporting, however this scenario is likely limited to how we as a team operate. Currently we can only get 4 hours worth of reporting though we have some custom scripts that allow us to pull 24h worth of data for our morning report as we like to discuss test failures in our daily morning meetings.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthetic monitoring to simulate user journies on our website as well as checking our APIs are up and running, as well as recently powering our statuspage to report any downtime in our API suite. It is one tool in our plethora of monitoring we use
Versatile and Responsive
What do you like best about the product?
They updated and deployed code changes on the fly to include parameters that we wanted for certain checks. They also have very generous plans that are adjustable for the types of checks you need. It's also nice to have the option to use cmd line or a UI, and is extremely customizeable.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are on the West Coast, which means they are sleeping while we are starting the day. We haven't had an emergency, but it's good to know that there's a time difference for live support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now, we have basic checks set up to monitor that applications are up. We are moving to check functionality, but for now, it gives us a good view of things that may be happening when we are focused on other things.
Limited Alert Options Leave Me Guessing
What do you like best about the product?
Admiring the simplicity of site control with Checkly is an amazing feel. I easily write insumeritible checks and set them to run at a recurrent pace. This lets me have a finger on the website's pulse, enabling me detect problems that could otherwise have an impact on users.
What do you dislike about the product?
At some junctions, I experience frustration as I notice that there are very limited alert options. I find myself limited in terms of customizing alert alerts for some site complex examinations. I could be ignoring therefore, crucial notifications or getting flooded into by the irrelevant ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checkly has been a savior here so that it has captured the website downtime and performance issues due to affect my customers beforehand. It's an action plan that helps me avoid conflicts and keep my site operation unhindered.
