I was on the lookout for a monitoring tool, as I manage quite a bit of websites as a web developer.

I was looking at established alternatives, however each and every one of them had a problem I could not get over - separating the websites into different organizations/groups. Then I saw a Facebook post about Robot.alp.

I went over to Appsumo to give it a checkout, and was blown away. It had everything I wanted and more:

- Organizations for better management
- Unlimited monitors (Tier 4)
- Different type of monitors for every occasion: http, api, ssl, dns and much more. And it even has a monitor for the ever important Google pagespeeds, what more could I ask for?

So I decided to take the plunge and bought the product. And boy was I satisfied. The moment I registered, I got an email from the founder, Ercument, Inviting me to ask him anything I want and join the community. When I answered and asked something, I got a reply at FTL speeds (nerd warning :)).

When I delved some more into the system, I recognized the status pages feature, which is so much better than just monitoring. Making a status page and giving a client some peace of mind where one could see everything is fine with their systems - priceless.

But it was not over yet. About a day (yes, that is how much development is active) I noticed Ercument added translations to the status page. So i just sent him a small request to see if he would be open for adding translation into my language, so I can give clients an even better experience. Not only did he agree, but I already received a request for translations. How awesome is that?

The things I mentioned above are some of the features Robot.alp has, and there are even more that I have yet to investigate, and more still are added by the day. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who needs to monitor websites, this is one of the best tools I used for this scenario and it is still new!

Ercument, thank you for developing and sharing with us your generosity here on Appsumo, I am sure the service is going places, and I am excited to be part of the journey :)
