TBS Infrastructure vs UptimeRobotan honest comparison
UptimeRobot is a popular, well-priced tool for checking that websites are up. TBS Infrastructure checks websites too, but is built for a wider job: the health of your cloud and office servers, backups you can prove, and a tested recovery plan. Here is where each one is stronger.

Uptime checks vs the whole server picture
An uptime tool answers one question very well: can people reach my website right now? That is important, and UptimeRobot does it from many locations at short intervals.
TBS Infrastructure answers more questions for companies that run their own servers: Is the disk filling up? Did last night's backup run — and does it really restore? If the server is lost tomorrow, what is the plan, and has it been tested? Is anyone sending fake email in our name? TBS Infrastructure puts the answers on one screen for cloud and office servers.

Where UptimeRobot is stronger
Questions
Is TBS Infrastructure a replacement for UptimeRobot?
For many companies yes — it includes website, port, heartbeat, SSL and domain checks. If you need checks from several countries, intervals below 1 minute or SMS / voice alerts, UptimeRobot is stronger there.
Does TBS Infrastructure have a free plan?
No. You can try the live demo with a sample company and use the free domain health check, both without signing up.
Can TBS Infrastructure monitor servers in my office?
Yes. The agent runs on Linux and Windows servers on-premises, and the office collector watches devices such as a NAS or firewall.
Where is TBS Infrastructure hosted?
In Finland (EU) by default. Other regions can be agreed for larger customers.
