Frequently Asked Questions

Does Opsgenie include its own monitoring?

Opsgenie only provides heartbeat monitoring. For full HTTP/HTTPS uptime monitoring, you still need a separate tool. HowlOps includes both HTTP and heartbeat monitoring out of the box.

Does Opsgenie have status pages?

No. Opsgenie does not offer public status pages. HowlOps includes white-label status pages with component groups and incident history on all paid plans.

Is HowlOps a good Opsgenie alternative for EU companies?

Yes. HowlOps stores all data in the EU, making GDPR compliance straightforward. Opsgenie (Atlassian) does not offer dedicated EU data residency on standard plans.
