## The panel's verdict

Site24x7 is Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd.'s uptime monitoring suite, judged here for website, SSL and cron monitoring and its StatusIQ status pages. The bench is strongest on automation and teams, resting on a documented REST API with OAuth 2.0 and granular scopes, eight user roles, and separate MSP and Business Unit APIs for multi-client administration, and on checks and locations, where one-minute intervals, URL-sequence and real-browser checks on Firefox and Chrome, and dedicated SSL-certificate and cron pages are documented. It is weakest on status pages, reports and reliability and pricing transparency: no captured page describes status-page capabilities, uptime or SLA reports, or a price figure, even though a pricing page was captured. The judges split on near-absent evidence — the SaaS Platform Engineer scored status pages 3 for StatusIQ appearing in the lineup, while the five others scored 0 — and independently report no public information on probe locations, second-location alert confirmation, escalation policies or on-call schedules. Sovereignty scores sit at 4 with no spread.

**Speaks for it:**
- Automation and teams scores run 5-6 on a documented REST API with OAuth 2.0, granular scopes, an API inspector and eight named user roles
- Separate MSP and Business Unit APIs let one organisation manage multiple client accounts, which judges called genuine multi-client administration
- Check intervals reach one minute for URL-sequence, real-browser, SMTP, homepage and FTP monitors, with Firefox and Chrome browser checks and IPv6 monitoring
- Alert channels are documented as email, SMS, voice call, IM and Twitter, with SMS via Clickatell, BulkSMS or Twilio and voice calls via Twilio
- A Europe data centre is listed among ten regions, with a Model Contractual Clauses-based data processing addendum available on request and 72-hour breach notification stated

**Held against it:**
- No price figure is confirmed — the captured pricing page states no tier prices, monitor or seat counts, or SMS and call charges
- Reports and reliability scores sit at 0-2, with the only reporting trace a 'reports' permission among API scopes and no uptime or SLA reports, retention or export documented
- Status page capability is undocumented beyond the StatusIQ name — no captured page describes custom domains, components, subscriber notifications or incident updates
- We found no public information on probe locations, on failures being confirmed from a second location before an alert, or on escalation policies and on-call schedules
- Subprocessors are described only as assessed, with no names or locations published, and we found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification

**Best for:**
- You run an agency or MSP and need to monitor many client accounts from one place — Business Unit and MSP APIs, a Hosting Provider role and eight user roles support it
- You administer monitoring through code — the REST API with OAuth 2.0, granular scopes and versioning is documented
- You watch multi-step user flows rather than single pages — URL-sequence and real-browser checks on Firefox and Chrome run at intervals down to one minute
- You want SMS and voice-call alerts and already operate accounts with Clickatell, BulkSMS or Twilio, since those gateways are customer-configured

**Avoid if:**
- You must compute an annual cost before committing — the captured pricing page confirms no tier price, seat cost or per-message SMS and call charge
- You need a customer-facing status page now — only the StatusIQ name appears, with its capabilities undocumented in the captured pages
- You need documented alert accuracy — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your compliance review requires named subprocessors or security certifications — subprocessors are described only as assessed, and we found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The Agency Developer** (v1.0): Runs hosting and maintenance at a fifteen-person web agency with sixty client sites on WordPress, TYPO3 and Shopware. Has learned about an expired certificate from a client's angry phone call once and does not want a second time. Wants HTTP, keyword, SSL and domain expiry checks set up in bulk, client groups with their own status pages and monthly uptime reports, and a price per monitor that still works at two hundred monitors.
- **The SaaS Platform Engineer** (v1.0): Platform engineer at a forty-person B2B SaaS in Berlin, one of four people on the on-call rotation. Wants multi-step API checks with assertions, kept in Terraform next to the services they test, failures confirmed from a second location before anyone is woken, phone calls and escalation when an alert is not acknowledged, and a status page that updates without someone logging in at 3 a.m.
- **The Customer Support Lead** (v1.0): Leads a support team of nine at a software company whose customers are tax advisers and payroll offices. During the last outage the team answered three hundred tickets that all asked the same question. Wants a status page on the company's own domain with components customers recognise, incident templates, subscribers notified by email, a private page for the largest accounts, and an uptime history they can point to in a contract renewal.
- **The E-Commerce Operations Manager** (v1.0): Runs operations for an online shop selling garden furniture in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with half the year's revenue between March and June. The homepage once answered 200 while the checkout threw an error for six hours. Wants the checkout and the payment page checked, not only the homepage, an SMS or call to whoever is on duty that night, and a report that shows the agency what the downtime cost.
- **The Information Security Officer** (v1.0): Information security officer at a mid-sized logistics company that falls under NIS2 and is working towards ISO 27001. Needs every outage recorded with detection time, response and resolution, in a form an auditor accepts. Reads the subprocessor list before the feature page, because the on-call staff's mobile numbers and the status page subscribers are personal data, and wants single sign-on and an audit log before anyone gets a login.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "30-second checks from 20 locations" that paged the whole team for a single probe's network glitch, a status page that went down with the product it reported on, and "unlimited SMS" with a fair-use clause on page nine. Asks how a failure is confirmed, how long the history is kept and whether it can be exported, where the monitor itself publishes its own outages — and what leaving would cost.
