The biggest difference is in the way we handle checks inside AWS. When you add our EC2 Instance we automatically discover your infrastructure and track changes. When you create health checks for groups and other dynamic AWS resources (ELBs,

Hi, I'm Steve and I run product at Opsee. There are a few important differences: 1. The rich assertion language in Opsee means we're checking for more than availability - we're looking for correct responses too. This makes us
