StatusGator has a wide a variety of use cases: from education to help desk to IT and managed services and DevOps, too. All corners of an organization depend on cloud services and StatusGator gives you visibility into the status of all of your vendors. We’ve heard over and over from our DevOps users that alerts and notifications for their teams are already centralized into a single incident management platform such as OpsGenie, PagerDuty, or FireHydrant.
It’s no secret, we love favicons (short for “favorites icon”) here at StatusGator. Our aggregated status dashboards and status pages feature the favicons of all the services you depend on, aiding in recognition. Favicons are shown when you bookmark, or add a site to your favorites. And, more importantly, they are shown in the tabs of your browser. Now, your own StatusGator aggregated status page can have a custom favicon, too!
In the first 3 months of 2022, we’ve deployed 242 updates to StatusGator. As our growth has accelerated, we have become the platform relied upon by thousands to gain visibility into their vendors’ service statuses. Today, we’re announcing several big new features you may have seen trickle in over the last few weeks.
StatusGator is a status page aggregator: We bring together the status of all of your vendors into a single status page you can share with your team. Now, you can override the status of any service on your page to reflect exactly what you want it to. There are two opposite use cases for this feature: When a service is experiencing an outage and it’s not reflected on their status page. Or when an outage posted on their page is not affecting you and your team.
StatusGator status pages are a unique way to consolidate the status of all of your vendors on a single page. Reduce support ticket volume by publishing your status page to your team or users. Now you can publish a message to the top of your status page for even more effective communication. Use this space for maintenance notifications, highlighting critical outages, or explaining your page to your users.
One year ago we launched what would become our most popular feature yet: a page you could publish with your name and logo that aggregated the status of all of your cloud vendors. We called it a “public dashboard” because it did not require a StatusGator account to view, and it published your StatusGator dashboard for your entire team. We’ve now renamed this feature a “status page” and made it even more accessible inside of StatusGator. Why the change? Read on.
For more than 7 years, StatusGator has monitored the world’s status pages and aggregated the status of more than 1,000 cloud services into custom dashboards. With a quick glance, you can see the status of every service you depend on. But what if a website you depend on does not have a status page? What about internal tools, sites you host yourself, and other services without public status information?

StatusGator’s Slack integration is one of our most popular features. Our users love getting real time notifictations of outages from all the cloud services they depend on. Plus, with a few quick clicks you can check the status of any service you monitor on StatusGator, using our /statuscheck slash command. Now, you can also get the status of all the services in your StatusGator dashboard with one quick command: /statuscheck list. This will list every service on your dashboard.
Since the pandemic struck, education has moved even further online. Many schools are now actively transforming their programs to ensure uninterrupted remote education of high quality. This means device deployments have commonly grown to 1-to-1 — every student now has a laptop. At the same time, budget constraints don’t allow buying subscription plans for all the software schools and educational institutions need. Sounds familiar?
