Currently rely on statuspage.io and it’s critical for me. I’m struggling to parse if there’s any unique offerings compared to statuspage.io. Is there anything I’m missing?

I’m especially focused on the UI for the posting of a status page update. As our business offers multiple services and some can go down while others stay up. It can be cumbersome to deal with multiple data centers and services.

statuspage.io relies on third-party services for monitoring, while Hexadecimal provides monitoring in-house. That way you don't have to juggle between two services.

Status updates (both automatic and manual) is a feature I'll be shipping next. With manual updates, you'll be able to post them either via a Web UI or a Slack bot.
