Umami comparison
Umami alternative with analytics and uptime in one place
Umami is a solid analytics stack. A lot of teams still open UptimeRobot when they also care about outages. dumbledor puts pageviews, custom events, funnels, and HTTP monitors in one dashboard.
Is dumbledor a good Umami alternative?
Yes, if you want hosted analytics and uptime without a second tool. dumbledor covers pageviews, custom events, funnels, and HTTP monitors in one dashboard. Teams that need the MIT self-hosted build on their own hardware should still choose Umami.
