The only SMB monitoring platform with a least-privilege server agent, built-in security scanning, data residency options by default, and predictable pricing. No enterprise platform bills. No bill shock or cost creep.
Most tools do one thing. WatchTower15 combines external monitoring of domains, service checks from your own servers, deep server instrumentation and active security scanning. Give your team a single source of truth.
Know before your users do. External checks against your domains and SSL certificates every 60 seconds, and your services checked by your own servers, from inside your network.
Deploy in 30 seconds. The wt15-server-agent runs as its own non-root service user with two Linux capabilities, which it uses only for reading, such as process statistics, log files and disk usage.
Not just uptime. Built-in SSL/TLS analysis, DNS anomaly detection and domain expiry alerting give your team a security posture it can actually maintain. No SIEM required.
Every capability is standard out of the box. No paid add-ons, tiers, feature-locks, or separate licenses needed.
NoNewPrivileges=yes, ProtectSystem=strict and two Linux capabilities, named in our docs so your security review can weigh them. Installed as a service, the agent never runs as root, and no setuid binary can raise its privileges.
Your data lives in the region of your choice without extra configuration, extra cost, or a separate support tier. While market leaders gate EU residency behind a premium plan or increased rates we make it a given option for every customer. We currently cater to UK, EU, USA, Latam, and SE-Asia regions.
SSO and full audit logs are bundled in — no enterprise plan required. Other platforms charge for audit logs and SSO or gate them behind pricier tiers. WatchTower15 includes both from day one and without any additional costs involved.
SSL cert analysis, DNS anomaly detection and domain expiry alerts are built while other solutions only give you partial options. No other SMB uptime tool offers the full security-scan breadth WatchTower15 provides.
cgroup v2 makes /sys/fs/cgroup world-readable. WatchTower15 reads container CPU and memory stats without mounting the docker socket — which is root-equivalent access. Every competitor gates this behind privileged access.
Usage-metered per monitored resource. No per-seat multipliers. No per-feature paywalls. No data-residency tax. One predictable line item per month, however many users you have on the platform.
We stack up against the tools your team is most likely evaluating — from the SMB uptime players through to the full observability platforms.

A 10-server, 5-user, 5-domains, 10-services and 100GB logs with a comparable platform can easily exceed $1,300/mo with limited functionalities and even then surprise you with additional costs. WatchTower15 has a predictable pricing model.
