How IsDown compares to DownDetector when monitoring Microsoft Office 365?

IsDown and DownDetector help users determine if Microsoft Office 365 is having problems. The big difference is that IsDown is a status page aggregator. IsDown monitors a service's official status page to give our customers a more reliable source of information instead of just relying on reports from users. The integration allows us to provide more details about Microsoft Office 365's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
