Ratings and reviews

This service has been great for sending alerts for a ZFS pool in a homelab. A different push service failed to send alerts when the pool was degraded, so it was time for a change. Like others have mentioned, email alerts aren't reliable or timely. Pushover alerts have been instant. You can also create apps via Pushover with their own API tokens for separate services. Pushover also has an API hit count, unlike the previous push service that I used.
