In May 2025, several widely used platforms experienced outages affecting both enterprise and consumer services.

Here are five major outages StatusGator detected in May.

In May 2025, several EdTech platforms experienced service disruptions, impacting students, educators, and administrators. StatusGator’s Early Warning Signals feature once again provided timely alerts — often before the affected providers posted updates. Here are the top five EdTech outages detected by StatusGator in May.

We’ve just rolled out an exciting enhancement to our Early Warning Signals system: Possible outages that we detect are now visible directly in your Admin board and on your public Status Page. Until now, we’ve notified StatusGator users about possible outages via email — and more recently, Slack — when we detected signs of an outage before any official acknowledgment. Now, these early warnings appear right where they’re most impactful.

StatusGator supports custom email branding on our Enterprise plan and as an add-on to other plans, allowing your customers or end-users to get an email that has your organization logo and sends from your organization’s email address. Previously, this email logo used the same image as your status page. Now, you can upload a custom logo to be used just for your emails. Enjoy improved branding by uploading a logo that fits the email perfectly.

We’re excited to announce that Early Warning Signals are now available in Slack! Early Warning Signals help you detect service disruptions before they’re officially reported. Now, these critical notifications will show up directly in your Slack workspace, keeping your team in the loop without having to check your email.

According to the 2024 State of SaaSOps report, organizations now use an average of 112 SaaS applications. That’s 112 potential points of failure. Manually checking or subscribing to each of those status pages is not scalable. Even small teams often rely on 30+ services spanning infrastructure, communication, payments, and security. A status page aggregator like StatusGator consolidates service statuses from hundreds or even thousands of providers into a single, unified view.
