It provides real-time monitoring of websites, applications and servers. It has a simple, effective dashboard and allows organizations to track how users interact with their websites and applications. It has user-friendly interface and has ease of setup. It also offers a mobile application enabling users to monitor performance and receive alerts on the go.

It could add more features like a detailed analysis of what went wrong when the app was unreachable and a detailed action-plan of what could be done to solve, specially in case of false positives on web server checks due to timeouts on hops along the way.

Pourquoi passer à Pingdom

Avantages

It's easy to use, has a good performance board that shows what grade the site got, its loading time, page size etc that helps to get a clear concept about website performance. Pingdom has a good functionality of downloading website reports har.json file. It's a very unique thing, I didn't get anything like this in other speed testing tools. Like other testing tools, Pingdom also shows how to improve the speed score of a website, this is a very important thing because every testing tool has its own algorithm.

Inconvénients

Like the other speed testing tool, Pingdom works similarly, there are no different and unique things on it that will bring me always to use this software. Even this tool is so hard, they show a lot of obstacles that often does not work as a reason for the website slow loading. There is some user experience problem in this tool. For example, after completing the scan, it not redirects me to the result section. Results show below of the hero section, no animation, no redirection nothing! It should perfectly represent the scan results.

Avantages

with Pingdom, we are monitoring our applications running on the production, and demo servers. It has multiple features that resulted in choosing this tool.

Inconvénients

it requires a little digging to get the most out of the tool.

Avantages

It's real-time alerts are a lifesaver. Once, it alerted me about my website being down, and I fixed the issue before it impacted many users.

Inconvénients

I found myself needing to limit the number of websites I could monitor within my budget.

Avantages

easy to implement and push notifications, SMS, and email notifications sent in real-time when problems are found.

Inconvénients

I did not find anything least of this . it is amazing . but I think price is some higher .

Avantages

We can monitor websites, server ping status, trace-route, website response code, ssl and also create alerts for the same. It also check the dns and provide the appropriate reason when url is down. Really helpful in production environment.

Inconvénients

It only works in public domain.For private IP or sub-net we need to configure in house monitoring tool.

Avantages

The global ping. When attempting to ping a certain host, it tries from multiple locations around the world and helps us isolate whether the issue is with a local provider or global.

Inconvénients

Page loading times. In rare cases, when no network fault is preventing access, page starts to load, then stops, and after this refreshes to a usable state. Also, the Root Cause per host sometimes tends to take a longer period for generation, which can lead to data insufficiency.

Avantages

With this we can keep our website always active as it monitors 24*7 and gives alert if any problem occurs.

Inconvénients

Till now i have not faced any issue.UI can be changed so it will make understand more easily.

Avantages

Pingdom is a monitoring service for websites, servers, applications, and services. They offer a free plan for anyone who wants to keep tabs on their website, blog, or even e-mail.

Inconvénients

I used Pingdom to monitor the performance of my website. It is easy to set up and provides useful information on the performance of my server.

Avantages

Me servía para controlar que las webs no estuvieran caídas y el tiempo de respuesta

Inconvénients

Desde hace unos años han hecho cambios que lo único que han conseguido es estropear el servicio. Además la app es un auténtico desastre.

Avantages

The interface makes it quite simple to create multi step transactional monitors.
There are a nice variety of options for alerting.

Inconvénients

They limit you to 25 steps in the transactional monitors. They do not allow atomic options for run frequency - you must use the preset values they have allotted.

Avantages

It allows you to keep your team in the loop about the more admin-related stuff that would normally be harder to understand.

Inconvénients

It takes a lot of getting used to and is not so simple to set it up in the first place - you got to struggle a little first.

Avantages

I love the uptime monitoring and the page speed monitoring. I run several websites as a small business with various arms and aims. Being able to see at a glance if any are down, what pages are dragging, and where improvements need to be made is a great help in figuring out where to devote time each day to solving the small issues that can cause big problems down the line.

Inconvénients

I really wish all paid plans offered unlimited websites, and there was a free plan for one website. As it stands, while I'm testing out the free trial period, I just can't see needing to pay the monthly price for an unlimited plan in order to keep an eye on all my websites this way, when as a sole proprietor, my budget is stretched as is. While this is a great tool, it's sadly just not cost effective for most small businesses.

Avantages

Pingdom is monitoring my websites, I get alerts whenever anything goes wrong so I can take action before if effects my visitors.

Avantages

It is a really feature rich website monitoring tool. It notifies about down times and slow periods by e-mail and sms. So I can make action when necessary immediately. Security and continuous uptime with reasonable speed are both crucial part of any web-based service. This tool helps me monitor any error about speed and availability. It performs a page speed test also and provide real time visitor monitoring. With the help of the Pingdom API, it can be customised and automated.

Inconvénients

Pingdom offers really more than I expected, so I cannot know any problem or negative element about it.

Avantages

I most likely won't even be able to describe how much I like Pingdom. I've used it for many years. Started with a free version and expanded to paid subscriptions. It's always great to know what's going on with your network, when you're not around. Setting up monitoring alerts for specific services allows to decrease downtime and be on top of outages (means, you're a superhero). I've had situations so many time, when you come in in the morning, and a website has been down for several hours. With Pingdom, that's no longer a case. You get notified immediately!

Inconvénients

Can't think of anything. It's so simple and intuitive, even a caveman can do it. Love the mobile app option

Avantages

This is the go to product for uptime monitoring. Its ease of use for server and website uptime monitoring makes it an easy choice. You can extend the services to carry out transaction monitoring if you need to but the main offering is excellent. We have been using it for over 10 years.

Inconvénients

Nothing to speak of, I really can't think of anything that I don't like.

Avantages

This is a great piece of monitoring software that has a well designed interface. This has been our go to tool for monitoring site down issues, and high priority system outages. It is easy to configure all types of standard checks, from the 200 check to string checks and more. You can tell at a glance what is up but more importantly what is NOT up. We use this as a monitoring system for hundreds and hundreds of sites and systems, we also have this feed into other tools such as our ticket system to automatically create and update tickets.

Inconvénients

Performance has started to suffer as the number of monitored items grows. We now monitor more than a thousand unique items and it is started to take a long time to load individual items, not to mention the overview. This is starting to cause some frustration, I am not sure if Pingdom will continue to scale with us, however we would like it to. Sometimes we have false positive alerts, however this is usually due to configuration issue and not a fault of Pingdom.

Avantages

Pingdom is a super easy-to-use tool for web application load testing. It helps us analyze the performance of our website or application by simulating the traffic and load from thousands of users. Pingdom can be used to check the performance of a single page or the full site, and we can even test our application in different browsers.

Inconvénients

I can check the uptime and response time of my website. I like that I can add projects and monitor several websites at once.

Avantages

Pingdom is easy to use. The UI is clean and there are tons of features.

Inconvénients

Pingdom gets expensive quick if you monitor microservices.

Avantages

Pingdom will help you to monitor your website and keep track of when it goes down. You can set the interval when to check your website. You can see details report of delay from many servers. It will send you mail/SMS when the site goes down so you can take a look at what happens.
I love to the page speed tool, which shows how can I improve my page speed and finetune with the server.

Inconvénients

Price is a little expensive for these tools. Sometimes gives a false alert when comparing with other. Sometimes it fails to check downtime, which happens once a week or two.

Avantages

I love being able to see at a quick scan what elements on specific pages can cause for example loading issues. This allows me to see dead links or even things I may need to optimize to decrease page load times.

Inconvénients

I wish it had the ability to tell you in html/css what elements on the page the items came from.

Avantages

Reliable , detection is immediately.
Allows to configure the checks according to the request/response needed.

Inconvénients

Root cause reports are sometimes poor and don't provide the needed information.
No special improvements in the past 2 years.
Recurring alerts don't get automatic detection as known issue and it cause harressing messages until issue resolved.

Avantages

We love the fact that we can set up instant email alerts if any of our sites experience downtime. The site speed function is quite useful too when it comes to optimising sites and their load time.

Inconvénients

It's not the cheapest service which could put some people off, but it really is worth the money in our view.

Avantages

What makes this tool stand out from other ones out there is that it provides an easy way to monitor website performance and get alerts.

Inconvénients

It may take some time to get used to the tool itself. Plus, the price can be a big con if you're looking for something inexpensive.
