    At least during our investigation thus far, all of these companies have a more responsive support organization and are more actively maintaininbg and supporting their products. They are also all significantly more expensive.

    I have used Datadog's testing, and it is far more in-depth but more expensive. Pingdom was simple and easy to set up and very reliable, but Datadog had more advanced features but also cost a lot more and wasn't as simple to set up.

    Pingdom is the best for uptime as it's affordable and relatively simple but powerful enough. Other products offer other features.

    We have been with Pingdom since before it was SolarWinds Pingdom. It remains stable and solutions driven and has done so for many years. While it has many features we do not utilize, we are always looking to see which ones we can start to use when we have time. Some of the more …

    We have only used Pingdom for these needs, so I can't speak directly to competitors. That being said, for the reasons we used Pingdom it was fantastic value and the fact we never bothered to look for a competitor speaks volumes about our satisfaction with the product.

    We use a mixture of atlassian products and chose to use this at the beginning of 2020 when our org switched to full remote work posture. While it was nice having integration with opsgenie and our jira ticketing system it did not provide quite the mixture of flexibility and …

    1. PRTG Network Monitor was a far more complicated tool to use and set up albeit it does both Internal and External monitoring. The setup wasn't intuitive and there are too many configuration options to complete to form an alert
    2. Amazon CloudWatch is specific to AWS resources and …

    It is very suitable for our organization as metrics that it provides like disk space, CPU usage and availability of application, etc. And the main thing is it has good integration with OpsGenie and Jira Software so when our application is down or has any issue then we get a …

    Some of the products mentioned here are much more "holistic solutions" for monitoring, analyzing, logging, alerting, etc., but for the use case, we use SolarWinds Pingdom. I think that SolorWinds Pingdom is much simpler and friendlier for configuring and maintaining. We …

    we migrated from site 24x7 to pingdom because we have been facing issues with the monitoring and alerting. Our customers would reach out to us first rather than our monitoring tool notifying us that there is a problem. Its administration is also very complicated and compared to …

    We have looked into using New Relic Synthetics to achieve the same results we are achieving with Pingdom, ultimately Pingdom is significantly cheaper for essentially the same functionality.

    We selected SolarWinds Pingdom based on the feature set we desired, which was simply a monitoring solution for our websites and other critical network services. The decision to use SolarWinds Pingdom was based on the simplicity of their mobile app and website.

    Newrelic has some simple uptime monitoring but it has very unclear pricing, which depends on how often you ping. And for our needs the next pricing bracket was way too much, maybe 10x. This could make sense if we were going to use the other monitoring capabilities of NewRelic …
