    Considered Both Products
    New Relic
    Chose New Relic
    New Relic and pingdom has the capability to monitor many parameters of the customers but New Relic has more products integrated into the app itself

    Chose New Relic
    There's nothing like New Relic. pingdom has an APM module but it lacks the detail of New Relic. Datadog's strength is measuring the hosting infrastructure rather than the app itself. Sometime you need APM to see what your app is doing.

    Solarwinds was good until they migrated to a new kind of offering and discounting the old product making it more expensive and less flexible for our specific use-case.

    Chose SolarWinds Pingdom
    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 …

    Chose SolarWinds Pingdom
    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 …

    Pingdom is best at what it does: simple uptime checks.
