Pingdom

paid From $15/mo · Founded 2007 · cloud

Established uptime + page speed + RUM monitoring from SolarWinds — comprehensive but expensive.

What it does well

  • Global network of over 100 check locations provides geographically accurate uptime monitoring.
  • Page speed tests provide a detailed waterfall chart and actionable performance grades.
  • Combines synthetic checks and Real User Monitoring (RUM) in a single interface.

Where it falls short

  • Pricing is significantly higher than many competitors, especially for basic uptime checks.
  • No free tier is available for continuous monitoring, only one-off manual tests.
  • Alerting options can be less flexible than newer, developer-focused monitoring tools.
