Pingdom

Website and server monitoring service that combines synthetic checks with real user data to track availability and performance. Simulates visitor interactions from global probe locations and captures how actual visitors experience your site.

Trusted by over 850,000 users and companies such as Spotify, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Zendesk, and MailChimp. Pingdom runs checks from more than 100 locations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific, and performs billions of tests monthly. Part of the SolarWinds family since 2014, it integrates with AppOptics for infrastructure and APM and Loggly for log management when deeper stack visibility is needed.

Key capabilities:

• Uptime monitoring from 100+ global locations with customizable check intervals
• Page speed analysis to pinpoint bottlenecks by resource size and load time
• Transaction monitoring for critical flows, such as login, checkout, or registration
• Real user monitoring for device, browser, and geographic performance breakdown
• REST API, webhooks, and public status pages for automation and SLA reporting

Developers use it to catch downtime and performance regressions before users do, validate changes in production, and filter RUM data by geography or device when debugging. Marketing teams rely on it to protect campaigns and conversions from outages and slow pages. Hosting providers use sharable status pages and reports to prove SLA compliance and keep clients informed.
