Considered Both Products	HAProxy Fusion No answer on this topic	SolarWinds Pingdom Eric Kimminau Sr. Principal Engineer Chose SolarWinds Pingdom 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. Incentivized Helpful? Phil Barker CTO Chose SolarWinds Pingdom Uptime.com Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SolarWinds Pingdom I have used Datadog's testing, and it is far more in-depth but more expensive.

Incentivized Helpful? CP Chirantan Pandya Director Chose SolarWinds Pingdom Pingdom supports more monitoring features than other applications. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SolarWinds Pingdom 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 … Incentivized Helpful?

DW Daniel Wilkins Group Network Manager Chose SolarWinds Pingdom We did not evaluate other products, as we are already a SolarWinds customer, having used Orion for several years. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SolarWinds Pingdom PRTG Network Monitor was a far more complicated tool to use and set up albeit it does both Internal and External monitoring.

Raghav Gupta Associate Chose SolarWinds Pingdom 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Yaniv Vararu Director, Quality & Processes 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Fazal Azeem Implementation & Support Specialist Chose SolarWinds Pingdom we migrated from site 24x7 to pingdom because we have been facing issues with the monitoring and alerting.

User Testimonials
	HAProxy Fusion	SolarWinds Pingdom
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Pingdom is well suited to monitor any of your public facing IPs, so you receive an alert by text message or email when the IP you are monitoring does not respond for a given length of time, from an impressive 10ms to 30s. This allows you to be pretty granular with the alerting. It's less appropriate for monitoring IPs on your LAN, unless you NAT these through your firewall. Incentivized DW Daniel Wilkins Group Network Manager Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Alerting, particularly the integration with PagerDuty. Reporting: the ability to go back and view the history of each status check (including details about every failure) as well as graphs and reports over a longer time period. Weekly uptime report emails are very convenient. Programmatic configuration is possible with a third-party Terraform plugin. Incentivized RP Ryan Park Software Engineer Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	sometimes sends false alerts there should be some threshold value for when an application is not reachable, it should alert after 30 seconds and keep sending hello packets for those 30 seconds and if still there is no response, then it should send the alert. too many unwanted metrics.

Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Recently added features have made Pingdom less intuitive for our requirements. While Pingdom has a broad offering and remains a good value, it is becoming more than we need.
