Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Pingdom

To maintain the health of websites, it is essential to continuously monitor them. If you work with clients and they have a transactional site, like BigCommerce or Shopify, you want to know when it does down immediately. The tool also provides feedback to check the website speed, and dig deep with results that are actionable.

Pros

  • Website Uptime
  • Website Speed
  • Details

Cons

  • More colors in their interface :)
  • Maybe a white-label option for consultants
  • Understanding the holdups on sites that are transnational, how to make the checkout process faster.
  • If the site is always up, more sales. If it goes down, you are notified and you can fix it fast, or it's lost sales.
The detailed reporting and website uptime monitoring is something other tools don't provide. You don't want to get a call from a client or customer that your site is down, or lose sales if it brings in sales to you.
You get recommendations on how to enhance the page performance, breakdown of content type for the page, requests by domain, file requests, everything
They have a chatbot and if you need someone, they will come online or you can leave a message and they will email you back. They also have a great help support section anyone can go in and type their question to get quick answers. The support section is very comprehensive with many answers are your fingertips.

The page speed report details is great. You can dig into the filmstrip and timeline and see the breakdown of the visuals of the load and how the browsers read the lines of code. If you work with a team you can add other users and you can also email the report to others.

When sifting through various website speed testing sites, this one is very easy to use. Very visual to share with others without them getting overwhelmed, it shows the main points to focus on, time delays at the exact location of load on the website. To help show someone how a site is performing this is hands down one of the easiest to use and share.
