Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Pingdom
I've deployed SolarWinds Pingdom in a few customer deployments to help facilitate site checking of the network post migration. This tool helps to check interconnectivity between data centers by checking the recovery and response of remote applications during a migration exercise. Demonstrating to the customer the ability of the tool to check their end hosts/applications and the length of outage builds up their confidence during a maintenance activity.
- End host response.
- End site recovery times.
- API recovery.
- Based on limited use I haven't seen any shortcomings as of yet.
- Quick response to outages.
I have used a host of other ping applications that were used to generate responses back from end hosts but that just shows the responsiveness of the host and not the applications. Seeing the response back from an application is crucial especially when a system is taken down and is sensitive to any network outage.
