Technically, it was (and is) a great service, perhaps the best in the industry. We use it for monitoring.
  • Load to check performance
  • Disk usage

  • Cpu usage
  • Using webhook with opsgenie to create alert in opsgenie based on various activities in application being monitored
  • It has specific metrics which does not covers over all monitoring of application
  • It support limited number of applications for integration
  • uptime sustainability
Excellent support. responds within 24 hours or less

Pingdom is great for notifying when a website goes down, and allowing analysts to start looking into the issue within milliseconds of the site losing connectivity. It also has a lot of helpful tools to help diagnose problems with websites.

However, I cannot recommend this service to anyone, especially if your company is outside the US. Technically Pingdom is a great service. However, the idea of a monitoring service is that it should be 100% reliable. But you cannot be sure that your subscription won't be silently turned off by Pingdom when your country is suddenly on a list of enemies (even if you sell on the global market as we do).
