Easy to set up compared to some web performance tracking tools. There is a WordPress plugin to add the Pingdom code snippet which may be useful for less technical users. > > **Cons**: If you are using other tools similar to Pingdom you may need to choose between them and Pingdom to avoid having too many code snippets installed which could reduce website performance. > > I started out using the free Pingdom website speed test tool before signing up to use the full kit of Pingdom tools. I use Pingdom to monitor website performance and uptime. ----- ### "Amazing product, great ROI" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *4 December 2018* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I most likely won't even be able to describe how much I like Pingdom. I've used it for many years. Started with a free version and expanded to paid subscriptions. It's always great to know what's going on with your network, when you're not around. Setting up monitoring alerts for specific services allows to decrease downtime and be on top of outages (means, you're a superhero). I've had situations so many time, when you come in in the morning, and a website has been down for several hours. With Pingdom, that's no longer a case. You get notified immediately\! > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything. It's so simple and intuitive, even a caveman can do it. Love the mobile app option > > Simply an amazing product, that lets you stay on top of network outages and assess them in a timely manner. Very affordable, when it comes to cost, comparing to some other options out there. I highly recommend this product. ----- ### "Basic alerts for starters" — 1.0/5 > **Emiliano Ariel** | *24 June 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lets me show network outages in a nice manner. > > **Cons**: it's not the cheapest service. I need a powerfull tool not this. > > I use this for a few days and did not like it. ----- ### "Used for years to monitor uptime" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 December 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is the go to product for uptime monitoring. Its ease of use for server and website uptime monitoring makes it an easy choice. You can extend the services to carry out transaction monitoring if you need to but the main offering is excellent. We have been using it for over 10 years. > > **Cons**: Nothing to speak of, I really can't think of anything that I don't like. ----- ### "The OG Website Monitor" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 March 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pingdom is easy to use. The UI is clean and there are tons of features. > > **Cons**: Pingdom gets expensive quick if you monitor microservices. > > Pingdom works great, but I'm trying to get away from the SolarWinds ecosystem. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/411661/pingdom?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/411661/pingdom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
