Pingdom overview

What is Pingdom?

You can’t fix what you’re not aware of, and you need to find out about website issues quickly because if your customers find out first, it’s game over. For today’s web-scale application environments, it’s not just about the web application’s availability; it’s about the performance and resulting end user’s experience. You need to know right down to the transaction level if your application is available and performing as designed. You need to monitor user interactions and business transactions to provide actionable insights because when availability and performance issues arise, they need to be fixed quickly—before the customer feels the impact.

Key benefits of using Pingdom

Pingdom offers powerful and incredibly easy-to-understand uptime and performance monitoring for your websites. With Pingdom, you can:

• Ensure your web application and its key transactions are up and working as designed for all your users, no matter where they are or how they access the
application.

• Know your web application is performing the way it was designed to with an end-to-end view of the interconnected elements supporting it.

• Know who your real visitors are and how your web application is performing for them. Test your web app in the real world, not the ideal conditions of the
data center.

• Be confident your performance monitoring tool can scale with your business technically and cost-effectively.
