And yes you can purchase it through SolarWinds - Pingdom - Uptime, Website, & Performance Monitoring | SolarWinds
Thanks! I reached out to my sales person yesterday and have not heard back so I just wanted to check if this was an actual Solarwinds product. Thanks!!
Good to know. Interestingly, I had asked our SW sales rep about this a while back and was told that pricing and sales was still totally separate. i.e. we could not get billing/quotes (or discounts) through our main SW corporate account and would have to deal with PingDom as another account.
And this is the reason I probably rely too much on Thwack and not actual Solarwinds support or sales.
Just to be clear, Pingdom has been part of the SolarWinds family since June 2014. (Through the acquisition of Pingdom, SolarWinds adds Cloud-based website and application performance monitoring to its po… )
So when people come to the booth at conventions and ask me "Oh, is that a new merger?" my response is "Well, if you are measuring in geological time, sure..."
