Share your opinion: Pingdom and WPM, how they can benefit from each other?

peter.kruty over 9 years ago

Many of you did notice recent exciting news, that we have a new family member - Pingdom joins SolarWinds!

Pingdom - a leader in cloud based web monitoring is great for measuring customer experience for customer-faced websites, provides end user experience from different geos and browsers, it's easy to start with abilities like RUM, transaction scripting and extensive mobile support. You may be asking about future of Website monitoring in Solarwinds and that is absolutely right question. WPM is a powerful synthetic monitoring solution, great for behind the firewall web application monitoring, with on premise or Amazon cloud options. However what do you think should be future of these two products? How would like to see these two be integrated if at all? What value you would like to get from this marriage?

Thinking about same and different use-cases for Pingdom and WPM: are you using WPM for monitoring internal or external sites (or both)? How many you have of each? What is in Pingdom, that would make your life easier? Are you using some other monitoring solution with WPM, which is actually a complement like Pingdom?

Share your opinion and ask more questions. We want to know!

I'm interested in the Pingdom acquisition, and hope that perhaps data or other reporting from the service will be importable or visible to NPM, if for no other reason than easy dashboarding.
Echoing other statements here - the ability to easily monitor the user experience from the Internet to our customer-facing apps is something we'd be happy to have.
WPM in our shop today has some very basic tasks - availability and transaction time reporting, etc. However, we don't use it for much beyond that, and probably won't. If I could use Pingdom assets to capture the same info externally, I'd probably just use that. Again, our usage is very simple compared to some others here, but to have a dashboard/reporting source for all of our customer-facing app site data would be great.
