Where is Pingdom stronger?
Pingdom has more than 100 public probe servers and offers Real User Monitoring, page-speed and transaction monitoring. Choose it when those capabilities matter more than private probes or standalone route monitors.
How do I migrate from Pingdom?
Recreate your checks on the free plan and run both side by side until you trust the alerts. HTTP, ping, TCP, DNS and SSL monitors cover the typical Pingdom setup.
