"One of the features that sets this product apart from its competitors is that it generates a solution."

"We monitor end-to-end availability of the application and deep dive PurePath analysis of real user visits."
"This tool has been essential for monitoring our systems, gathering all performance data, and helping to quickly resolve difficult problems affecting our customers ability to process their work through our systems."
"We have been using it to find bugs in our production environment."
"We have used PurePath data (response times) to improve and tune application performance."
"It is nice to be able to deep dive and pull historical data."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."

"The user interface for the management functions is not particularly intuitive for even the most common features."
"You have got cloning at one level, but it would be nice to have cloning at deeper levels. Or, as you are doing the cloning, it would be nice if you could select different options. Then, you are not having to sit there and build dashboards, and spending a lot of time in the cloning area."
"The initial setup was relatively complex because we were trying to implement into environments that they did not yet support."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
