Review on Apex Ping by Robert Arneson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pingdom works fine we used them before

I like it because it has a lot of statistics, I like also that it uses less of my memory and it updates the results in a simple way. I don’t like it that I can’t create an alert from the results of the ping command to send a notification to myself or others, I’ve been looking for that feature on other similar services but I haven’t found it. Maybe you could implement the option to create an alert like in AWS or Google. It’s very useful to know when the server is not responding or when there are temporary problems. Easy to setup, easy to use, no downtime, great customer support. We are monitoring our AWS infrastructure with this tool and it's working great so far. I can't think of anything that I dislike about the product. It's really easy to setup and configure as well. The price is very reasonable too. If you're looking for an uptime monitoring solution this is a good choice. We are monitoring our AWS infrastructure with this product and it's working great so far.
