Auguro vs Pingdom

One is a monitoring suite with a sales team. The other is a tool that answers one question well and costs almost nothing.

Where Pingdom is the better answer

Pingdom has a large global probe network, decades of history, real page-speed reporting, and the SolarWinds account team that enterprises want behind a contract.

Where it leaves you exposed

You pay enterprise prices for it, and its Real User Monitoring tells you what visitors experienced rather than actively checking that the page still works when nobody is on it.
