Frequently asked questions

Common questions about switching from Pingdom to UptimeEye.

What is multi-step flow monitoring and why does it matter?

Multi-step monitoring tests complete user journeys, not just if your site is 'up'. For example: Can users login → browse → add to cart → checkout → get confirmation? Pingdom offers multi-step transactions as a check type, depending on the plan. UptimeEye includes multi-step API flows with variable extraction on every plan, even the free plan (5 steps per flow, 10 steps on Pro at €29/month) - designed specifically for testing revenue-critical flows.

Does UptimeEye have incident management features like enterprise tools?

Yes! UptimeEye includes native incident management with 4-stage status progression (investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved), incident timeline tracking, and automatic status page updates. Create incidents manually or link them to monitor failures, add updates throughout the incident lifecycle, and keep stakeholders informed via your status pages - all included in every paid plan.

What does UptimeEye cost for a startup?

UptimeEye Pro is a flat €29/month (€290/year) with 50 monitors, 50 cron monitors, 30-second checks, 3 status pages, and 5 team members included. Multi-step monitoring and status pages are part of every plan, and there's a free plan. Pingdom lists no free plan, only a free trial.

Can UptimeEye replace Pingdom transaction monitoring?

For API and HTTP journeys, yes: UptimeEye's multi-step flow monitoring covers what Pingdom's multi-step transaction checks do for those journeys, and it's included on every plan - even the free plan - with Pro at €29/month.

Does UptimeEye have as many monitoring locations as Pingdom?

No. UptimeEye checks from 6 real global regions (a monitor on Agency uses all 6, on Pro 3, on Free 1), while Pingdom names 100+ locations. A handful of strategic regions plus deep latency diagnostics (DNS/TCP/TLS/TTFB timings) cover most use cases.

Is migration from Pingdom difficult?

Not at all! Most teams migrate in under 2 hours. UptimeEye's interface is intuitive, and our API supports bulk operations. We also offer migration assistance - contact our team and we'll help you transition smoothly.

Does UptimeEye offer a free trial?

Yes! 14 days of Pro included, then free forever. No credit card. Multi-step monitoring and status pages are part of every plan, Free included.
