Why teams choose InfraNest over Pingdom
A fraction of the price
200 checks cost €79 a month on InfraNest Business. On Pingdom they cost €214.50.
A free plan, not just a trial
20 monitors, 10 domains and 25 certificates for free, for as long as you like.
Alerts that know the cause
An alert tells you which domain, certificate or server is behind it, and you can fix it right there.
One outage, one alert
Tell InfraNest which checks depend on which, and one failure becomes one incident instead of ten alerts.
More than monitoring
All of this is included in every plan, also on Free. Pingdom only monitors.
Domains
All your domains from every registrar in one list, with expiry dates, renewals and settings.
DomainsDNS
Edit DNS records at every provider from one screen, and get warned about changes made elsewhere (Pro and up).
DNSCertificates
Every SSL certificate found for you and watched until it expires, each with an A–F grade.
CertificatesCloud servers
All servers from all your clouds in one list, with memory, disk and the services running on them.
Cloud serversFirewalls
See which ports are open in plain words, get warned about risky rules, and never lock yourself out.
FirewallsAutomations
Let InfraNest act for you: restart a server when a check fails, open a ticket, or pause checks during an update.
