I've been a Pingdom customer for several years, with no plan to leave. Here's my perspective:

1. Our primary use of Pingdom is to show prospective clients our app uptime, as validated by a 3rd party. So Pingdom's main value for us is in marketing.

2. Because Pingdom has years of our data, we are really locked in.

3. Sub-minute monitoring is not appealing, I don't want that much load on my servers from monitoring.

4. The name Verelo does not convey what your service does.

5. I think Pingdom's $10/month price point is about right for our use-case. We'd probably drop it if they raised prices very much.

Hope this helps, good luck with your venture!

Thanks for the feedback. I think helping migrating being painless is something we do need to look into.

I would encourage you to check back when we add our next feature set, there are some big game changers coming.
