Pingdom is one of the most used website monitoring tools, with almost 15 years in the business. It excels at providing simple and reliable synthetics as well as real user monitoring. This monitoring tool provides a simple public status page, but as you might have noticed it’s quite limited. It only serves as a display of your uptime and response time history, not much more than that.

Obviously 2020 was a very challenging and disruptive year. And for IT it brought unexpected pressure, the status pages of many of our clients were quite busy with the move to remote work and operations. But every challenge brings the opportunity to improve.

In this post, I will explain how to add Scheduled Events to your Status Page.

So you’re getting flooded by customer’s emails and phone calls whenever an incident arises in your business? It’s time to setup your very own status page! You might be thinking that there are so many options and you’ve probably heard of Atlassian’s Statuspage so now you want to make sure you pick the best status page provider. Well, you’re in the right place! Here are 5 reasons why you should pick Statuspal over Atlassian’s Statuspage.

If 2020 taught us anything, it is that a corporate Status Page is an IT ‘must have.’ With this one solution, IT leaders are able to address new challenges of remote work teams, as well as traditional issues — like high IT support costs, employee productivity, stakeholder transparency and IT team efficiency. 2020 was a year marked by the ‘virtualization’ of nearly every aspect of life.

Status pages have come a long way since their inception. They’re much more than just simple indicators. These days, they’ve become a critical aspect for companies embracing transparency. If you don’t want to be flooded with emails and phone calls from concerned customers during scheduled downtime, you must give public status pages a thought.
