OpsGenie is an incident management system that helps teams engage the right people to manage and resolve an incident in the shortest possible time.
OpsGenie is designed to streamline those crucial incident monitoring processes by alerting the right people on your team to take action and address an issue as soon as possible through its on-call management and escalation features. It comes with highly customizable features and sophisticated tools, all designed to work with different DevOps workflows.
Unlike regular incident monitoring platforms, OpsGenie intuitively forecasts potential issues based on aggregated metrics. This tool also automatically determines the people or teams best equipped to resolve the issues detected through proper action mapping.
You can optimize your team's collaboration and communication channels by integrating OpsGenie with over 200 ticketing, monitoring, and chat tools, including Slack, Jira, and Amazon CloudWatch. Plus, common and repetitive actions can be quickly executed by using OpsGenie actions. For example, in response to an alert, OpsGenie can start an Amazon EC2 instance.

Pingdom is a monitoring system that uses both synthetic and real user monitoring to deliver enhanced app and website troubleshooting.
Pingdom's synthetic monitoring allows you to simulate visitor interaction with your website or app to spot app errors or website failures before your users do. You can monitor site uptime from over a hundred locations worldwide or troubleshoot your website speed and identify webpage issues. You can also test user transactions such as shopping carts, logins, registrations, and even URL hijacking.
Pingdom's real-time user monitoring allows you to monitor how your users interact with your website or app. Pingdom's real user monitoring (RUM) is fully scalable and intuitive. Learn how your users experience your site based on device, location, and browser. Ensure you meet your SLAs or KPIs by setting your own goals and monitoring your performance. Record and compare user metrics over time to see how your website performs over weeks, months, or years.
Digital marketers can use Pingdom's synthetic monitoring to test new campaigns and ensure their users have the best experience. They can use Pingdom's real-time user monitoring to review how different user experience aspects, such as browser type or device, affect sales.
Web developers can test for website or app performance and spot defects while updates are in development. Web host providers can monitor performance in real-time to ensure client uptime. IT/Web Ops can use synthetic monitoring to quickly identify bottlenecks and spot backend issues with Pingdom's real-time user monitoring.
With MetricFire, you can amplify Pingdom's synthetic and real-time user monitoring. By integrating Pingdom with the MetricFire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. With MetricFire, you can quickly understand complex websites at a glance or compare your Pingdom data with other monitoring systems.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud and on Premise Monitoring
Hosted Prometheus
Hosted Graphite
Grafana Dashboards
Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
