Pingdom is a website uptime and performance monitoring service founded in 2007 in Sweden. SolarWinds acquired Pingdom AB for approximately $103 million in June 2014, and it is now sold as "SolarWinds Pingdom" alongside the SolarWinds Observability suite. Pingdom operates as a product line within SolarWinds rather than having its own separate CEO; SolarWinds itself is led by President & CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna, who joined in January 2021 following the company’s widely reported 2020 SUNBURST supply-chain attack — which affected SolarWinds’ separate Orion IT-management platform, not Pingdom. SolarWinds went private via a take-private transaction with Turn/River Capital completed in 2025, after having been publicly traded (NYSE: SWI) since 2018.
