Ease of setup, and immediate results. You can get this into your ecosystem very quickly. The functionality once it is up is very targeted, easy to assimilate into Operations, and immediately useful. Very well engineered, but also extremely cost effective as well.

Their support both pre and post-sales has been excellent. They keep in touch and ask how we are getting on with the product. They come back with responses straight away if you ask any questions . Blue Matador are actively updating their product frequently with new features and include your suggestions into their backlog. What I like most about Blue Matador is the personal service, which I think is really important for a smaller company like us. They ask about what you do and what you use cloud services for and tune their service appropriately.

There are a lot of different monitoring tools out there, and I've tried all the top names that you can think of. Blue Matador is the best, my favorite, hands down, period. You won't find a tool that gets out of your way and does one thing really really well: monitor everything! Blue Matador's deployment time to your infrastructure is minutes. Not hours or days. With both the cloud provider integration, and the servers-side agent installed, you'll have a complete view of everything happening in your infrastructure. There is no messing around with complex configs, setting trigger thresholds, inventory groups, or fiddling with a hundred different screens in a web UI. As said before, Blue Matador gets out of your way and monitors. The machine-learning based alert thresholds are just glorious. Its exactly what my team needed to stay sane while quickly deploying new apps and services, and never having to worry about the question of "is this being monitored?" That answer has always been a resounding & exclamatory "YES!" Blue Matador's single pane of glass approach to monitoring is so concise, we've had numerous occasions where Blue Matador has discovered a problem, alerted us, giving us root cause, and we started fixing the problem, all before our own QA team caught the problem, during an active deployment! These guys were specifically testing for the problem and Blue Matador caught it first. We were shocked and in love. Additionally, Blue Matador's team is top notch. I've never in my life said "wow, customer support was awesome", before working with Blue Matador. In a world of faceless SaaS providers, having a partner that you can actually reach out to for issues and simple questions is so fantastic. Blue Matador has ruined my expectation for any other provider in the future. Heh heh.
