In my case, and by my use case... I like the monitoring and alerting features... having these set up super easy with just a sql query its the best for me... after this I love having the ability to create incidents or different things just setting up the audiences... I personally just use slack and incident.io, but Im thinking on exploring more capabilities in here... I like that I can customize these super easy and even snooze or get instant feedback on if the set up works or not... specially at the early days when an alert its set up that we get false positives, gets noisy, etc while tuning... super fast and reliable because I can also use it to trace back to other tools that might be affected for different factors. For my specific use case its super helpful and valuable, was easy to navigate and understand because every single feature its explicitly shown in the UI. Another good thing is that the onboarding on the platform was natural, not tricky or complicated at all at least for my use cases... also navigating through the alerts its super intuitive. Honestly I don't know because Im not the one paying, I don't know the money cost of this platform, Im a user and I like it
