“I don’t want to spend time setting up thresholds for each service, each node, what is too little memory, etc. I don’t want to be setting manual triggers on all my metrics. I can just install the agent and forget it. The ease of install and ease of use has been great.”
– Jacob Tirey, Lead Site Reliability Engineer at Patrocinium

“We had all this data feeding into our previous monitoring tool, but it was like somebody had to go look at the tool. With Blue Matador, all the data is pulled in it actually draws correlations and gives us useful information, it’s invaluable. I would need to hire a couple people to do Blue Matador’s job.”
Skyler Cain, VP of Product & Technology at RentDynamics
“It would have taken us over a year and a whole lot more money to give us what Blue Matador provided at a really reasonable price.”
Rob Smith, VP of Technology at Foundant
“Blue Matador's approach is really great, particularly for us startups! Datadog takes the 'Here's 500 metrics—have at it' approach, while Blue Matador takes a 'Here's what is relevant right now' approach.”
Joe Auty, Senior DevOps Engineer at FlipGive
