Interesting. My kneejerk response is to say that I don't think they
necessarily did all of the market research they could (or maybe, they
targetted a specific demographic, rather than "people who need IT
monitoring"). No mention of Spiceworks, Solar Winds, or What's Up Gold?
That seems odd to me.

But as far as monitoring in the largely-open-source world goes, I think
they've correctly identified a lot of the reasons monitoring can suck.
Solving those problems is obviously hard - or someone would have done it
already. If they can make traction on even one of those problems, that
would be a win, though I have a personal theory that a lot of the problems
with monitoring stem from the fact that even we don't *really* know what we
want.

Anyway, cool link!
