> SignalFx seems to have a nice workbench for this with direct visual feedback in the UI, so that you can work on existing data to get the right result. Wavefront does as well; I'd recommend you compare it for competitive analysis. So would you say your product is in direct competition with these offerings, or do you see it more as a complement to them? |

Competition depends on the uses case - if you are using a tool like SignalXF for custom metric analytics, then we are no competition as our focus is monitoring of applications and its underlying infrastructure.
We are an Application Performance Management (APM) solution and therefore compete more with tools like New Relic oder AppDynamics. Theses tools are sadly only used for troubleshooting in 90% of the cases and not for management or monitoring. They also do not work in highly dynamic and scaled environments as there "model" is too static. (which they try to fix with their analytics offerings)
This is what we want to change and were we add the whole stack to the game to analyze all the dependencies and help finding root causes quickly and monitor and predict the KPIs of your applications, services, clusters and components.
We integrate with solutions like SignalFX if needed but I have really good experience to do "dashboarding" with more business related tools like Tableau or QlikView - this also offers application owners an easier way to aggregate the monitoring data and metrics on a higher (business) level, where tools like Instana offer the instrumentation data as an input.
