My two cents, do one thing well. Monitoring is as hard to tackle as good, and meaningful dashboarding.

I would focus on working on integrating with third party monitoring keeping the core in the dashboards. Coming from and industrial control & instrumentation background I like dashboards that show all elements in a system and how they interact with each other (Look for SCADA dashboards of a turbine, for example)

looks great btw, kudos and good luck!

Thanks! We actually build a SCADA demo using it - preview here https://youtu.be/ol4SkqeAVfA
Woah!! That looks great!

I think you should share this prominently on your website, showing how you can do more than just cloud.

There are a lot of infrastructure segments that could benefit from your product even beyond the industrial setting. Traffic? Production lines? More!

You need to add a lot more generic icons that are not tied to specific cloud providers. I found it very difficult to map out a system I built in a datacenter.
Sure - what extactly would you be looking for? There's also a section in Arcentry labelled "Generic & Customizable Components" which has 56 generic servers, databases, PCs and basics like cubes and triangles.
