Dimension | Cost/host/hour |

The number of billable compute resources monitored by Blue Matador | $0.025 |
Dimensions summary
You pay based on the number of billable compute resources that Blue Matador monitors, measured in host hours (HostHrs). Usage scales with how many hosts you run. A host counts as one virtual machine or physical server, or a group of 10 smaller resources such as functions, container tasks, state machines, shards, or pods. Where virtual machines and containers overlap, Blue Matador deduplicates and counts them once. As you add or scale resources, your billable host count rises, so your charges track actual monitored capacity over time.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
For serverless functions, 10 functions count as one host, so 40 functions equal 4 hosts. For container tasks, 10 tasks count as one host. For pods, 10 pods count as one host. Each virtual machine or physical server counts as one host on its own.
Your billable host count rises as you add or scale monitored resources, so charges track running capacity. You can monitor test, stage, and development environments from the same account. All monitored environments and resources add to your host count and appear on the same usage bill.
No. Where virtual machines and containers overlap, Blue Matador deduplicates and charges you once for that resource. This prevents the same underlying infrastructure from inflating your host count. Billing reflects distinct monitored resources rather than every layer running on the same machine.

What do you like best about the product?
Based on feedback, from customers there are aspects of Blue Matador that are disturbing customers. Blue Matador has been obstructive for me as well. This tool has completely disturbed how I monitor my systems. Its alerting system needs to consistently resolve issues before they escalate into problems.

Blue Matador claims to provide solutions for businesses it falls short in a areas. The platform lacks customization options, which limits its adaptability to needs. Lacks transparency making it difficult to determine the cost. Customer support is slow and unresponsive leading to frustration and a sense of being unsupported among users.

Great for teams that don't have time/money to invest in alerting

What do you like best about the product?
It just kind of works out of the box and surfaces issues we weren't even aware we should be monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited customization options currently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire AWS account is primarily monitored with Blue Matador. We saved the headache of creating and customizing hundreds of alerts. Without Blue Matador it would have been a lengthy trial and error process.

Excellent, disruptive product in the APM space
Reviewed on May 13, 2020
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup, and immediate results. You can get this into your ecosystem very quickly. The functionality once it is up is very targeted, easy to assimilate into Operations, and immediately useful. Very well engineered, but also extremely cost effective as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not a full APM solution (yet). It does pair very well with the elastic.co APM stack however, and has allowed us to move off a much more expensive, cumbersome New Relic environment. While the cost is very good, you will have to account for a companion solution to handle the full stack that an APM typically covers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alerting and catching trends in our infrastructure are the key benefits. We have full visibility across our stack, from Lambdas to K8s to RDS that give us real confidence. We didn't have to setup the alerts, so there wasn't something that could have been missed in the config. It's like a warm blanket of technology protecting your stack.

Blue Matador is a great choice for smaller companies

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Their support both pre and post-sales has been excellent. They keep in touch and ask how we are getting on with the product. They come back with responses straight away if you ask any questions . Blue Matador are actively updating their product frequently with new features and include your suggestions into their backlog. What I like most about Blue Matador is the personal service, which I think is really important for a smaller company like us. They ask about what you do and what you use cloud services for and tune their service appropriately.
What do you dislike about the product?
I cant think of anything I dislike. Its been a really good experience so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have a fully monitored cloud service in terms of infrastructure, which gives us reassurance that we didn't have before because of our knowledge gap in this area.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a cloud monitoring service and if you are a smaller company that requires more support than one with more resources then I would definitely recommend Blue Matador
