I saw you promoting this before and to be frank I looked at it and didn't understand what it would be good for. I thought, "Oh, ok so it's like a cron task that's easier to manage but you pay for" and then filed it away deep in my brain under "Maybe someday I'll need that"

Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't see how it is even remotely similar to what these monitoring services provide. Can you explain that better?
