Mona

What do you like best about Mona?

Mona can be configured in many different ways and has a very sophisticated UI and configuration language. It allows you to segment the data in many different ways and have alarms and insights on all these segments independently. When something goes off in many places at once, Mona typically recognizes that and reports only one of the alarms, classifying the others as "related".

I am also very happy about our interaction with the Mona team. They have even developed some functionalities specifically for us, like seeing insights on a map.

What do you dislike about Mona?

Getting up to speed can be complicated, the sophistication of the platform makes it intimidating for some users and requires a bit of a learning curve. The documentation is good and the team very supportive, but it does require a bit of use for people to become comfortable with it.

What problems is Mona solving and how is that benefiting you?

Monitoring our machine learning models in production, by making sure that the data and the answers from the model are stable and not shifting. The configurability of the platform allows you to give whatever meaning you need to these terms.

What do you like best about Mona?

Mona helps us monitor our models and find outlier behaviors.

The way we configured it all happens automatically and we receive alerts when something bad happens.

What do you dislike about Mona?

It is not something that I dislike, but I think our data could be better leveraged by Mona to give us some easier Data Exploration and BI tools to analyze our data.

The way we use it today, I still need a BI platform to do some analysis besides Mona.

What problems is Mona solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have hundreds of models running in production and we need to monitor them closely.

We could write our own code to monitor and detect outliers, but that would drain resources from our team that can be better used to do other work.

That way Mona is letting us focus on what is critical for our business and saving us some money.

What do you like best about Mona?

How easy you can report metrics from code and how interesting it can be to view these metrics forming a graph

What do you dislike about Mona?

Sometimes it takes time to find the relevant function I am looking for in to match my needs

What problems is Mona solving and how is that benefiting you?

Generally, the problems that we see occur sporadically, but we have no idea on what scale they do happen to see if they imply a serious issue or not. Mona helps us gain insights into such concerns by monitoring the behavior on a wide scale

What do you like best about Mona?

We don't need to define the segmentation of the data, MONA learns our data and provides fast insights. A lot of integrations out of the bots (Slack / Email).

What do you dislike about Mona?

Some of the concepts and terms are hard to understand at first sight and require some training.

What problems is Mona solving and how is that benefiting you?

Anomaly detection, production workload monitoring. MONA is our "last" line of defense in the case that all our monitoring tools fail to detect an issue.

What do you like best about Mona?

There's two thing that I like the most. First, is how the company listen and cares about our needs from their platform, and try to fullfill our needs, and second is how Mona Labs are flexible to us change the config how we like. For now I'm satisfied by their product.

What do you dislike about Mona?

One thing that I dislike is the lack of extraction options from data on Dashboard. Not big deal, we can extract outside Mona, but If I would have options to extract data with the options that I would like, it would be lesser than problematic for me. For example, string columns tends to break tables in CSV, but not on JSON lines.

What problems is Mona solving and how is that benefiting you?

Suddenly data drifts. The benefits are pretty obvious to us, because we can monitoring our product on real time catching any strange pattern happening before become a real issue
