Our product provides real-time monitoring for public websites. Traditionally all monitoring services provide 30min/5min/1min monitoring intervals.

Does our product video communicate the benefits of real-time monitoring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VLyU9wbBbI.

Your comments and feedback are appreciated.

I don't know if I am your target customer. I have a website (wedding planner) and the video doesn't tell me if I need your product or not.

I'd like to see a peek of it in action, maybe not the whole video, but something. How does it compare to the tools I know? A video that only shows me someone had a great idea leaves me thinking it might only be a great idea. I don't need to be sold great ideas, only great implementations.

The content looks good - the bucket resonates with me. The animation could use some work, voice over is professionally done. Good luck.

Good point. If downtime of your website affects your business, you would be wise to setup monitoring.

Thank you for the feedback. Are there specific parts of the animation that didn't work for you?

Thank you for the feedback. Are you looking for product snapshots in the video? Comparison chart is something we were considering to put up on the website.
