Why Spydomo vs Monitoring & Alerts
Alerts are great at telling you something happened. Spydomo is built to tell you what matters — with context, trends, and traceable sources, packaged into a weekly workflow your team can actually use.
Monitoring tools detect changes. Spydomo turns change into signal: scoring, grouping, trends, and “why it matters.”
Common “alerts stacks”
- Website change alerts, RSS, newsletters
- Google Alerts, keyword monitors
- Slack/email alerts + a spreadsheet/Notion doc
