Cool, it's good to have some more choice in this space.

I'm currently using Geckoboard, I really like their visual style and fast customer support, my main complaint with them is that they don't have that many custom widgets (yet).

Your data gathering and realtime features are nice to have, but for most of my statistics their ~3 min update speed is enough.

Yeah, we realize real time is not strictly necessary for many people. For the ones who need it, it's a killer feature, for the ones who don't, a nice-to-have.

The game-changing point is that we're always gathering data at the same pace, even when you're not connected. This means that when you visit the page (or see read your daily report email), you'll see a datapoint for every event as it happened, like a visits spike during the night, or a sudden increase of CPU usage of your AWS machines.
