Overall Satisfaction with Cronycle

Cronycle allows us to periodically check the market for signs of issues that may harm our products.
  • It allows filtering of information on key words.
  • Information is retrieved from multiple sources.
  • Because Cronycle gets input from different sources, true positives typically separate itself from others by being mentioned by multiple sources - it's buzzing.
  • For some reason logging on for a few months does not go as easy as usual, because nowadays I need a least two attempts to log in.
  • I think I do only use the core functionality of Cronycle: getting indication info by keywords via multiple sites.
  • Vice versa: if people come to me with a suspected issue, I double-check via Cronycle by entering that issue as search in found results. A low occurrence often indicates the suspected issue likely is not so severe.
  • Filtering on keywords.
  • Pre-configured sets of feed topics.
  • Ability to create multiple feeds.
  • The Cronycle feed output of a header and a small description that allows quick scrolling.
  • In the past issues sometimes overcame us which caused stressful situations because at that moment an investigation, implementation, and deployment had to occur asap. Cronycle allows use to be aware of issues in an early stage and hence have more structured and less stressful investigation/implementation/deployment cycles.
Another solution I investigated before finding out about Cronycle, was a do it your self solution. So set up your own database, fill it with content you think is interesting, and regularly review the output to make sense out of it.

But Cronycle most likely outperforms any do-it-yourself solution we could have produced and definitly does that with tremendously less implementation & maintenance effort from our side.

Besides that i do not know of another similar solution as Cronycle.

I already do promote it as the tool that allows us to respond more quickly to issues than when not using Cronycle. So typically before suppliers or users tell us there is an issue, we knew already about them. Because Cronycle filtered them from the internet at the moment they emerge.
