BlocWatch vs. Open Source Monitoring & Analytics Tools
Institutions require comprehensive monitoring to fulfill operational, security, and compliance mandates. Failures and compromises in production systems can easily cause millions in losses. As the below comparison shows, both Hyperledger Explorer and Quorum Cakeshop are open source tools that offer basic blockchain monitoring. BlocWatch, however, offers a far broader and deeper solution that has been tailored to enterprise monitoring requirements.
If it is critical that your blockchain network is running 24/7 we strongly recommend that you consider using the BlocWatch platform.
