Cheeky headlines get clicks, but in all honesty, Amazon Monitron is a set of hardware devices (Sensors/Gateway), coupled with a cloud machine learning (ML) service. Hence my comparison of Monitron to the Amazon (Echo + Alexa).
Specifically, Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end system that detects abnormal behavior in industrial machinery. Today the Monitron solution is comprised of hardware sensors for your assets, Machine Learning for anomaly detection, and a mobile application to monitor your assets. The key differentiator in my mind is the combination of low price for Industrial Sensors ($115 per sensor), out of the box anomaly detection, and usability with a simple mobile app.
