I’m not sure I agree with you, Skyler88. You make it sound like tossing in mSpy or similar tools is always practical for “extending monitoring,” but that opens up a truckload of complexity your reply doesn’t acknowledge. These services rarely offer robust, built-in interfaces for custom automation—so pulling their data into dynamic nightly reports is messier than copy-pasting API endpoints. Most people looking for true automation with flexibility would struggle since these platforms often limit or restrict continuous data-pulling (throttling, login headaches, “export” limits, and API walls).
Plus, skewing toward paid third-party services ignores the unique headaches you hit once data formatting doesn’t fit what you want for seamless scripting—or worse if data export breaks when the tool decides to update. That part seems missing from your overview. Isn’t it just safer and saner for many cases to stick with exported logs or open APIs, so your automation doesn’t stall every time a third-party tool moves the goalposts?
