I recognise the issue you describe, and I'd like to share with you that we're going down another road. Nowadays, RIPE NCC offers a streaming API ("RIS Live") which has the data needed to analyse and correlate BGP UPDATES seen in the wild to business rules you as operator define.
NTT folks are working on https://github.com/nlnog/bgpalerter/ - which relies on "RIPE RIS Live", this software should become a competitive replacement to current BGP monitoring tools. Stay tuned, the software will be more useful in the course of the next few weeks.
Similarly, one can integrate CAIDA's BGPStream Broker Service[1] into their own tools. Like bgpalerter above, working with open source or rolling your own tools is increasingly straightforward[2] due to these community projects. Another viable project to keep an eye on is ARTEMIS[3] for monitoring. Dale [1] https://bgpstream.caida.org/data [2] https://github.com/dwcarder/bgpwatch [3] https://www.inspire.edu.gr/artemis/
