Same shelf
The rest of monitoring and analytics, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Kubernetes monitoring using eBPF, so service maps come from the kernel rather than from instrumented code.
- Subscription analytics that reads the billing system and produces the revenue metrics from it.
- Logs, metrics, traces, uptime and on-call in one product, sold against assembling four vendors.
- Generates documents from templates and JSON: PDF, DOCX, XLSX and the rest of the office formats.
- Analytics over engineering activity, producing contribution and delivery metrics from repository data.
- HTML to PDF over an API with proper CSS Paged Media support, which most converters do badly.
- PDF generation with a template editor, an API and no-code integrations.
- Evaluation and observability for agents, aimed at diagnosing why a run failed rather than only that it did.
