FWIW I compared 7+ companies back in Nov. Went with Sentry for best overall product. (Best/most well-supported Lang/framework integrations, open source, amazing UI)

I for one would prefer if that list was narrowed to a single company ;) As a founder in the space, it’s quite an interesting dilemma that there are so many (and theres a lot more niche examples you didn’t even list).

Glad you found this thread! Any hypothesis on why there are so many?

Problem “looks easy” and is actually fairly simply to get a prototype going (original Sentry was ~70 lines of code), but gets really hard once you have a lot of data or disjointed data. Also getting harder as industry adapts. Definitely critical for mobile/browser/desktop apps.

Ahh great points. The space "looks easy", every technical founder brushes up against error tracking, and it falls into the "dev tools" space which is notoriously competitive since a lot of engineers want to do this stuff for fun (hence OSS). Makes sense!
