Product intro:
We believe developers should have full visibility into the experiences end users have with their applications. So, we build developer visibility tools that provide development teams with all the insights they need into their end users’ experiences with an app. This ensures that developers can find and fix issues as swiftly as possible and provide first class experiences to their customers.
SmartBear’s BugSnag product is a market leading error and performance monitoring solution which helps development teams understand the general health of their applications through the eyes of users. It identifies issues such as application crashes and errors and then routes the issues (with context) to the developers to triage and fix.
