Segment
A customer data platform that collects events once and routes them to every downstream tool. Now part of Twilio.
One integration instead of thirty analytics snippets.
What it is sold for
Collecting product events and fanning them out.

Same shelf
The rest of monitoring and analytics, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Error monitoring and alerting, one of the earlier hosted exception trackers.
- 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.
