Our take

Defective software leads to dissatisfied users, disruptions and potential financial losses for companies. Sentry has created application monitoring and error tracking software to help developers fix errors faster, easier and more cost effectively.

More than 1 million developers and 70,000 organizations worldwide, including the likes of Microsoft, Disney, Atlassian, Cloudflare and Slack, have used Sentry to monitor their code health. And the company is well-positioned for significant growth as there is an emerging need for solutions that address holistic application health. As more companies focus on digital to engage with their customers, the reliability of their applications is essential.

The global bug-tracking software market is expected to reach over $600 million by the end of 2026 with an annual growth rate of almost 10%. Further, the company opened another office in Denver in early 2023, expanding its regional presence, as it continues to broaden its market presence.
