Differentiators in the market

  • The primary USP of our solution is that:
    • a. It can analyze and visualize all the error data from all apps installed on the device
    AND
    b. It can do this for all the devices that have our APK installed
  • Analytics on Collective Data from many devices (multiple Android Versions, Device Models, and releases) is potentially able to give easy, meaningful and bigger insights into the Android Log Data.
