Unravel’s growing list of customers across financial services, healthcare and technology are extremely happy, and the future is very bright for the company.”

“We’ve reached an inflection point where enterprises are running mission critical applications on big data platforms across their organization. Now they’re looking for ways to ensure that their entire stack works like a well-oiled machine. That’s where APM comes in. Our customer base and revenue grew by 300% and we achieved a 100% renewal rate in 2017,” said Kunal Agarwal, CEO, Unravel Data. “We are thrilled to have strong partners such as GGV Capital and Microsoft Ventures join our team along with Menlo Ventures.
