Our take
The amount of data the companies process - and the number of tools available to handle it - has increased exponentially in recent years. While platforms exist to monitor the performance of data software, not much exists to monitor the data itself, leading to data used in business critical applications sometimes becoming unreliable and requiring time-consuming and expensive QA.
Metaplane positions itself as a "DataDog for data", targeting quality issues by using anomaly detection models to find issues in a customer's data stack in real time, including the data warehouses which the data comes from. This allows data teams to swiftly locate and triage issues, before erroneous data hits a dashboard. While there is a growing roster of competitors entering the observability space, including Cribl, Monte Carlo and Manta, Metaplane seeks to stand out with its focus on product data, where its proprietary algorithms outshine Meta's Prophet library used by most competitors.
Metaplane has amassed a solid customer base of over 140 companies including Imperfect Foods, Appcues and Reforge. It closed a Series A funding round in 2024 off of its successes so far. This investment is going towards the development of its AI-powered observability platform. In the longer term, it will move into other business areas beyond product. As companies continue to grapple with the reliability of their data, Metaplane is well-placed to build a significant business in this sector.
