Updated March 27, 2026
Why look beyond Sentrial?
Sentrial is a production monitoring platform purpose-built for AI agents — positioned as "Datadog for Agent Reliability." Part of YC W2026, it was founded by Neel Sharma (CEO, UC Berkeley CS, ex-Sense) and Anay Shukla (UC Berkeley CS, deployed DevOps agents at Accenture).
Common reasons users explore alternatives
- No disclosed customers, revenue, or traction metrics
- Early feedback flagged website bugs — ironic for a reliability company
- Defining wrong agent behavior universally is technically very challenging
- Incumbents like Datadog and LangSmith are adding agent observability features
