App analytics company Apteligent acquired by VMware

Originally named Crittercism, Apteligent was founded to provide mobile app performance and analytics data to customers. Over time, Apteligent moved more and more into the enterprise as a way for developers to understand not just crash reporting or network insights, but also to analyze user behavior and improve the user experience of their apps.Terms of the acquisition weren’t disclosed, but Apteligent had raised nearly $50 million since being founded in 2011, with a list of investors that include Scale Venture Partners, GV, Shasta Ventures, KPCB, AngelPad and AOL Ventures. Strategic investors include Accenture and (yes) VMware, which apparently liked the company so much it just bought it outright.
