Chose Airbrake
I chose Airbrake over Sentry and Rollbar primarily because I’m most familiar with Airbrake, I’ve been using it for many years now so it’s well-established and I know what I’m getting and that it works.
Airbrake boasts a beautiful user interface that gives easy access to features such as intelligent error grouping and application insights, session details, and backtraces. All these allow you to squash those bugs at a much faster pace.
Airbrake is very good at what it does, I don’t really have any criticism at all on that front. It’s less well-suited when bugfixing goes beyond the immediate error and means looking at a lot of context (particularly asynchronous context) like logs.
Great for standard web application performance monitoring, analytics and error reporting. Shows line level code errors, gives insight into performance issues (plugins, API issues, etc.). Automation and scheduled scanning in production gives client visibility into 'after deployment' value. Also lets a relatively small number of developers keep tabs on a handful of different site/applications without needing a bunch of tools. The UI is pretty complicated and can be overwhelming for new users. Documentation could be better for the learning curve,
Great web interface. Lots of data available in a really clean format, with filtering options and more.
Per-user exception tracking. User is complaining about something being broken? Look up their account ID in Sentry and you can see if they've run into any exceptions (with device information included, of course).
Source map uploading. Took a little while to figure this out but now we have our deploy script upload sourcemaps to Sentry on each deployment, meaning we get to see stack traces that aren't obfuscated!
Very generous free tier – 10,000 events per month. We're nowhere near that yet.
We use Airbrake in conjunction with OpsGenie, but I feel like there could be more room for integration between the two.
I think it would also be nice if there was a GitHub integration that would comment on recently merged error-prone PRs, currently, we need to dig into the error to find the commit.
Generally, more integrations would be nice as people often forget about Airbrake when they are stressed out about an issue.
I love to use Airbrake and New Relic in conjunction. New Relic has better metrics and data that you can really dig into (especially for optimizations), but the error part has always been kinda meh. I fee like Airbrake has done an awesome job at this
We used Rollbar but didn't like the configuration its not easy. And also doesn't support wide features like Sentry although its a cheaper option but doesn't have the dash-boarding like Sentry and its was not easy to integrate webhooks for different purposes. Somehow many people in company where not able to understand Rollbar dashboard who were very much used to Sentry.
We had to take it down later due to internal reasons and majorly because of cost-cutting process
If someone has a unstable system and have no way to figure out what to do, can use sentry at least temporarily along with some other APM to fix their system faster
