Airbrake vs. BugHerd

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.

Bugherd is well suited to our needs because it's an intuitive tool that doesn't require a ton of training, and we are working with a development agency to improve our backend and communicate issues to developers. From what I've seen, it does require you to use Chrome, which might not be perfect for other companies but it great for us. The tool has great functionality for tracking and allows you to move bugs into stages like "doing", "done" or "backlog". The screenshot tool has been super easy to use, and when we do have a bug that requires multiple screenshots, it's easy to open up a newly submitted ticket to attach a custom screenshot. It isn't easy to track down a specific bug you've logged if there are hundreds, so be prepared to dig quite a bit if you're using it for extensive testing and find yourself trying to go back

• Integration with most of languages and frameworks as well support via existing logging configs.
• Aggregations on occurrences which helps to understand and analyse issues better.
• Web UI displays all error related parameters which I never could have figured out in manual debugging.

• It's easy to install and use.
• It's easy for clients as well as our internal teams to use and input feedback.
• It's easy to use and helps gather information a client/user may not normally supply.

• 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.

• The ability to add a couple more columns temporarily would be nice.

BugHerd is an easy-to-use, highly intuitive tool that fits seamlessly into our web development process. It is easy for all users to use, web developers, project managers, testers and clients. Clients are able to easily pin bugs and provide explanatory feedback that allows our team to fix what is broken and incorporate client feedback.

Truthfully, we have had very little need for BugHerd support, as the tool is intuitive and does not have many bugs of its own. They have a pretty solid help/FAQ section and their support people have been reasonably responsive the few times we have needed to contact customer support. We have had our issues resolved and questions answered.

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

BugHerd is more focused on web-based tools, which we needed, as opposed to app-based tools like Instabug. Jira has a much higher level of complexity and barrier to entry and didn't suit our use case.

• Hugely reduced frontend errors in devices we don’t often test: means more conversions and sales
• Lets us know immediately when there is an error: shorter error durations also means higher sales
• Ultimately once we’ve solved all the most common bugs: more time for developers to focus on other things

Incentivized

• BugHerd has reduced our testing and bug-fixing time by up to 25% per project.
• BugHerd has increased client satisfaction by making it painless to provide us feedback and report bugs during the final phase of the website project.
• BugHerd has also decreased the time that our project managers have to spend tracking bugs and reporting to the development team.
