    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.

    Compuware Strobe is very essential if you are working in a multi-system environment to constantly measure the activity of your applications. My setup involves deploying bots to perform repetitive tasks. With Compuware Strobe, I'm able to conduct early tests on codes that reduce by great margins performance issues on the development cycle; It's why I'm making a good recommendation for it.

    Pros
    LogicMonitor
    • 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.

    • Runs detailed analysis on captured data to aid in tuning applications.
    • It's possible to run early tests on the bots' codes to detect early performance issues.

    Cons
    LogicMonitor
    • 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.

    • Does not collect all performance indicators(toolchain measurements) in early CI pipelines.

    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

    Return on Investment
    LogicMonitor
    • 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
