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.

Chose Airbrake
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.

Freshservice is well suited for tracking issues and customer tickets. I enjoy being able to narrow down the tags so I can see trends. My biggest issue with Freshservice is using it to look up customers and tickets. Even if I know a ticket is linked to a specific customer, the system often doesn't pull it up. It's almost too specific with what you need to search. Unless you have the exact wording, etc., it won't pull what you're looking for. Using it as a customer directory isn't really helpful with this setup right now.

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.

auditing. Maybe it's the license we have, but auditing agent activity is very difficult or non-existent. Sometimes an admin will make changes, and we have no idea who made them.
As great as the workflows and ticket automation are, they seem to break for unknown reasons, which requires a lot of manual overrides. This may be due to newly added features that are forcefully integrated.
Better ticket analytics. Managers don't seem to have much insight into what we do beyond tickets resolved.

We are pretty invested in Freshservice right now and have integrated it pretty heavily into our environment, so it would be hard to move away from it. For the most part, we are happy with Freshservice and the ease of use it gives us in managing tickets through the system. The only complaint we've had is customer service.

The UI design of Freshservice is simple and intuitive. You don't have to be a technical expert to navigate your way into the different pages/modules available. There are no buttons that are hidden in plain sight. Even our HR team required little to no help when they started using Freshservice.
Its incredibly versatile, but that leads to complexity for the uninitiated, which can be intimidating. Nevertheless its a well polished product, in our case leading to only using it for a focus on frontend is still more cost effective than buying a one-to-rule-them-all tool...

In our 3 years of using Freshservice, we've experienced several outages in the first 2 years. There were times where it only took minutes or hours but there are also times where it took a few days. Each time, Freshservice remained transparent and constantly communicated their progress. We haven't had one in the past year which indicates Freshservice have improved their servers.
Pages load quickly but internet connectivity can also play a big role. Integrations doesn't affect the performance but internet connectivity may be a big factor. As a company with most employees working from home, different network providers from different areas/countries can have different experiences. Search load time needs improvement.
Excellent. Every time I spoke to someone from the team they were very helpful. Last meeting we had they went over some features we were not using and explained how we could get the most out of our contract with them. Not many companies have this level of (actual human) support. The push to AI is nice but talking to actual experts is a lot nicer and to the point.

Their documentation is pretty good, but only available in English. This makes it difficult for some of our users to understand. There are also some basic video courses available.

Creating the correct groups for the stakeholders and enabling the right notifications are one of the most important aspect of the implementation. Creating Change templates will also help in the long run and it's a good practice to create one, if applicable.
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
Freshservice is on par with ManageEngine SD Plus in terms of: 1. No/Low code configuration, 2. ITSM module certification 3. SLA 4. CMDB etc. However, the level of support that ManageEngine offers with its post-sales engineer is better than that of Freshservice. While using ServiceNow, they lack many features, as ServiceNow is enriched with numerous modules and an app engine, allowing for customization without OEM assistance.

It is cheaper and offers better support for front-end applications for enterprise large environments with more then 30 scrum teams and hundreds of micro frontend applications. The configuration options, both with the agent and from the user interface, are superior to other tools, and the documentation is also very easy to use.

Freshservice allows flexibility with contract terms and pricing model. Monthly and annual payments are allowed. The unit pricing needs a bit of improvement. It would be great if they offer unit pricing per capability instead of one pricing for all the capabilities. Small businesses have different use cases and not every agent needs all the modules available.
We were able to scale easily across multiple departments. As our company keeps growing, we have not needed to change anything in terms of scaling since we started using Freshservice. There were no changes to the admin and end-user experience from when we were a 1,000-employee company vs to our current head count of 2,000+.

Alleviate our support team by providing knowledge directly to the end users.
Better response times from our IT support team, thanks to automation and dashboard use.
Better tracking of our assets by assigning them to users so we know which device was handed out to who. During off-boarding, we know which devices to ask back.
