Airbrake vs. Google Cloud Operations Suite

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.

Easy to set up in all environments. With this tool, the company is now able to measure both well-functioning data and data that needs immediate intervention. This early detection facilitates decisions about actions to correct the disorder and improve indexes. Stackdriver is now essential for the company's security and monitoring team and we plan to expand to other branches.

• 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.

• All the application error reporting available at a single place.
• You will get the real-time application error and alerts.
• It's really easy to use and no need to worry for the setup.

• 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.

• For searching and filtering the logs the system is slow sometimes.
• An agent needs to be installed in each VM to monitor specific metrics.
• The pricing model is confusing.

It is also a great problem detection tool, and this is extremely important for General Motors.

The user can count on the ease of flexible panels and advanced visualization tools that help to identify problems. Among the most common, we can mention:

- containment of hosts;

- cloud provider limitation;

- hardware wear.

And also Stackdriver Integration with other Google Cloud data tools such as BigQuery, Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage and Cloud Database.

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

• 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

• We completely depends on Stackdriver for error monitoring and reporting.
• Stackdriver is very simple to use and available at default.
• Stackdriver is the key part for our business to get the insight of our application behavior.
