    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 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,

    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.

    Sentry
    • 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.

    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.

    Sentry
    • Alert Configuration. Would be really helpful to have multiple logical groupings within the "If" section of a single configurable alert.
    • Alert Copying. Being able to copy an alert from one project to another would be super beneficial.
    • Alert Tags. Better UI around how we select which tags are getting sent with each alert instead of a tiny text box.

    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...

    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

    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.

    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

    • So it has helped us for quick error resolutions.
    • From dashboard we are able to assign errors to particular member and see when its resolved.
    • Without customer informing us about errors we know what happened in real time helps in customer service also.
