We use it to monitor for errors. Create JIRA tasks from it. It's a one-stop tool to report and fix errors for us.
  • Aggregate errors
  • Monitor for errors
  • Reporting occurence of errors
  • Providing more details about an error
  • Ability to subscribe to specific errors
  • Reproducing an error
Airbrake is well suited for one purpose more than others is for it be a places where all errors are reported. This way we don't have to look for errors in multiple places. All errors are aggregated and captured so which makes it easy for developers to go back to them to review and fix as necessary.
  • Error reporting
  • Error details
  • Notification through slack
  • I am not sure about this one
There is too much info available in Datadog so finding errors sometimes becomes harder.

We use Airbrake to actively monitor every end user's experience with our products. All of our services are monitored by Airbrake and it is the first place we check when something goes wrong. It has also helped detect several issues that went unreported.
  • Reports errors that aren't being reported to us
  • Helps to quickly identify which specific line of code is causing issues
  • Prioritizes issues by identifying which server created them
  • 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.
Airbrake is very well suited for quickly tracking down and identifying the root cause of bugs. It is also very good to make sure the recently shipped code is performing well. It is not as well suited for teams that already have several other platforms for monitoring, because it can be forgotten in lieu of performance dashboards etc.
  • Quickly reporting all errors
  • Tracing them to the commit
  • We are able to quickly reduce the scale of impact when bugs happen. This is the main value.
We use Airbrake alongside monitoring and alerting platforms. Airbrake is good for tracking small bugs down but it would be nice if it integrated more seamlessly with other performance monitoring platforms.

We use Airbrake in our Dev and QA teams are using it as an error monitoring tool, and it has been amazing. Great UI, easy to drill into the errors. It's great how they roll up errors of similar types intelligently. The "Occurrences" view is especially helpful to know which errors are infrequent and which deserve higher attention.
  • It is easy to setup with popular frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Python.
  • By linking Airbrake error alerts to HipChat notifications, we get great high-level alerts whenever an error happens.
  • Configurability!
  • Better pricing.
  • It was really difficult to backtrace all log files to catch my apps errors.
  • Error limits are not that big per plan.
Airbrake has given our dev team a proactive capability allowing us to many times get ahead of the curve when it comes to knowing about system errors. Every exception that is thrown in production gets duly reported to our Slack channel and can be reacted upon.
  • Integration with Slack.
  • Cool error tracking.
  • It helps us daily to find unhandled exceptions and fix them.
  • Only positive impact so far.
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 Review

Airbrake is used by several Engineering Teams to alert them of issues.
  • Immediate alerting of issues.
  • Slack integration.
  • Relatively easy navigation.
  • Different API keys for different teams within the same org prevent engineers from other teams from seeing the errors.
  • Not aggregating exceptions when they differ in uuid text only.
  • Independently resolve exceptions after they stop happening for a while.
Well suited for: Quick alerting on errors in production. Less appropriate for: Long-term metrics on errors.
  • Slack integration.
  • Error occurrence counter.
  • Error status.
  • Mitigate losses more quickly.
  • Efficiency improvement for engineers.
  • Slow follow ups: not auto-resolving the alerts after they're done firing.
Airbrake was chosen prior to those systems and prior to my start at the company so I don't know the reasons for choosing it.

Whole org, it allows us to efficiently debug issues especially during content delivery. It makes pinpointing errors very easy and the custom aggregations are fantastic. We have implemented Airbrake across multiple applications, we rely often on it when writing code in order to raise issues that may be unexpected during deployment.
  • Logs Errors
  • Provides backtraces
  • Custom Aggregations of Airbrake Messages
  • User Friendly
  • Search Functionality could be improved
  • Environment Param should be a drop down rather than a manually typed search field
Its great at logging errors and exceptions, it gives very detailed information as to number of occurrences, time of occurrences, backtrace information, the request params and the ability to aggregate by certain criteria, it even provides for custom aggregate fields. It is less appropriate if you are expecting to use it as logs, while it is great at exception and error handling, logging everything to Airbrake is not a good idea as it quickly becomes too cluttered
  • Custom Aggregation
  • Multiple Applications
  • Notifications
  • Increased Ability to Identify Errors
  • Support for gathering more information on bugs and issues
  • Post Deployment Confidence
