We use Airbrake to monitor problems on our frontend application. All the problems that escape the tests or the devices not taken into consideration.
  • Identify problems on devices we cannot test on
  • Give an overview of the most frequent problems
  • Report any information necessary for resolution
  • Some installation difficulties on particular less known frameworks
Airbrake works best in areas where the code is not minified or compiled.

We use Airbrake to track multiple things: the errors that appear in the console of the end-users, to make sure that our product works as intended and to get notified about any error before the user reaches out to our Customer Care team (and get more information about the error) track the failed API calls that we have sent from our frontend. We use this to check faulty implementations or how the user is misusing our software so we can foolproof it better :D we made it kinda a habit to keep an eye on those numbers, we don't strive to get it to 0 but for stability.
  • Report errors
  • Versioning
  • Aggregated errors are not so clear why they got grouped together
  • Not clear why some filters don't work
If you care about tracking the quality of your implementation and connection between the frontend and backend. It is close to useless for old software that is outdated and generates lots of noisy errors because they usually spike for little reason and it is hard to tell real errors from the noisy ones.

Airbrake has been a very useful tool to troubleshoot issues or errors I experience during development and in the production environment. Airbrake has been useful to catch conditions we may not have caught during internal testing or catch unexpected use cases of our product which were not tested for during internal testing. This helps us with debugging and be able to resolve bugs in our product before escalation from our end users.
  • Alerts
  • Catch Edge cases
  • Debugging
  • Initial setup was little confusing
Would recommend it to development teams who are looking for realtime debug information and be able to catch bugs before end uses discover them in production

Airbrake helps with letting us know of errors to look into, while also showing stack traces. This is extremely useful for debugging and to help make sure our software is running in tip-top shape.
  • Error Notifications
  • Stack Traces
  • missing information to help pinpoint debugging
I honestly love the product. It has helped solved issues locating errors, where otherwise it would have taken a super long time.

When I started work in the team here we didn’t have any frontend error alerting whatsoever, and all the backend alerts were based on filtered log analysis. This was fairly hard to work with, and I was sure we were missing a lot of errors. I pushed for, and then implemented, Airbrake on frontend and then backend and the benefits were large and immediate. We found hundreds of thousands of frontend errors were occurring, and the bulk of them were simple things to fix once we were aware. We also got more timely alerts about backend problems, helping us take a more proactive approach to fixing the system.
  • Frontend error alerting and analysis
  • Backend error alerting
  • Recording and prioritisation of errors based on frequency
  • Integration with deployment pipelines to check for errors in a new release
  • I would *love* (and pay more!) if Airbrake also provided an integrated log collection service that was aligned with the error reporting
  • It can be awkward to distinguish between errors in our frontend application and in browser plugins being run by users
  • Given how wide the aggregate view Airbrake themselves have, perhaps they could identify and suggest best-practice solutions to common errors?
  • Browser errors in different user locales show up separately in different languages, even though they are really the same error
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.

We use Airbrake to monitor errors that occur in our Rails applications. We have many different applications and different environments, and Airbrake helps us catch errors at different stages of release. It also allows us to group errors and prioritize which ones to fix.
  • Airbrake has configurable notifications
  • Airbrake groups errors and allows sorting by most recent or most occurences
  • Airbrake has integrations with tools such as Jira
  • The error grouping can be confusing and seems inconsistent
  • Searching for errors is tricky
  • Sometimes errors don't include the relevant information in parameters, this is probably a configuration issue but it doesn't make it clear how to fix it.
When building a Rails application, I would definitely recommend Airbrake. We also use logging services such as Datadog, which could have some overlapping functionality, but Airbrake is great at specifically monitoring errors.

Airbrake help us to achieve clean code in the repo. As a big organization having multiple repos to be handled, Airbrake keep us updated about the missing error.
  • Clarity
  • Ability to close resolved errors
  • Ability to mute unwanted errors
  • Timely email trigger
  • Would like to see a personal dashboard to wishlist and follow certain errors
Airbrake can be easily integrated with any apps.

We use Airbrake to monitor the health of our site and alert us to errors in our testing and production environments. Our primary users are the Engineering and QA Teams, though Product and Project Managers also receive notifications for visibility into potential problem areas.
  • Compilation of frequently occurring errors
  • Overview of performance-related metrics (requests, response time, etc)
  • Integration with GitHub and Jira
  • Templates used for reporting errors are sometimes missing information when ported to Jira
  • General accessibility; the dashboard view can be difficult to navigate for a non-developer
I'd recommend Airbrake primarily to those with a development or technical background. As a novice user, the interface can be too overwhelming to sort through to find the necessary information. However, the ability to configure reports that compile frequently-occurring errors has been a useful component of communicating between Business, QA, and Engineering. We're better able to identify areas that seem problematic, as well as define timelines and impact. For my role, I use Airbrake as a component of our site's health metrics in combination with other reporting platforms, and not as a standalone.

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
