Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • It's a bit slow when we want to search for the older logs.
  • Default logs are available only for 30 days, if logs are available for longer duration then it would be great.
  • If it will show the data in graphical representation than it would be awesome because then will get to know the error occurrences and type in graph.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
