Considered Both Products
Airbrake
Chose Airbrake
We use them in combination but I would say it’s the exception and stick trace details and the focus on that.
Chose Airbrake
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!
Chose Airbrake
There is too much info available in Datadog so finding errors sometimes becomes harder.
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.
Chose Airbrake
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.
Chose Airbrake
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.
Chose Airbrake
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.
BugTracker.net
Chose BugTracker.net
I didn't choose the product or evaluate other options, but I've been satisified with it except for tracking content changes.
Chose BugTracker.net
In previous companies I have used, Spira Team, Jira, IBM Rational Clear Quest and Quality Center.

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.

It is a great Bug Tracking tool when implemented and set up the correct way initially. If you find yourself in the position of having to go through and re name fields on a project level of having to do an overhaul of the user base you will find some frustrations, these are noted in the last question.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Tracking technical issues and assigning for review and completion
  • Tracking final status and quality of an application or website

Cons
  • 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.

  • If you edit a field you have created (Username, status, custom fields) you lose the ability to sort/filter on this field.
  • It would be nice to add more custom fields on a project specific level. Currently you can only add 3
  • It would be FANTASTIC if you could sort/filter on Project Specific custom fields.

Return on Investment
  • 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

  • Decreased turn around time for defect fixes.
  • Smoother builder deploys
  • Clearer communication from QA to Dev Team
