BugHerd vs. Sentry

Bugherd is well suited to our needs because it's an intuitive tool that doesn't require a ton of training, and we are working with a development agency to improve our backend and communicate issues to developers. From what I've seen, it does require you to use Chrome, which might not be perfect for other companies but it great for us. The tool has great functionality for tracking and allows you to move bugs into stages like "doing", "done" or "backlog". The screenshot tool has been super easy to use, and when we do have a bug that requires multiple screenshots, it's easy to open up a newly submitted ticket to attach a custom screenshot. It isn't easy to track down a specific bug you've logged if there are hundreds, so be prepared to dig quite a bit if you're using it for extensive testing and find yourself trying to go back

[Sentry] is honestly an amazing product. It allows us to detect errors in real time complete with stack traces and any extra accompanying information the developer wants to provide in the alert. With the alerting into Slack it has allowed us to quickly triage and tag in people who need eyes on a specific issue. It would be really useful in any Saas product environment.

• It's easy to install and use.
• It's easy for clients as well as our internal teams to use and input feedback.
• It's easy to use and helps gather information a client/user may not normally supply.

• It collects very detailed information on problems that happen to our users while using the platform
• It supplies very good tools in order to aggregate the collected data and analyze it
• It integrates with Slack, making it easier to "monitor it in real time"

• The ability to add a couple more columns temporarily would be nice.

• if we could decrease the costing via some kind of sampling of errors.
• sometimes same error is in loop and Sentry will count all the events for pricing if there is any way this can be reduced.
• self hosted capabilities or using own storage to reduce cost.

BugHerd is an easy-to-use, highly intuitive tool that fits seamlessly into our web development process. It is easy for all users to use, web developers, project managers, testers and clients. Clients are able to easily pin bugs and provide explanatory feedback that allows our team to fix what is broken and incorporate client feedback.

Truthfully, we have had very little need for BugHerd support, as the tool is intuitive and does not have many bugs of its own. They have a pretty solid help/FAQ section and their support people have been reasonably responsive the few times we have needed to contact customer support. We have had our issues resolved and questions answered.

BugHerd is more focused on web-based tools, which we needed, as opposed to app-based tools like Instabug. Jira has a much higher level of complexity and barrier to entry and didn't suit our use case.

We actually ended up using both because New Relic is a more robust overall IT infrastructure monitoring product. However, sentry is more developer oriented on the backend and more client friendly on the front end as far as showing results and the dashboard etc. It can provide product level insights that New Relic does not.

• BugHerd has reduced our testing and bug-fixing time by up to 25% per project.
• BugHerd has increased client satisfaction by making it painless to provide us feedback and report bugs during the final phase of the website project.
• BugHerd has also decreased the time that our project managers have to spend tracking bugs and reporting to the development team.

• Error tracking is a must in any modern dynamic website or app. By looking into the error notifications I'm able to fix errors before anyone even has a chance to complain about them!
• Surprisingly, many website issues aren't showing up in Sentry, because they don't trigger exceptions. I'm interested in seeing if I can use Sentry to catch manually-triggered exceptions for "undesirable states" that my website can find itself in. Of course, that means I have to figure out how to have my client code recognize that it's in an undesirable state...
