If you're not currently doing any JS error tracking or are just getting started, TrackJS is a great solution. If you are looking for a more technical solution, something like NewRelic may be more appropriate - but if the primary user isn't going to be a web developer and you're looking for something that is easier to use, I would recommend TrackJS.

Actually, I would like to give it a score of 10 out of 10, but taking into account certain factors such as: the cost of the annual licence, the complexity of installation and configuration, the blurring of setting Splunk AppDynamics over the cloud and especially OpenShift since we use it as a container platform. So, 8 out of 10 looks perfect for it
