What do you like best about the product?

Overall as an error reporting service, it works really well! Grouping, identifying people impacted, escalating issues into ticket trackers, keeping our team informed via the Slack integration - it's a critical piece of our dev-ops workflows.

What do you dislike about the product?

I like the people-impacted feature so much I wish they'd take it further! You can't quite clear out resolved issues from a person's history, and can't group people by customer account.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem of error collection at scale, and circling up with impacted customers when errors occur, or fixes are deployed. We have many moving parts, and Rollbar has helped us keep each operating cleanly.

What do you like best about the product?

Being able to see all the in sites to what is happening in the code is invaluable. The amount of detail it provides for an error is very useful, such as full stack reports from within mobile apps. The cross platform ability is top notch. The fact that we can drop this SDK into our Java backend, JS front end, and both Android and iOS mobile apps makes tracking all errors across all platforms the best. I can't believe I went years without this, I'll never write a new project without integrating Rollbar from the start.

What do you dislike about the product?

Trying to organize all the error reports. It takes some time to figure out how everything gets reported and the best way to structure all the errors. Once you do though it's worth it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to see errors in production in real-time is helping us to fix bugs before users can even report them. Often users are seeing critical errors that would prevent them from using the product and not even report it. With this we can fix it and keep users happy.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Just give it a try. It takes a bit to get setup and going, but once your going you'll wonder how you lived without it.

What do you like best about the product?

I truly like the interface, it extremely adjusted and gives me all data I need. I can undoubtedly channel warnings by sort, source and more to help and upgrade my work process. I adore how simple it to incorporate with my ventures. Rollbar is anything but difficult to set up, only a couple of lines of code.

What do you dislike about the product?

I like everything and I don't meet any awful issue here. Amid my work, I like how that program works. Exceptionally helpful programming. A simple method to set up. The stage is verified. Which is useful for every one of your envelopes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to be the best, so any mistakes in our task are basic and should be evacuated in all respects rapidly. Rollbar causes us accomplish this objective.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

A decent method to work all the more simple and clear make for everybody is justifiable. Simple to set up.

What do you like best about the product?

Captures all the javascript errors on our websites. Groups occurances of the same error together. Good reporting. Fast.

What do you dislike about the product?

We have lots of errors that we ignore... would be nice to categorise these more.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Once we implemented Rollbar I spent the next couple of days fixing all the JS errors that I hadn't even realised were happening on our website, cause no-one had ever told me that they were there.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you're using the free-plan then set rate limits so that if there's a spike in errors you don't use all your credit on one day.

What do you like best about the product?

I really like the interface, it very balanced and gives me all information I need. I can easily filter notifications by type, source and more to support and enhance my workflow. I love how easy it to integrate with my projects. Rollbar is easy to set up, just a few lines of code.

What do you dislike about the product?

As in many similar products, there are small problems with notification filtering. Otherwise, this service suits me all. I am waiting for new and interesting features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to be the best, so any errors in our project are critical and need to be removed very quickly. Rollbar helps us achieve this goal.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Rollbar is а very powerful solution, give it a chance. There is a trial period, so if your application or project has a small number of errors and bugs, you can have a free version.

What do you like best about the product?

We like how we can manage each error like an incident in Pagerduty or a ticket in Zendesk. It's also great that we can edit those individual incidents or merge them if they don't happen to combine neatly as the data is fed into Rollbar.

What do you dislike about the product?

Rollbar is pretty straightforward, but we do wish you could have more granular control of the environments. Another challenge for us is the API is structured that we can't easily pull that data into our data warehouse.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previously, our error information was all stored in hard to parse emails. Now, all of our errors are in Rollbar where we can search and query (for the most part). Hunting down issues and seeing if new issues crop up after a deployment is much easier.

What do you like best about the product?

I already use this product on 2 projects. I love how I get all needed information and how fast it notifies me by email on any given problem and the trello integration

What do you dislike about the product?

I can't currently think of anything.. this product gives me everything I wanted

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were having problems knowing about exceptions when they happen on a rails application.

Other solutions didn't have a great UI to manage the exception or they cost too much money.

What do you like best about the product?

Real time error reporting. Intelligent clustering and grouping of error occurrences by 10^n. Lots of flexibility in alerting rules.

Team Rollbar--I LOVE you guys and your wonderful service! This review is far too long overdue.

Let me save you a bunch of time and make the decision for you. If you're not already using an error tracking platform, you must. If you're deciding between which services to use, just go with Rollbar, and stop deliberating.

Rollbar is hands-down, THE BEST full-stack application error and exception monitoring/tracking system.

I was an early user and first started using Rollbar in early 2012 (back when it was still called Ratchet.io). Suffice it to say, it has completely transformed and leveled-up the way I build and write applications.

Rollbar is now a must-have for any application I build. TDD? Yeah, could do that, or you can just be more lean and start building, and Rollbar will catch all of your exceptions for you. Large team? Even more so that you need Rollbar, so that you can detect and fix errors before they inconvenience your users.

Here are the reasons for why I think Rollbar is great:

Best thing since sliced bread - For the developers in the late 90's to early 2000's who remember it, just as Firebug and later on Chrome Developer Tools was to JavaScript development, so is Rollbar to development on any stack. Before, with writing JavaScript in Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer 4.0, all you had to go off of was that there was a JS error and the JS on a page was completely broken. Developers familiar with that old debugging technique will shake their heads today--manual binary search, commenting out parts of code until it started working again--those days are gone. Now, with Rollbar, you can know with certainty what parts of your application, down to the specific line(s) of code, are causing the exception.

Rollbar has an exceptional, world-class team. Rollbar is built by engineers, for engineers. I know because I've worked with a few folks at team Rollbar, including the founder/CEO Brian Rue, who has been a mentor and advisor to me at a few startups, and some of my elite former colleagues who were hand-picked to join the Rollbar team. They are extremely talented hackers and engineers.

Rollbar scales, an is extremely reliable. We're not just talking Mickey Mouse pretend scale, but they actually do. Guess what? Unlike most of the rest of the web, they're actually NOT primarily an AWS-based stack (yeah, because AWS outages can cause large chunks of the web to fail). Rollbar is in multiple data centers across the world for improved latency, durability/reliability of data.

Rollbar is extremely easy to integrate and very well documented. There are modules/agents for just about every stack and programming language. A basic setup takes 5-10 minutes.

Rollbar is thoughtful. In the early days of Rollbar, data wasn't scrubbed so potentially you could see sensitive information in the notifications you got. Now, they've significantly improved the reporting agents and UI so that sensitive information can be scrubbed before sending notifications, and additional sensitive/PII fields can be configured in the interface.

Rollbar beats the pants off of their competitors. The primary competitors I'm thinking of are Sentry and New Relic. New Relic is more for infrastructure than application, and often, infrastructure smells and problems are code problems. In terms of budgeting or planning IT spend, I would maximize spending on Rollbar and maybe some more basic infrastructure monitoring like hand-rolled Nagios or even Datadog (which also totally rocks, btw) instead of New Relic. As for comparison with Sentry? See next bullet point.

Rollbar is an adult, whereas Sentry** is a kid. Sentry came out of Disqus, and was built by designer-engineers. Don't get me wrong--they have good engineers, but not as good as Rollbar's. I don't care if Sentry is more popular atm or if the UI looks better; I want to know that I can have absolute confidence in my error tracking platform and sleep better at night. If error tracking services were facial hair, Rollbar would be a full, lush beard, and Sentry would be the teenage kid with sporadic prickly hairs here and there and some peach fuzz on the side. Rollbar doesn't rate-limit by default, which means you get all of your exception occurrences notified and tracked. It is 4K Ultra HD, if you will. (Though, to help manage costs and temper noise, you can set custom rate limits per API key--this is so powerful!) Sentry rate-limits by default, resulting in "sampling" error tracking which isn't full coverage and leaves you erroneously thinking that your app is in better health than it actually is.

Rollbar is "multi-tenant" (similar to GitHub) in the sense that you can have one user account affiliated with multiple organizations and projects. This is a nice added convenience.

Rollbar is enterprise-ready and has on-premise deployments.

As of this review, it's 2016--why aren't you using Rollbar yet? If you're still trying to hand-roll your own error logging system, I would seriously question you or your company's technical competence.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing, this software is the-bomb-diggity-dot-com.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Rollbar, you are able to discover and fix errors before your users do. This is a huge business value.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Rollbar has an excellent freemium model. Once you start using it, you can set up rate limits to not trip into higher usage tiers or overage costs.

Any software company that has any serious plans of scaling should implement Rollbar ASAP.

What do you like best about the product?

It instantly reports all the exceptions that occurs in my ruby server apps. I like it is by default awesome, but as well let's you log and custom report anything you like by the use of an API. You can also add extra parameters to associated to each exception.
The pricing is among the best of all as of early 2016.

What do you dislike about the product?

The UI needs lots of improvements. It's sad because the product features are amazing, I'd make a refresh of the UX/UI with a add more real time approach.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to monitor my startup backend.
