Rollbar – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

The best part about Rollbar is the very even UI that permits you to see all mistakes followed for different situations including testing, arranging, and creation. I love the amazing way simple it is to coordinate with various dialects. Following customer side javascript is overly helpful with full stack follows to show you precisely what turned out badly. It's anything but difficult to see patterns in different bugs and imprint bugs as unraveled without any problem. The arrangement alternatives are generally great arrangements and it's anything but difficult to get ready for action, Rollbar is magnificent!

Nachteile

Here and there it's somewhat hard to tell where to discover a few alternatives on the grounds that they aren't generally similarly situated.
Missing disconnected assembling usefulness for JavaScript, however, I haven't discovered it in any item.

Vorteile

It's very helpful for debugging and seeing errors in real time to quickly address.

Nachteile

my biggest complaint is when looking at stack traces for errors, the line numbers don't line up with line numbers in your files. this can make for a little bit of a goose chase when trying to find an errant line of code.

Vorteile

Good language support. Good both for frontend and backend error tracking. Quick to set up notification (e.g. slack messages) for multiple projects thanks to "copy notification settings from existing project" feature. Very easy to comprehend pricing and packaging.

Nachteile

Grouping of errors could be better out of the box. But it's not like Rollbar is worse than any of the competition in this regards and they do offer manual configuration to solve common grouping mistakes.

Vorteile

We have a rails application with.a large amount of javascript involved. Rollbar does an excellent job capturing rails exceptions. These errors are clear and understandable. The javascript errors are based on the minified version of the code. Javascript errors are not easily actionable. I will need to learn how to use a sourcemap so that I can zero in on the exact cause of the exception.

Nachteile

Needing to use a sourcemap on my javascript files. I could use a good tutorial on how to do this! I have not had any time to do thorough research on creating a sourcemap. Until that is done, though, I'm afraid the javascript exceptions( There are a lot of errors!) are not actionable.

Vorteile

Uptime, easy to use api, live feed, rql, people tracking, exceptional support

Nachteile

Unified dashboard between projects would be great, but can be implemented with their api

Vorteile

Rollbar is a technical support team's dream. I rarely walk past our tech department and fail to see this on their screens. It allows you to monitor errors that your clients are experiencing and triage them appropriately. Sometimes Rollbar can help solve the problem with little diagnosis when consistent issues arise. I love the free plan that allows you to view 5,000 errors each month. For a small operation, this may be enough.

Nachteile

After moving on from the free plan, the cost can be prohibitive. While the cost does increase, you do get what you pay for. We have spent time on all 3 plans that Rollbar offers, and have found our happy medium on Essentials.

Vorteile

The features are generally fine, and similar to competitors

Nachteile

Their API has had a lot of serious incidents recently that takes hours to resolve

Vorteile

I've used a lot of error tracking tools in the past but I was really pleased with Rollbar.

For node applications it's very well laid out, keys are provided for you server and your client setup.

Errors are tracked and logged for your application, broken down by which side the error occured.

And if an error has been recurring you can track it and log it easily, plus the emails give a good breakdown of the error from the code side.

Nachteile

None at present, I may like the UI navigation to be improved so you can administer the setup quicker but once it's in place it kind of runs itself.

Vorteile

It does its job. Reliably, consistently. It has our back.

Nachteile

The UI could be improved: some times too many clicks to find the information we need.

Vorteile

-Has a great integration with our software stack (python + django)so setup is easy and it captures a great amount of debugging information out of the box
-Groups errors nicely, but also moves them up when they occur again
-Good alerting rules

Nachteile

It can be spammy if you have a lot of errors, it's not really Rollbar's fault and there are many tools to ignore spammy errors.

Vorteile

The setup and integration with popular frameworks such as Ruby on Rails was easy and we have used it for at least five years with no issues.

Nachteile

Rollbar does a good job trying to group similar errors but of course there is always room for improvement in this area since it requires advanced pattern matching, machine learning, etc.

Vorteile

The old version works, after I patched it so it would compile and also so it didn't crash.

Nachteile

I had to patch it so it would compile and and also so it didn't crash.

First time I upgraded the new version was missing crucial features.

The second time I updated, thinking it would be better, but it just crashed our app in a different way.

I've fallen back to the old version twice now.

Your iOS team is not good. Missing basic understanding of Objective-C, Objective-C libraries, and QA.

Vorteile

Setup is relatively easy
Easy to see all the issues
Integrations with jira & slack

Nachteile

The RQL feature is quite difficult to use, most times it times out. I think this will be fixed with further updates.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Rollbar

Vorteile

Rollbar makes it very easy to see where and how frequently bugs in your programs crop up. Rollbar can also be early warnings for other monitoring platforms like Datadog, and indicate something is wrong before your other alarms start going off. The tracebacks on the errors are super helpful and since you can add whatever metadata you want pinpointing problems is made a lot easier.

Nachteile

The error grouping is not also on point, and it's *so easy* to use Rollbar that you will end up spending a lot of time trying to determine which errors actually merit throwing a Rollbar error, and your Rollbar slack channel will definitely get noisy if you don't stay on top of it.

Vorteile

The setup is very simple and the instant notifications for any unhandled issues make this product very attractive to use. It is very developer friendly.

Nachteile

I do not have anything to add which I find less useful.

Vorteile

The best thing is the telemetry support that Rollbar introduced last year. With it we're able to see not just errors, but where they came from, who else has seen the same errors and impact on our user base. The grouping support (grouping bugs together) is starting to become robust as well, which is helpful for making sure you're not seeing 100s of the same errors in the UI.

Nachteile

The grouping support is not quite there yet, and needs to improve. I'd love to see bidirectional rollbar integration (jira > rollbar, rollbar > jira) and I think that's on the roadmap.

Vorteile

Dashboard with items is extremely useful. It provides many options to filter & sort all captured errors/warnings/etc. It shows many pieces of information in a clear way.
I like recent updates with custom fingerprinting that allows easier grouping of items.

Nachteile

There are some places that require extra clicking after UI redesign, e.g. "Settings" for project.
I'd like to run RQL faster and have simple editor or code-completion aid to write RQL queries easier.

Vorteile

We have been using Rollbar for last 3 years and we are not planning on quiting! WE LOVE IT! Easy to integrate into our products. Maintaining crash-free app became a lot easier. Support on HIGHEST level. INTEGRATION with JIRA is also a great add-on.

Nachteile

Integration with JIRA could be more advanced. In our company we use kanban boards and it would be a great feature if we could prepare tickets from Rollbar to automatically have every necessary field filled in.

Vorteile

easy integration, wide support, good error insights

Nachteile

sometimes our issues are spread across staging, production, separate server containers and environments - not sure how to display all of them at once

having troubles tracking errors in Embedded JS (EJS) templates

Vorteile

Being able to integrate with jira and make tickets seamlessly

Nachteile

The over grouping and under grouping feature does not work. My errors almost always have the wrong title and I often have many many duplicates of the same exact error. Also I don’t like that each new release, if an error is existing, it just makes a new error for that release.

Vorteile

The pricing structure. I have a bunch of small projects with low numbers of users.Per project pricing gets too expensive fast.

Nachteile

Having to fill out multiple free text areas in their marketing survey.

Vorteile

It is easy to set-up, and starting to use it is really easy.

Nachteile

The control panel is pretty good but some times is a little bit confuse.
The reports (PHP) some times are very useless, due to lack of information or too much unnecessary information.
The custom properties are difficult to read (plain structures is not the best way to display JSON information)

Vorteile

Monitors and alerts on new front-end errors. Easy to use it to investigate customer issues. Implementation is straightforward.

Nachteile

Default email settings can be a bit verbose.

Vorteile

It's a great tool to manage your exceptions and see right when errors are occurring that could impact the customers. We use this in conjunction with alerting tools to see when a deploy breaks something. Viewing a project shows recent errors, frequent errors, lots of helpful data.

Nachteile

No easy way to consolidate all the projects into one view.

Vorteile

It's a clean interface. The dashboard where they combine multiple projects together was a great recent feature.

Nachteile

I wish the Slack notification settings were easier to configure. Right now, it's tricky to set it up to go to multiple channels. I haven't looked into configuration through API calls though, which might make it much easier.

Vorteile

Rollbar does its job - which is keep track of exceptions. I am able to track exceptions across environments, frameworks, and languages.

Nachteile

The UI is slow to load. I additionally find the search feature to not be very helpful. Lastly, I find grouping to be difficult.

Vorteile

I like that it is easy to sort errors and which environment they're occurring on as well as the types of errors that are happening

Nachteile

Some of the features of the UI don't make a ton of sense to me...
Searching for items is really clunky. Sometimes you can search for keywords in the error titles but sometimes you cannot, seems to depend on the word or title.

Vorteile

The items page is really organised, the custom objects are very useful too.
RQL - are very handy in order to investigate specific errors occurring on our client base.

Nachteile

I wish I could tell rollbar to ignore some items and stop registering them on our account. Muting doesn't completely resolve, because it continues consuming our quota. We use the software to log some embedded systems, which are hard to update. And sometimes when there is a fix to an ocurrence in a newer version, the old ones keep triggering the old ocurrences, which we would like to no longer receive.

Vorteile

Reliable, quick, work as it should

Nachteile

none

Vorteile

The configuration options allowing me to customize the management of multiple projects. And as an addition I really like the diverse tech stack integrations for Rollbar when using diverse programming languages.

Nachteile

The amount of Rollbar API updates, too many to stay up to date reasonably without investing too much time in the maintance of the integration.

Vorteile

Rollbar helps us catch issues in production, and respond to them as quickly as possible. Without Rollbar, we would miss hundreds of issues. Seriously, it's extremely helpful.

Nachteile

The UI makes it a bit difficult to navigate. For example, some hyperlinks navigate to a Rollbar page, while others navigate to the hyperlink's actual URL.

Vorteile

Easy to use API, good error reporting interface

Nachteile

JS error API can be improved, it's dificult do debug client side errors

Vorteile

The real time error loging and mostly easy setup.

Nachteile

UI needs to lot of works to make it user friendly.Telemetry doesn't give a better picture of the error and often confusing. Suspect deploy always defaults latest deployment which make that feature useless.

Vorteile

- Price is really good
- It's realy easy to set up
- UI is intuitive and simple
- You can trace logs easily, once you setup 'People' tab
- Integration with slack and other notification tools
- Easy to integrate with Heroku's app

Nachteile

- UI could be somehow better, leaner like a sentry.io
- Features for breadcrumbs or tracing could be easier to implement
- Fingerprinting and error aggregation could be easier to setup, no complicated DSLs

Vorteile

It is very to see errors as they get logged in the system so that we can identify, prioritize and fix software issues. It is very helpful to see the errors come through that meant a user definitely got an error but it wasn't bad enough for them to contact support regarding the issue but we can still find it and get it resolved.

Nachteile

I think it would be awesome to have a button to create a github issue from the item in the errors log. It is somewhat difficult for us to track the issues in GitHub and wether they have been resolved with the items in Rollbar.

Vorteile

A concise place to find all errors. Easy to hook up to the app.

Nachteile

Many times when I try to use the web app, UI will become buggy. Things will disappear when selected, grouping doesn't work etc. This is especially difficult when I am reacting to an incident.

Vorteile

It's easy to use and has helped us keep up with anything that goes wrong much faster than if we weren't using it.

Nachteile

The UI can be pretty slow, and I wish there were a dark mode so I can put it on tvs above the developers without being super bright. I also work a lot at night and a dark mode would be great.

Vorteile

I like to design of the software, and good interface it really easy to identify the issues in production.

Nachteile

I would like to have notification test feature to test notifications configuration, I want to see some tips when configuring something

Vorteile

Easy to find out about uncaught exceptions. I am able to be notified in Slack.

Nachteile

It is a little difficult to debug an error. I think it is weird to click on the error timestamp to go to the traceback, but I don't know if there is another way. Also, website does not work well on mobile devices.

Vorteile

The product is flexible and powerful. It's very easy to setup and has a lot of great integrations.

Nachteile

Their support responses are slow and they are very, very slow to fix serious bugs.

Vorteile

I like the level of detail that the error reports provide. It makes it really easy to identify the section of the code that's causing the issue. Being able to see the parameters the caused the error is very powerful.

Nachteile

It was working great, but in the last 3 months it's randomly not capturing all errors. Although nothing has changed on our end, only some issues show up in Rollbar. The filters now seem to not be functioning correctly either.

Vorteile

How easy has been to integrate it in our services and software.
The mail notifications that inform you of new errors.

Nachteile

Nothing. For now, It has proven to be a solution for our use case.

Vorteile

It is easy to use, easy to set up, and once set up seems to be great capturing a lot of details.

Nachteile

We had a developer leave the team as the administrator. Once he left, we tried to get customer service to help us reinstate someone as an administrator. We gave them everything that would be necessary, but they couldn't help us. They were worse than unhelpful, they wasted time and resources, and due to that I can't say that I'd recommend this to anybody. Furthermore, we recently were contacted by another department within our organization that said they were added to our account and needed assistance by the administrator.... right. I don't know why somebody would add new customers to an existing account, but then again, like I said, customer service sort of killed it.

Vorteile

other than recent problems, handles notifications well. Handles overages in a fair way. Allows a lot to be collected.

Nachteile

Search is terrible. It’s very slow and often not found. If I have a problem from a customer it is nearly impossible to find that item (even if they gave us the unique ID we generated).

Vorteile

Integration is simple, concise error descriptions

Nachteile

Admin is not informative enough, the UI feels outdated

Vorteile

Easy to implement, get reliable information

Nachteile

Have a lot of missing features that would help the integration with our platform

Vorteile

the grouping works pretty well. It's good to be able to customise the error levels

Nachteile

Often, my selections for viewable levels goes back to default "error". I don't understand why critical errors are not shown by default, should be critical and error IMHO

Vorteile

It was very to use and integrate with most of the applications we develop in technologies like ROR, GO etc.

Their notifications on email, slack are instantaneous and provide real time alerts to the team.

Their resolve & re-activations are perfect that alerts teams about repeat occurrences of existing system issues.

Nachteile

Grouping of similar issues. Few times I observed similar exceptions are grouped correctly and few times they are treated separately that causes devs to dig into the list and spend more time.

Vorteile

easy to integrate, deploy and use. I also love how similar error messages are grouped so I know if a problem is affecting a lot of people or not

Nachteile

I have no complaints or critiques about Rollbar at this time.

Vorteile

Clever name I guess. Better than nothing. I miss honeybadger.

Nachteile

It’s a bad choice for AWS lambda, just painful.

The client has an inscrutable api and the typescript definitions are wrong or missing. Doesn’t even support async/await or promises.
