Noisy and confusing error reporting

The frontend error tracking is too noisy as it detects also errors out of our scope as the errors provoked by browser extensions, bots, non-supported browsers, etc.

Software Engineer

Sometimes, there are ways too many errors in the dev environment and it would be nice to be able to filter out those issues that you do not want to see while you try to focus on resolving a specific problem.

35% of reviewers feel negative about Rollbar’s handling of bugs and issues. Some users say the error tracking can be overwhelming, with too many irrelevant or duplicate errors, especially from frontend sources like browser extensions or bots. Reviewers find it difficult to filter out noise and prioritize important issues, and they sometimes struggle to interpret error details or trace errors to the correct source. Users report that the UI can become slow or buggy when handling large volumes of errors, making it harder to manage and resolve problems efficiently.

Quick and simple setup process

Engineering Manager

It's very easy to setup and has a lot of great integrations.

Programmer/Analyst

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

94% of reviewers feel positive about Rollbar’s setup process. Some users report that getting started with Rollbar is straightforward, with clear instructions and easy configuration across multiple languages and frameworks. Reviewers indicate that setup rarely interferes with existing code and is typically completed quickly, even for complex environments. They find the initial deployment painless and appreciate that maintenance and updates are simple to manage. Users think the smooth setup allows them to focus on monitoring errors without being bogged down by complicated installation steps.

Seamless integration with tools

Development Manager

Integration into things like Slack are amazingly useful for highlighting Nth errors.

100% of reviewers feel positive about Rollbar’s integrations. Users consistently mention how easy and fast it is to connect Rollbar with various environments and frameworks, including Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and Laravel. Reviewers appreciate the wide range of available integrations, especially with Slack, Github, JIRA, and Heroku, which help streamline error tracking and team collaboration. They find the process straightforward, often taking just minutes, and value the immediate visibility and notifications these integrations provide for both frontend and backend applications.

Director

It is incredibly useful and detailed with regards to notifying us about bugs, errors and issues within our code or that users are having.

Software Developer

We deployed Rollbar in under an hour and the event lots started streaming in immediately.

Within a day it had helped us solve several production issues.

IT Engineer

Rollbar comes in four editions, Free, Essentials, Advanced and Enterprise, so depending on which edition you find to be suitable for your budget and you can start with the free edition so that you get the feel on how  it works. If you are programmer and you are looking for a suitable partner to help you with coding, fast error tracking  allowing you to take note of the errors.

Executive, Zonal sales

Easy to track, beautiful dashboard, help to getting alart on bugs, mainly customized and categoried.

 Software Developer

Rollbar is the best error tracking tool out there.

Developer

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.

Errors are presented as items, where you can immediately see frequency and a brief description. If you want, you can explore an item to know exactly where it happen (I mean, which line of code and entire stack trace), and even you can see each case to know the exact user operation that throws this error.

I like the versatility of Rollbar as we are able to use it for error logging, system alerts and as a notification system whenever certain events happen.

My favorite feature is with a given error they include the stack-trace in my code and who wrote the code that is erroring out.

Senior Software Engineer

The error grouping sometimes is not perfect and impacts in how much time I should dedicate to group errors properly in order to identify the real amount of errors and occurrences of the same problem in different parts of the application.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an error tracking tool.

Director, Administrative Systems

We still have some Perl scripts (one of our vendor's systems still uses it) and it would be nice to have a Rollbar API for those scripts to prevent getting angry phone calls if the system is having issues.

Full Stack Engineer

I love to keep tracking errors with a valuable data like how many times error popup, by how many different IP addresses etc.

Head of Engineering

Doing custom searches look like they could be really useful but are is really slow compared with more general purpose logging tools like ELK/CloudWatch/Splunk and I wish it was possible to expand and change the time periods of the graphs.

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 interface can be a little bit complicated but in due one can get used with it.

Manager, App Development, Training

One minor gripe I have is when viewing a list of all occurrences of an item, I often mistakenly click the "request.uri" link when I want to get more details about that occurrence.

software engineer

Anytime a user of our site hits an error Rollbar catches it and tells us, and we have a great amount of information for debugging the error later.

Good thing about Rollbar is tracks each and every error occurred from the system, also we can log error from our code

Lider de desarrollo front end

I love the ability to check the stack remotely and with it the browser types in case of our react app.

Sr. DevOps Engineer

We were looking a solution where we can send and collect production errors and notify the team over Slack to fix them ASAP.

Founder, Software Developer

I think that some of the UI could be improved a bit on the admin dashboard, some things are really nit-picky like I don't like the way that text or lines wrap in certain places.

Rollbar allows me and my team to detect and solve errors when anomalies occurs.

Business Owner/Software Developer

Interface is very intuitive and have option to set up many notification destinations (we use Slack + daily reports on mail).

This information does usually exist, but it could be pushed more to the forefront (or perhaps users could have more customization options so that they can configure Rollbar to expose this information).

Software Engineer-II

I wanted to mock the function calls using the widely accepted method of converting the function to a struct and call via an interface.

Technical Lead 

Very easy to manage my application error logs, can get notification on Slack and i can easily track errors coming to my users and can fix it promptly

Principal Software Engineer

We use it purely for javascript and a great way to get realtime alerting and visibility of errors

I'd like if Rollbar adds an X days pass like feature, where I don't have to revoke their access manually.

President & CEO

It is very to see errors as they get logged in the system so that we can identify, prioritize and fix software issues.

We use Rollbar to identify bugs on our site and quickly give us more detail about the issue.

For example, some hyperlinks navigate to a Rollbar page, while others navigate to the hyperlink's actual URL.

Engineer

Bad. If I get paged because of an error or see an anomaly that I have configured to alert me via Rollbar, I will use another tool to see what the issue might be.

Product Engineer

The best thing is that when you’re setting up a new service it very easy to setup with your standard logger like log4j. And then voila you have your errors in the rollbar dashboard.

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.

Technical Lead

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

We have setup all the environments in rollbar but there is no ability to map each to its own git branch.

Architect

The fact that Rollbar captures the entire current local bars from a stack trace in Python.

Intermediate Software Developer

The documentation and tutorials make it seamless the UI for viewing exceptions is very well laid out and straightforward.

Software engineer

The couple of times using Rollbar where the service is down they haven't updated their status page until hours into the incident.

I'd like to run RQL faster and have simple editor or code-completion aid to write RQL queries easier.

Now that we have been using it I could never go back to not using a solution like this, you get detailed knowledge of customer-facing issues before they raise a ticket.

Web Programmer

Working with large amounts of instances of the same error or warning can get very frustrating because of the limitations of RQL.

Partner

Captures every client-side error that happens and aggregate everything into user-friendly dashboard.

There are some places that require extra clicking after UI redesign, e.g. "Settings" for project.

Implementation Specialist

When configured properly, this tool allows multiple layers of teams to troubleshoot.

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.

Mid-size Business

Users think Rollbar offers competitive pricing, with a free plan that covers many basic needs and allows small projects or websites to get started easily. Reviewers appreciate that pricing is based on event volume rather than user count, which they find logical and cost-effective. Some users say the free tier provides a generous feature set, making it easy to try out and scale. However, some reviewers feel the free plan is insufficient for bootstrapping startups and indicate that costs can rise quickly as usage grows, especially for early-stage or small businesses. Some users report finding it a bit expensive.

This review synthesizes user experiences and highlights the key features, benefits, and challenges associated with Azure DevOps.

IT Director

The service provides a lot under the one package, task management, source control, CI/CD, and release pipelines. If you are a small team or just starting off, you'll be able to take advantage of it all for either free, or very little money.

Agile Consultant

Fast learning curve for teams to be onboarded.

Product Owner

If you don't care about being up to date about what is going on in your projects, it's brilliant. If you want to know when someone comments on your ticket, don't even bother.
