Software Developer - II

Errors do not get into correct versions of app sometimes. Also, I am still struggling with map files as JavaScript errors are really hard to decode without map js files.

Engineer

Error grouping is sometimes awkward. New deployments of my team's code create new errors that are duplicates.

Chief Architect

It’s a bad choice for AWS  lambda, just painful. The client has an inscrutable api and the typescript definitions are wrong or missing.

Software Engineer-II

I like how it can map the errors with timelines and usage. The most amazing thing is its seamless integration with Slack, to which we send all of our critical alerts.

CEO & Founder

We like Rollbar because it helps us to keep track of every error on our production application, have a great user interface to work with and its affordable similar services.

Lead Software Engineer - Team Lead

Real-time error tracking, as soon an error pops up on test or production environment, we get an alert on slack and act on it.

Great tool to use, easy to set up and integrate with other apps. The dashboards are easy to understand and use and see all the important details easily.

Analyst

It is best available in the market. Considering all the factors, it is on top on my list.

Software Engineer

Being able to get direct access to incidents from my phone is the most important feature - then switching to the desktop for resolution is easy.

Technical Lead

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

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.

Programmer/Analyst

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

It is really good tool, helping to stabilise the systems, enhance user experiences so they face lesser issues.

Thanks to Rollbar we are able to provide proactive customer support.

Email integration, managing errors like marking them as resolved is very easy and intuitive. Versioning in errors can be done with some few commands which can be really useful.

Engineering Manager

Seamless and easy to integrate. Comparatively cheaper and hence value for money.

Founder, Software Developer

Super happy with Rollbar. Have used it on multiple projects, but in Recipe Cost Calculator specifically for probably at least seven years.

Great as overall, the on failure is the customer services is really slow.

Bitbucket

Rollbar allows us to be proactive about our bugs. We frequently get notified about production incidents, the notifications come straight through to our developer Slack channel and we can quickly debug using the captured information and put out a fix before a customer ever notices. If they ever reach out to us, it always makes us look really good when we can say that we already know and we've fixed it.

Exceptional error monitoring

Rollbar for Production Safety

Not Very Helpful

Good for heroku & first implementation

Generally we have had a really positive experience with Rollbar. It intergrates well with other tools and really helps focus on key issues rather that occasional issues

Very helpful product

Use this tool on one big project for all platforms (backend, web, mobile) and it is good enough to cover your needs in errors or debug info reporting. At the first glance it looks like it lacks features compared with other platforms, but after some time you understand that the product has everything you would need for successful project state monitoring.

Robust reporting tool

Get notified for issues

Overall, Rollbar has worked great for my business and our website, and if any problems ever arise with the software, they have an excellent support team that responds quickly and accurately. 

Works fantastic for my business & our website!

It's an excellent tool for monitoring and tracing back production issues. I would definitely recommend.

Simple yet powerful monitoring

Really good for monitoring your micro services

Great Error reporting with minimal downtime

Very positive and better priced for its features than some of its competitors. It also helps the pricing is by volume rather than users, which makes far more sense for this kind of product.

Sure beats a shared email inbox!

I'd never really done any log management things untill my CTO brought this product to our application suite.  The time this has saved us is just incredible.  The main features that really help:

Grouping of Logs - Groups together errors so you don't get spammed.  There have been a time or two this has worked against me, but overall it really helps.  Not to mention, you can resolve errors and they'll pop back up if they happen again, so you know if something is really broken or just a one off developer bug.

Stacktrace and Local variables - Really helps that they include the full stack trace, and if you choose, can display local variables you inject.  This has made it so easy to setup some debugging features and then let them go. For those really weird bugs that you really can't seem to nail down a cause for.  

Environment Separation - Really helps to tell between a production (oh no! Lets fix this!) or a staging (fix it before pushing) kinda errors.  

I don't think I could go back to any other debugging method. In the very least, Rollbar always gives me a place to start using xdebug. At the most, I look at the information and know exactly what went wrong, and can fix it. Great product!

Error Logs Simplified

Rollbar is an absolutely fantastic service and highly-responsive support if you ever hit an issue, all at a very reasonable price point. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Best-In-Class Error Reporting

Incredible instrument for observing errors and execution in numerous situations,

Solid exception with straight forward pricing model

We're Rollbar customers for a about two years, moved to Rollbar after trying few other log aggregation services but none of them had features we needed or didn't deliver on their promise.  

We're using Ruby on Rails, integration was a breeze, started receiving error messages in less than 5 minutes. The interface is easy to use, live feed works great showing errors as they come up, resolving issues and tracking deploys flows works perfectly. Also I can't recall when Rollbar had downtime or a bug, yet we see new gem releases regularly. I wish other services we use had such a robust infrastructure as Rollbar do. 

Also I'd like to mention their exceptional support, with very quick responses from highly qualified agents that solve your problems spot on. 

With Rollbar tools we manage to resolve majority of the issues as they happen, before customers contact our support teams.

Error monitoring done right

I used to like rollbar, but they have had so many serious incidents recently that we will be moving to another provider. 

Too flakey, too many incidents

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.

Rollbar is great

Meh. It's cost me a time and effort I'd have rather spent elsewhere.

iOS SDK is Horrible and Crashes

Excellent Debugging Tool

For the most part, Rollbar works for what I want it to - which is tracking the exceptions that are thrown throughout my system. 

My Take

I'm satisfied with Rollbar. It meets my needs.

Solid tool that meets my needs

almost perfect

A Good Product

Software Developer II 

Great Tool 

Inderjeet:                                             Hey, my name is Inderjeet, and I've been working as a software dev for the last five years. And I rate Rollbar four out of five. And for more reviews like this click the link below. Rollbar I believe it gives us a really great tracking on how our applications are performing with by... let's say if a customer is having problem, before even the customer notifies us, the Rollbar notifies us, before the customer do. So that may be would be like working on the solution before it even get to the other part of this pitch. So that's a good thing.
                                                       Rollbar has a really great notification system and basically it always immediately notifies us if anything goes wrong with our applications. With Slack or Teams whatever, tools you or chat systems you are using with the company. So I would say it has a nice notification system. I believe the Rollbar is... it's UI is kind of like clunky. Basically, you have to click several times in order to do one small thing. So I believe they can really rework on their UI and they can really save us some time.

Stagg Engineer

Good software

Mikhall:                                               Hello, my name is Mikhall. I'm software architect and I give Rollbar four out of five.
                                                       We tried Rollbar to automate error monitoring on our customer's mobile devices, for the better support and faster back fixing. We looked for a solution for first error detection and grouping.
                                                       What we like about Rollbar. First of all, the price. The price is really good and the ability to try or even use it for free with up to 5,000 error events per month, it's really good for us.
                                                       It also has a good real-time dashboard with full error stack trace. Old, popular programming language and frameworks are supported and this is good for us too because we have a lot of projects on different languages.
                                                       The only thing what we really dislike it is the quality of support and communication. We looked for a very simple, fast, and seamless integration, but it was some problems.
