### "An effective tool for catching mistakes in published code."

April 6, 2019

5.0

Customer Service is hilarious! They will walk it with you and they actually have personality! So happy to work with CSR on a regular basis.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Too flakey, too many incidents"

July 15, 2020

1.0

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

Pros

The features are generally fine, and similar to competitors

Cons

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

### "A common tool in my toolbox"

July 16, 2020

4.0

I am a long term customer (7y+). I plan to keep it that way.

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Rollbar is great"

July 15, 2020

5.0

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.

Pros

\-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

Cons

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.

Reason for choosing Rollbar

Rollbar is more flexible and cheaper than the other solutions we looked at

### "Stable & Valuable Software For Many Years"

July 15, 2020

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "iOS SDK is Horrible and Crashes"

July 13, 2020

3.0

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

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Reason for choosing Rollbar

I didn't choose.

### "Rollbar is Awesome for the Aggregation of Production Errors"

July 16, 2020

5.0

We are using Rollbar on our project for more than a year and found it awesome. We were looking a solution where we can send and collect production errors and notify the team over Slack to fix them ASAP. We found Rollbar a great choice for that. Overall, the experience was great.

Pros

The dashboard, filtering features, aggregation capabilities and integration with other tools are the one of the best things of Rollbar.

Cons

Deleting the occurrences could be made easier. Had to use API and Python to do the job efficiently.

### "Cost effective way to manage errors with your software"

July 16, 2020

5.0

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Excellent Debugging Tool"

July 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Rollbar is indispensable for SaaS products"

July 10, 2020

5.0

We've had a really easy time integrating Rollbar from the start, and it's only been improving since we started using it.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Solid tool that meets my needs"

July 10, 2020

5.0

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Rollbar makes error tracking and log searching easy"

July 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

Rollbar was decently easy to implement into our code and we started collecting info immediately. It's wonderful that it aggregates the errors and warnings together based on the type and gives enough info to start tracking down the issues. The interface is pretty easy to understand as well. The RQL was nice to be able to query against the list of errors for more details or specific traits.

Cons

Working with large amounts of instances of the same error or warning can get very frustrating because of the limitations of RQL. Queries would time out. The solution was to either constrain the data by timestamps (guess and check if it times out) or to implement their API and have some scheduled jobs to break the data into more manageable chunks via the same method.

July 15, 2020

5.0

Pros

The live view and simplistic, but informative, interface

Cons

Nothing comes to mind with the web interface, but the mobile app is very limited - I cannot even expand the view of the log

### "Awesome crashlytics for SaaS! One of those MUST HAVE apps."

March 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Over grouping and under grouping needs improvement"

July 16, 2020

3.0

Benefits are tracking errors and that rollbar integrates with many systems and is customizable but downfall is the over grouping and under grouping

Pros

Being able to integrate with jira and make tickets seamlessly

Cons

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.

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

### "Best thing to improve customer experiance"

July 10, 2020

5.0

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.

Pros

Integration with other tools Detailed config

Cons

Can generate alot of emails at times Very sensitive, raises errors at the smallest issue which is both good and bad in a way

Reason for choosing Rollbar

Cheaper, easy signup and well-integrated

### "Happy with it"

July 16, 2020

4.0

My overall experience is good and I use it in all my PHP projects.

Pros

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

Cons

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)

### "Great front-end monitoring tool"

July 24, 2020

5.0

We're able to see front-end issues our customers are facing in real time. We're also able to use it to investigate issues our customers report.

Pros

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

Cons

Default email settings can be a bit verbose.

### "Great debugging tool"

September 7, 2016

5.0

Rollbar is a must-have for the debugging toolkit. You get errors reported in one place, with history, tracebacks, all request data, user data and so on. Capturing of locals and args is \*incredibly\* useful and speeds up debugging greatly. You can easily have many people looking at a bug at the same time. The interface is really clear and easy to use, even for the non-dev teammates. You won't be needing much support, but when you do it'll be both very responsive and very effective. Setup is easy and Rollbar never gets in the way of your code. Just add that integration with Slack and you'll find Rollbar indispensable. Massive opportunity for squashing bugs quickly. Definitely do recommend!

Pros

\- Tracebacks - Locals and args captured - Request and user data - RQL!

Cons

\- Not everything can be exported as CSV (yet?) - More out-of-the box integrations would be very useful (i.e. Celery)

### "Great tool for Exception management"

January 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

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.

Cons

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

July 16, 2020

4.0

Pros

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

Cons

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.

### "My Take"

July 10, 2020

4.0

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

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Easy to use"

July 20, 2020

5.0

Pros

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

Cons

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.
