Rollbar Reviews

The freemium offering makes the solution a great fit for a startup to ensure that error monitoring is covered. The capability scales up with the organisation and event volumes; it's been useful to me and our org from 1 person to 600.

Lack of safeguards is a minor annoyance. In the event that our app, or Rollbar config, is misconfigured it's possible to blow through volume tier allocations for the month in a bad day.

Rollbar does one thing, and one thing well: error reporting. Rollbar gives us complete coverage of front and back end errors.

We started with Rollbar using their Ruby on Rails monitoring and have since expanded to using python, ios, android, javascript, and probably more. They are always responsive to support requests and keep adding extra features. Installation is also extremely straightforward: one of the few pieces of software that truly "Just Works."

Very occasionally Rollbar doesn't provide us enough information to fully debug and issue and we have to fall back to tried and true methods like reading logs, looking at the database, etc.

Rollbar gives us a great snapshot of not only errors but endpoint performance. We use it both reatively when support issues come in and proactively to prevent those issues in the first place.

Rollbar provides an array of features across multiple software languages that allow us to easily implement bug tracking across all our services. With up to the second bug tracking, we are able to quickly track any issues that might come up and keep our customers happy with our quick response. Our team relies on Rollbar to maintain a high level of customer support through their easy integrations to our entire platform. Rollbar also offers great integration with applications like Slack which makes it our primary tool for communicating issues with our team.

Rollbar lacks more in depth AWS integration which would be helpful for apps that also require tracking across AWS or cloud services.

Rollbar gives us the ability to quickly be alerted via Slack about issues that are coming up in our application. This has allowed us to have lightning fast responses to any issues a customer might be facing.

It's straight forward to integrate, the dashboard UX is pretty good and the way we can take actions on each exception is really well designed

It has been lacking out of the box support for a few of the new JS frameworks like NextJS and Remix (we've been talking about this issue tho, they are into it)

I mainly use Rollbar to help me deal with software exceptions and bugs.

Rollbar has been intrumental in helping Snipe-IT/Grokability make sure our customers' experience is as smooth as possible. We're able to reduce the time from defect creation to defect detection to nearly immediate, giving us the ability to push out fixes so quickly that the customer sometimes doesn't even notice the bug. Definitely one of the best investments we've ever made for the success of our business.

The search can be a little clunky. Trying to find issues for a specific domain name takes a bit more work than I'd like, and sometimes times out if there are a lot of errors to report on.

Instant bug alerts.

It works out of the box with majority of programming languages and frameworks. Low effort is required to use advanced features (person tracking, filtering, etc)

Grouping feature could be improved, it causes different errors to be swallowed by other similar errors

You get notified in real time of any kind of code anomaly, unexpected situations and everything before anyone (your customers or your boss) notice that

Rollbar grouping errors, so we as a team can see what is the most frequently occurring issue and can target modern updates to these areas first. This also allow us to create a business case far quicker to generate the time to undertake bigger upgrades in the areas of the application that need them.

Rollbar logs notice as well and these count to your limit which can be frustrating especially when we have dependencies that haven't released updates to fix an issue and this ends up using all our credits

This is a useful tool, that will group issues and store data that can helpful.

Rollbar is solving the issue of how to update business applications that haven't been updated in 10 years to use modern languages in a way that the business can see real improvement. It also helps flag up issues created by upgrades that might not be visible on first glance

I like best that this free version is enough to meet my needs.

I don't know. Did not found any disadvantages yet.

I do not nee to read log files from time to time, I just get an email notification each time a bug occurs and can handle it immediately.

How easy and simple it is to use! Its integration with Slack is amazing. I don't have to constantly look at my e-mail or the website.. I can just go about my workday and check the slack channel whenever there's an error reported. It also keeps the rest of the team informed of what's happening.

To be very honest, until now, I haven't found anything that I could point out as negative with Rollbar. I think it does its job incredibly well, and it has saved me a lot of time.

I'm solving bugs at my job with the help of Rollbar. We can tackle many problems related to payments and basic operations. The most important thing is we can quickly solve problems because we know whey they are starting.

Issue gathering for any single component of our infrastructure and every environment. Great support for our stack.

Environment searching, it should be improved.

Easy monitoring of issues, that help to easily resolve any bug.
