It didn't require a learning curve as with other tools **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Sometimes the error on the title does not match the error in the description, so I need to manually check for the error. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a way to get notified of the errors that get missed during testing and also before a customer encounters an error. ### 3. Great tool to catch bugs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jaime S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2024 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** The implementation and the integration are super easy, same for sending custom logs or custom info about the user. IMO it is super important for customer support, we have the tool connected to Slack so the first thing we do to start the day is check the channel and check all the errors our users have, you have a lot of information to be able to fix the bug you have in your application. For us it is an essential tool, we use every day. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** You can check the API calls you are doing but you cannot have the response from the server, but, I think this is a matter of privacy. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can know where the application is having bugs and solve them quickly. So, our customers have a fast response from us even before they contact us. ### 4. Rollbar Excels in Reliability and User Experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Rollbar has truly been a game-changer for me when it comes to error tracking and monitoring. Its consistent performance, with hardly any downtime, allows me to stay focused on the tasks at hand. The user interface is not only intuitive but remarkably responsive, making navigation a smooth experience. Searching and filtering data is straightforward, making it easy to spot issues and analyze trends quickly. What makes Rollbar stand out is its knack for simplifying the troubleshooting process, turning what could be a complicated task into something more manageable. The third-party integrations seamlessly enhance the platform's already impressive capabilities. In the complex world of coding challenges, Rollbar has become a reliable companion. It's more than just a tool; it feels like a trusted ally for any developer dealing with the intricacies of code. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Rollbar has proven reliable, but the error grouping functionality needs improvement. The rules lack clarity, sometimes leading to unintended outcomes. Customizing notification conditions feels restrictive and could benefit from a rework. Enhancing these aspects would greatly improve the overall user experience and make Rollbar even more effective in error tracking and notification management. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rollbar is my essential tool for quick error resolution and proactive issue handling in my platform. Its real-time tracking ensures prompt identification and resolution, minimizing downtime. The immediate notificaitons alert me to potential problems, making it a crucial asset for maintaining a resilient and robust platform. ### 5. Easy to use and powerful behind the scenes **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Inga B. | Lead FE Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** It's extremely easy to integrate, but the real power is in the extended functionality. Rollbar telemetry can be a real time-saver, giving the context to user actions that preceded the actual issue. And for the actual deep-dive in errors, RQL (the query language) is invaluable. I'm also a big fan of the Slack notifications and the flexibility they offer. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** The mobile view is a bit clunky / overcrowded, though it has been improved greatly in the last year or so. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having all issues and warnings in the same place / grouped is important for us. Rollbar's Telemetry feature lets us review user's actions that preceed issues, making it easier to solve the more tricky bugs. Also, we're using the notifications system to alert us of unexpected increases of certain problems like timeouts, letting us catch system-wide issues earlier. ### 6. A great resource for tracking and grouping errors on our system **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cameron P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Rollbar fulfills an important need for us with its grouping of items, so that we can track over long periods of time. This allows us to see trends, when issues started, how many of our customers are affected. We also find the integrations very helpful with slack messages of new items and ability to create jira issues with all the details from rollbar automatically included. Customer support has also been great and timely to get back to us with any questions. They also have a slack community which can be helpful. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Sometimes the grouping can get a little messed up depending on the error message which means the tracking can be a little skewed. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to monitor issues with our application over time and then target the highest number of issues to fix as a priority. ### 7. Rollbar is great **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Toby B. | CEO/CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2024 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Rollbar integrates seamlessly with Ruby on Rails. I've used it in many projects over the years and it's never let me down. It's easy to use and great value for money. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Very little. It's simple and does what it says at a reasonable cost. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** It reports errors when I need them in real-time. ### 8. A Game-Changer for Tech Efficiency and Reliability - My Rollbar Experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sébastien S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** I appreciate Rollbar's that I use everyday real-time error tracking and machine learning-driven grouping, which efficiently filters alerts, ensuring focus on critical issues. Its user-friendly interface facilitates quick adoption and seamless integration with other tools, enhancing overall tech team productivity. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** The front-end integration (ReactJS) is a bit less smooth than the back-end integration. Except thath everything is really good! **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rollbar has revolutionized how my team handles real-time error tracking and monitoring. Its swift error detection and detailed reporting streamline the debugging process, significantly reducing application downtime. This proactive approach in resolving issues enhances the reliability of our applications. Moreover, the automation of error grouping and analysis by Rollbar boosts our team's productivity, allowing us to focus more on innovation rather than repetitive error tracking, making our work environment more efficient and productive. ### 9. Been with Rollbar forever, they are great! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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." **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** 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. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** 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. ### 10. I have not used other solutions **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Definitely their support and communication. They help to solve different problems and help with approach for logging. Also they help to debug grouping issues and create custom rules. I like we can have custom grouping rules. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Default grouping algorithm is not best, but grouping is complex problem. Sometimes grouping does not work well as expected and issues are hidden. You have to make custom rules for custom logging. Some small annoying UI issues are not fixed. Not enough features: - it is hard to manage custom rules - It is hard to use RQL. There should be better way to search, group and do some analytics - RQL is limited. I cannot query on some things - RQL is slow and times out - I cannot build different graphqs and dashboards in UI **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We log errors from different apps there. So we can catch errors. We have slack alerts and monitor rollbar daily. It helps to catch errors faster. But we have to use other tools to help debug errors. ### 11. A key puzzle piece to a successful online application. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Rollbar lacks more in depth AWS integration which would be helpful for apps that also require tracking across AWS or cloud services. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** 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. ### 12. Long time user of Rollbar **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** The support I have gotten from Rollbar has been great. I can go to Anton and Nico at any time and they provide me incredibly fast response and solve my needs. I really like the dashboarding and visualizations that Rollbar provides. Being able to distinguish anamolies has been helpful. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Reporting and billing could use help. I typically have to go to someone at Rollbar to pull the data I need for reporting on usage. It seems they have tools to provide this data, but would like to see it provided to me as a user. I am not as happy with the new UI. It is much harder to consume and figure out where the problem is coming from. Since using the new UI, I have trouble identifying where in the code the issue is coming from. Before, that was much easier to understand. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use rollbar during incidents. When we identify a service that is having an issue, we can go to Rollbar and see the trends of logs and identify if something has changed, or if that is just a reoccuring issue. I would like for us to lean more into it's capabilities. We do have alerting for anomalies which is very helpful. We were able to identify a panic in one of our services which we otherwise would have missed. So it's alerting of issues is very helpful. ### 13. Huge fan **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alison G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** 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. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Instant bug alerts. ### 14. Awesome experience with Rollbar since 2015 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ricardo N. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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 **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** 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) **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** I mainly use Rollbar to help me deal with software exceptions and bugs. ### 15. Rollbar - From startup to scaleup **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** 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. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rollbar does one thing, and one thing well: error reporting. Rollbar gives us complete coverage of front and back end errors. ### 16. Overall Rollbar is great to find the source of errors. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** It's easier to use than looking at logs for debugging. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** The error grouping. Errors with the same/similar names but different stack traces, e.g. a connection timeout create many Rollbar items. Errors grouped and displaying the different stack traces would help a lot. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Monitor for to many client errors. Debugging failed jobs by finding their stack trace. We retry the job and search for the recent errors to debug. **Official Response from Nico Kruger:** > We're happy to hear that Rollbar has been beneficial for monitoring and debugging. Your feedback about error grouping is valuable, and we'll use it to improve the platform for all users. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. ### 17. Best product to help speed up product release cycles! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** The ability to quickly see issues after a release. We monitor each release as soon as it goes out using Rollbar. It has automated this process for us every day we use it! Our team uses the product daily! **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Improve the query speed of RQL but apart from that there is nothing we do not like. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use to have no idea of what was breaking in production. Now we know as soon as a release runs into an issue before our customers report it! ### 18. The best tool to monitor your system crashes and exceptions **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maryam A. | Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Logs all the details needed for our system crashes and backend, frontend exceptions with all the needed info and occurrences, first time to be tracked, so the technical team can have the correct insights to solve the issues **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Lake of mobile app for better accessibility **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Visibility and instant reporting for any system crashes or exceptions, and can be integrated with other third-party tools as well ### 19. Rollbar has been the shining light in helping refactor an legacy business applications **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander O. | Senior Web Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** 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 **Recommendations to others considering Rollbar:** This is a useful tool, that will group issues and store data that can helpful. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** 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 ### 20.

Perfect tool to tackle your bugs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** 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. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** 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. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** 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. ### 22. Essential for production environments **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John O. | Co-Founder and Senior Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Rollbar brings the one place to find and explore issues. It alerts me when something is happening, and the way Rollbar presents items/occurrences allows me to take action. Is this just a bug to report? Some isolated issue? Should we run in pannic and go to a shelter? Rollbar instantly brings me the answer just by looking at the item dashboard. There is another great thing on Rollbar. The way it groups similar cases (called "occurrences") into one set called "item". It does a great job of knowing what cases go together. Even in the rare case it's wrong, you can join items or report the problem (I have never had to report an overjoin problem). **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** I wouldn't say I like the main dashboard. It allows comparing the number of occurrences between projects / with last week / with the previous day. I found it interesting to play with, but I can't think any valuable use for that information **Recommendations to others considering Rollbar:** Try it. If you are not sure, just try it (it is really easy to install). If you like it, you can think on other options (How I'm going to use it? Where? etc) **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Rollbar, I can have in one place all errors from different applications, languages, servers, or environments. For example, if you have a Rails app for the backend (running in 2 or 3 different servers) and a React app for the frontend, you can watch all errors within Rollbar. Also, production environments have limited access for specific users, so accessing logs or similar usually is a pain. Rollbar lets you know what is happening without even botter production guys. ### 23. Customizable and efficient software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** You can track a variety of projects all at the same place, with lots of information about the errors or warnings that help you fix them easily. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** It can be intimidating when it's your first time using it. It does take some time to discover and get used to all the features. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to see if customers are having issues on our website with transactions, and also not only see but it makes it way easier to fix. ### 24. Rollbar makes debugging in browser errors much easier **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan S. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Rollbar can be integrated into your backend and front end code to report and aggregate errors over time. While this is useful for backend errors, it is particularly useful for seeing errors when they occur in your customer's web browser. Knowing all the errors that your users are seeing without relying on them reporting the problem allows you to fix the issue more quickly. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** The Rollbar web console can be slow to load and rql queries are sometimes slow to execute. I understand that it may be filtering on a lot of data, but it does make it harder to use quickly. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rollbar is used to capture backend and frontend errors. The web console can be used to see error occurrences and to aggregate similar errors. Slack and email notifications are also used to report new error occurrences. ### 25. Rollbar helps streamline the development process **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian V. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Centralized error management, error mapping with timelines and usage, great user interface, selection of integrations, and dashboards. Tracking of errors across environments is a huge time saver. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Some integrations are more painful than others (looking at you, JavaScript, with your errors and required mapping files) - also error grouping can be difficult to get the hang of **Recommendations to others considering Rollbar:** Learn how to use error grouping, test the integration with your environment through their free trial **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code improvement, more confident deployments, lower error resolution times, better customer experience with releases, less lead time between requests and getting the features to market ### 26. Great tool to track errors, especially with microservices **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gustavo M. | Senior Software Engineer Team Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** The occurrences can show you many details about the error, the context, the user and also custom data that you could trace from your applications. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Admin panel does not allow you to filter by data inside occurrences, there are a few filters that not always are useful. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Every time we release a new feature we can track every error it causes. That way we could measure it as tech debt and build strategy plans to fix it. It makes errors visible. ### 27. Easy to integrate and good error tracking **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joan Albert S. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Easy to integrate, you can also easily differentiate between different environments, team collaboration, error levels, etc... **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** I think the errors can be a little better formatted, I don't dislike it, but I think there is room for improvement there, the way errors are presented. **Recommendations to others considering Rollbar:** The free plan is really good for startups that don't generate so many events/requests , since the plan is big and it has many features included. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Error tracking and error monitoring in real-time. ### 28. Rollbar helped us monitor every issue occuring in any part of our infrastructure. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chrisostomos B. | S, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Issue gathering for any single component of our infrastructure and every environment.

Bring stability and peace of mind to your codebase **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bill S. | Founder / CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Rollbar?** Rollbar quickly allowed me to instrument unknown code and quickly understood my problem areas. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** Would like more control to modify the data when received by Rollbar (jscript or other options).

The default grouping algorithm works great in most cases. It also gives you the ability to add custom grouping rules so that you can group the errors in the way you want. - Very reliable.

The .NET SDK is super easy to use and integrate. You can get Rollbar up and running in just 15 mins. **What do you dislike about Rollbar?** - We use Rollbar mainly for backend error tracking, but the frontend error tracking is a little noisy as it reports errors which are out of the application scope. - As we use Rollbar to monitor our busy API services which are used by a few clients, we do get a large volume of errors which can be a bit expensive. **What problems is Rollbar solving and how is that benefiting you?** Error logging and error tracking. With the help of Rollbar, we could get the bug fixed before our clients notice it. ### 48.
