Advice on PagerDuty, Airbrake
Detailed Comparison
PagerDuty is an alarm aggregation and dispatching service for system administrators and support teams. It collects alerts from your monitoring tools, gives you an overall view of all of your monitoring alarms, and alerts an on duty engineer if there's a problem. | Airbrake collects errors for your applications in all major languages and frameworks. We alert you to new errors and give you critical context, trends and details needed to find and fix errors fast. |
Alerting that works (and wakes you up)- When your systems go down, PagerDuty will wake you up. You choose how you want to be alerted - via phone, SMS or email, to multiple numbers, with retries.;Integrate all your existing monitoring tools- PagerDuty works great with almost all monitoring tools including: Nagios (and Icinga), Keynote, New Relic, Pingdom, Circonus, Red Gate SQL Monitor, Server Density, Zenoss, Monit, Munin, SolarWinds and many others. If it can send email, it will work with PagerDuty.;Native apps with push notifications- iOS and Android native apps with push notifications and a cross-platform mobile website ensure you can respond to alerts wherever you are, even on the go.;On-call duty scheduling- Easily set up schedules to fairly share on-call duty responsibilities with your team.;Automatic escalation of alerts- If you're paged but don't respond in time, the alert is auto-escalated to a team member. Ensures nothing slips through the cracks - ever.;Reliable, distributed architecture- PagerDuty's infrastructure is fully replicated in multiple data centers, with fast failover when problems occur.;Works internationally (Yes, really!)- Phone alerts can be delivered to over 170 countries and territories; SMS alerts are available virtually world-wide. (Is my country included?) | Dupe Detection- Developers will only receive an email once when an error occurs — rather than getting buried under an error email avalanche.;Auto Resolve- An action on each application deployment — that way developers can focus on the problems that exist today, not the ones from last month.;Github Aware- Airbrake is github-aware, and can link code in your Airbrake error stack traces to the corresponding locations on github.;RSS- Airbrake offers an RSS feed of error activity, so errors can be monitored using feed readers.;Lighthouse Integration- Airbrake integrates with the Lighthouse bug/ticket tracking application, for easy discussion of errors and integration with your existing workflow.;SSL Secure- Airbrake can be accessed over SSL-protected secure connections to keep your data completely private. The application itself is updated regularly with the latest security patches.;Multiple Projects- Easily track and navigate errors from multiple projects for up to 64 projects.;Fully supported platforms/languages- Ruby on Rails, iOS |
