App Enlight vs Errbit: What are the differences?
What is App Enlight? Track errors and performance issues in your app. App Enlight provides a helpful interface to let you and your team save time spent on debugging and reproducing exceptions and performance issues from a production environment.
What is Errbit? The open source error catcher that's Airbrake API compliant. Errbit is a tool for collecting and managing errors from other applications. It is Airbrake (formerly known as Hoptoad) API compliant, so if you are already using Airbrake, you can just point the airbrake gem to your Errbit server.
App Enlight and Errbit can be primarily classified as "Exception Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by App Enlight are:
- Provides exception tracking including local variables
- Gathers global performance metrics per server
- Provides application response times, throughput divided by layers and distinct views/controllers
On the other hand, Errbit provides the following key features:
- Your exceptions may contain sensitive data that you don't want sitting on someone else's server
- Your application is behind a firewall
- You'd like to brand your error catcher
"Instant setup" is the primary reason why developers consider App Enlight over the competitors, whereas "Airbrake compliant" was stated as the key factor in picking Errbit.
Errbit is an open source tool with 4.01K GitHub stars and 981 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Errbit's open source repository on GitHub.
