Errbit vs OverOps: What are the differences?
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.
What is OverOps? Know When and Why Applications Break. OverOps maps the DNA of code as it’s executing in pre-prod and production to Identify all issues and anomalies, and deliver True Root Cause to the right person, without relying on logs.
Errbit and OverOps can be categorized as "Exception Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by Errbit are:
- 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
On the other hand, OverOps provides the following key features:
- Deep code visibility
- Real-Time Visibility
- Jenkins Quality Gates
"Airbrake compliant" is the primary reason why developers consider Errbit over the competitors, whereas "In-depth error analysis with variable values in product" was stated as the key factor in picking OverOps.
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.
