Errbit vs Rollbar: What are the differences?
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; Rollbar: Full-stack error monitoring for developers. Rollbar helps development teams find and fix errors faster. Quickly pinpoint what’s broken and why. View exceptions from all of your languages, frameworks, platforms & environments in one place. Get context & insights to defeat all errors.
Errbit and Rollbar 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, Rollbar provides the following key features:
- Errors get queued, de-duped, grouped and prioritized
- View detailed stack traces with local variables
- JavaScript source map support
"Airbrake compliant" is the primary reason why developers consider Errbit over the competitors, whereas "Consolidates similar errors by impact" was stated as the key factor in picking Rollbar.
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.
