Honeybadger vs TrackJS: What are the differences?
What is Honeybadger? Honeybadger is the modern error management service for rails. Honeybadger does more than report errors, it helps you work with your team to fix them. Errors can be assigned. You can comment via email. And a fine-grained permissions system means you control who has access to each specific project.
What is TrackJS? JavaScript Error Monitoring for Modern Web Applications. Production error monitoring and reporting for web applications. TrackJS provides deep insights into real user errors. See the user, network, and application events that tell the story of an error so you can actually fix them.
Honeybadger and TrackJS belong to "Exception Monitoring" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Honeybadger are:
