"Easy Bug Monitoring & Integration"
What do you like best about BugSnag?

Its simple to integrate with PHP and I really like the ability to push extra user data to each error report to help us figure out why certain user types are having issues. Also extremely affordable which made it an easy ask to management. I also really like being able to create custom filters to search that extra data being pushed to the error. That way you can search by user email, user group, pricing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

UI could use work and the email notification system could be improved to provide more detail. It seems on/off as to whether or not you get email notifications and if the bug is truly new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty Good Product for Capturing & Monitoring Exceptions"
What do you like best about BugSnag?

It was pretty easy to integrate once you get the configuration correct. And the web site for monitoring/reviewing exceptions is fantastic.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

Getting the configuration correct in some cases was not easy. The documentation on their website can use definite improvement in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for bug tracking "
What do you like best about BugSnag?

It's easy to setup with our laravel installation, and it's simple to find each error and drill down into the details to find what we need to fix the issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

It's difficult to dislike a tool like bugsnag, but we could probably benefit from some advanced reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great filtering and notifications"
What do you like best about BugSnag?

Great filtering of bugs and notification of new errors. Bugsnag makes it easy to categorise errors and integrates with issue tracking and team messaging seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

It's not always obvious what filters are applied which has caused us to miss things occasionally Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OK but needs some work for Golang"
What do you like best about BugSnag?

In Go it's really easy to integrate BugSnag with the logrus library. We can then hook up Bugsnag to Pagerduty to notify our on call if there is a sudden spike in errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

The information Bugsnag captures in Go isn't that useful. Stack traces can be misleading. I'd like to track multiple levels of log in Bugsnag but not necessarily report them all through to Pagerduty (i.e. I'd like to also capture warnings but not have them ping the on call). It's very much an all or nothing tool that can only be configured at a coarse level.

Additionally the options for when it should notify aren't that useful. The option for exponential backoff on the notifications seem to be "for all time" whereas it would be more useful if it reset after a short period. If the errors settled down and we didn't see any for a week, I want a single new instance of the same error to notify me again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful tool for reporting production exceptions to the team"
What do you like best about BugSnag?

Bugsnag is a simple tool that does one thing well, namely capture all the of the information around exceptions in a production Ruby on Rails app. For each exception, it captures

* request that caused it

* rails stack trace

* session information, devices, browser info.

* frequency of exception

It also notices when you deploy, so that you can ignore older bugsnags after a deploy, and allows for custom fields to be reported in the bugsnag, which we use to correlate the bugsnag to particular customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

Again - not much to dislike. Bugsnag is a simple tool that does one thing well.

There is a workflow aspect to the product that we've pretty much ignored. Instead, we fix bugsnags as they occur, so that features around managing hundreds of them aren't interesting to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid entry as a bug review and collation service, with extras"
What do you like best about BugSnag?

Bugsnag is very simple to set up and maintain; it has powerful search capabilities and workflow mechanisms, with lots of additions information required. It stores everything you could need to know about the bugs that it tracks and comes with an API and the abilities to export data for use on dashboards etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BugSnag?

The API can be a little cumbersome and the documentation isn't awesome at times. Many of the features that are on use on the site don't appear to be documented, and we had to watch the network requests to work out how to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
