Exceptionless vs TrackJS: What are the differences?

What is Exceptionless? Real-time error reporting for your apps. Real-time exception reporting for ASP.NET, Web API, WebForms, WPF, Console, and MVC applications. Includes event organization, notifications, and more.

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.

Exceptionless and TrackJS can be categorized as "Exception Monitoring" tools.

Some of the features offered by Exceptionless are:

  • Error notifications, including critical and regressions
  • Intelligent grouping of exceptions, logs, and features
  • Detailed error reports, including stacktrace

On the other hand, TrackJS provides the following key features:

  • Telemetry Timeline: More than just an error. The Telemetry Timeline shows the user, network, and console events that preceded an error, like an airplane's BlackBox for your webapp.
  • Realtime Dashboard: Compare the hits and errors for your webapp over time. See if a recent change is causing failures, and where to prioritize debugging.
  • Intelligence Alerting: Get notified when issues important to you are happening, right to your email or chat room.

Exceptionless is an open source tool with 1.55K GitHub stars and 387 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Exceptionless's open source repository on GitHub.

Decisions about Exceptionless and TrackJS

I essentially inherited a Shopify theme that was originally created by an agency. After discovering a number of errors being thrown in the Dev Console just by scrolling through the website, I needed more visibility over any errors happening in the field. Having used both Sentry and TrackJS, I always got lost in the TrackJS interface, so I felt more comfortable introducing Sentry. The Sentry free tier is also very generous, although it turns out the theme threw over 15k errors in less than a week.

I highly recommend setting up error tracking from day one. Theoretically, you should never need to upgrade from the free tier if you're keeping on top of the errors...
