Side by side
A self-hosted error catcher compatible with the Airbrake API that collects exceptions from apps and groups and notifies about them.
An error, log and feature-usage reporting service with strong .NET client support, self-hostable or hosted.
Dated and MongoDB-based, with far fewer features than Sentry or GlitchTip.
Self-hosting needs Elasticsearch, and the community is smaller than Sentry's.
