What our customers think
1500+ development teams rely on AppSignal to ship code with confidence. We are sharing a few of their stories with you.
Previously, we were using Honeybadger, Skylight, and Datadog, but now we have all those apps in one: AppSignal, and that is awesome!
Oleg, Developer at Benuevo
Hey y’all, we’re back. Sentry was just chaos.
Matt, Developer at Supertape
The biggest benefit of using AppSignal is the native Elixir support. … AppSignal just knows how an Elixir app is structured and builds error tracking and performance monitoring around it.
