Love Bird Eats Bug for Bug Reporting!

Ever since the software was introduced to our team, it has been a huge help to standardize the screen capture software across the company and provide the necessary details when logging bugs so that our Product team can pinpoint the issues.

PROS

I love how the software lets me capture all of the important information necessary for our engineering team to debug issues in our tool.

CONS

I wish it could upload my files just a tad faster

Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug

The added layer of including the browser console information automatically made switching a logical and easy choice

Vendor Response

Hi Carolyn, Thanks a lot for your feedback. The issue with slower uploads could be caused by having a lot of information in the "Network" tab. We have already made improvements to the size of the uploaded files, but we will keep optimising the uploads nonetheless. Thanks again, Bird team

I love BEB!!

BEB saved a lot of time for me and my team we can now screen record a bug so fast and it includes most of the information the Developers and QA need to fix the issue. It also saved a lot of storage space in my laptop :D

PROS

-The product is very easy to use I love how everything is displayed on one page and yet they are all clear. - I like how I can share it with the team using a link and not having to download the video and send it (it doesn't take space) - The new Network features are very helpful not to mention the consol!

CONS

from time to time BEB logs me out and it does not save my email, it would be nice if when I click on the email field it would show the most frequent emails I use to log in (my work email is kind of long)

Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug

when using snagit I had to download the video to my laptop and send it to the team member it took more storage and time. Snagit was not built for bug reporting unlike BEB it has more helpful features for reporting bugs

Issues with recording

PROS

The recordings are useful and clear. The concept of the tool is solid.

CONS

It's glitchy, often fails to record, or fails to save. (Using chrome) It will crash if a page sends out a lot of errors.

Vendor Response

Hi Kevin, Thanks a lot for bringing this up. We have indeed noticed that a small number of users have issues with uploads when there are a lot of errors on the recorded page. Our engineers have already made a few big improvements to that mechanism, so the issue should not be as big any more, but we will definitely keep improving the stability. Thanks once again for your feedback - it's super helpful, Bird team

Finally a product like Bird!

I worked in support for one year and then transitioned into product, still doing a lot of 3rd level support and debugging. Before Bird, we always had a hard time gathering all the important data from support or any employee and then also conveying the information in a way that engineering can quickly fix the bug. Data ways always missing, was incomplete and so there was a lot of back and forth involved until we were able to pinpoint the bug. No more with Bird! We record a video or make a screenshot, create the JIRA bug ticket out of it right away, done.

PROS

The ability to capture feedback and data related to bugs or QA review in a format that ensures that the data is so complete, that engineering can act on it.

CONS

I would love it if we could implement Bird in our web app so customers can also use it! Right now, we can only use it internally.

Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug

Bird captures console data and has a JIRA integration

Vendor Response

Hi Lars, Thanks a lot for your feedback. We do have plans to make Bird experience available without installing a browser extension. Cannot yet share any timelines, but it will come - stay tuned :) Thanks again, Bird Team

Very helpful and innovative tool

Overall i think this is already ahead of its time and had GREAT potential!!!

PROS

"Fire and forget" feeling of the console flow and possible errors Screen capturing and uploading it on the cloud makes sharing easier compared with other solutions

CONS

Lack of Firefox extension Not being able to get multiple recording in one session or at least multiple screenshots in a waterfall/timeline manner , so i can upload one session with many screens (to illustrate the problem better) instead of limiting for one screen per session or uploading multiple sessions.

Reason for choosing Bird Eats Bug

I work in parallel with bird eats bug and SnagIt and use each whenever feels more convenient(or faster) at the time. Not sure if BEB can have keyboard shortcuts

Vendor Response

Hi Vaios, thanks a lot for your review. The good news is that some of the things you mentioned are already on the roadmap. We will definitely add shortcuts - it's actually something we wanted to do for a while. As for adding multiple screenshots, it was actually possible before, but the interface was not very intuitive which is why we want to go back to the drawing board and improve it. Thanks again, Bird team
