Helps us Automate our Quality

PROS

DebugBear has provided us with the ability to automate our Lighthouse testing and keep track of the quality over time. We originally tried to integrate Lighthouse as part of our CI system, but found the reporting severely lacking so using DebugBear saved us considerable time. Lighthouse though is only one of the tools DebugBear provides and we're exploring our other options within the tool regularly.

CONS

There was a bit of a learning curve in implementing the page tracking and probably was the slowest part of starting to use DebugBear - though I'm not sure this is something that DebugBear could rectify due to the nature of what we are trying to do.

Long Term Satisfied DebugBear User

Been using DebugBear for over 3 years now. Being in this space, a lot of tools come and some go, but DebugBear remains a solid tool in my toolbox. Accurate, reliable, affordable and there's plenty of ROI in it when you find and fix performance issues with the help of this tool. Great experience overall!

PROS

As a freelance performance engineer for a number of clients, it's important that I can easily go back in time and find significant regressions as well as match performance improvements to certain deploys. DebugBear fits perfectly for these purposes. It has since expanded with some great features like on the spot performance experiments and RUM.

CONS

Initially it was not so easy to pay if one didn't have a credit card but support has made it as easy as a manual payment can be. Expanding the test allowances and projects setup to our needs also involved support but again is efficiently dealt with.

Reason for choosing DebugBear

Pricing was favourable at the time, which as an independent contractor / freelances was a vital point of consideration.

DebugBear

A nice, easy and useful tool for website monitoring.

PROS

Performance metrics are always updated and improved. Helps to monitor the website and observe how metrics change. The most I like most are the visual part, explanation, and helpful links. Easy to integrate into CI/CD.

CONS

With DebugBear, I haven't had any negative experiences.
