One of the best debugging tools for mainframe software development that allows us to flow through the source and see what happens to the data
I like the ability to flow through the source and see what happens to the data as the statements are executed. If there is a fault, it will track the event, and we can then look back to see why it may have caused the fault. You can also reverse engineer your test. You can set it so that you can go backward as well as forward in your test. This is something that I haven't done here at my company. Compuware Xpediter is one of the best debugging tools for mainframe software development. We have currently licensed only the COBOL language for Xpediter, but I know they have other languages, including Assembler, PL/I.

The solution can be used to check the number of users online and how many times the application crashed
With BugSnag, we are able to get some data out of it. I am currently working for a payment app, and we have to redirect the customer to the VGS pages. When a crash occurs, we know that the crash is not on our side. We know that the crash happened on the VGS side or something is wrong with our integration with VGS. Since BugSnag is a web application and not a mobile application, a user's attempts to click on the back or forward buttons also get logged.

Pros

"I like the ability to flow through the source and see what happens to the data as the statements are executed.

"The most valuable features are monitoring and the information provided from the customers' journey."
"Since BugSnag is a web application and not a mobile application, a user's attempts to click on the back or forward buttons also get logged."
 

Cons

"Their technical support could be better. There were times where, when we reported bugs, they would fix one bug but add another one. That's probably because of their support model. A lot of organizations are developing software using Agile rather than the Waterfall method, so things are happening all over the place. You get things quicker, but sometimes one fix will break another one or add other bugs."
"It's hard to integrate with the application, and the setup was not very straightforward."
"The solution could improve by having a better graphical interface and more in-depth functionality."
