GitLab issues vs Bugsnag

GitLab's UI is clean and intuitive. Each view is designed to not fill the screen with useless information.

It displays the activity in a feed-type way in the most prominent part of the view. On top of that, there's a toolbar with buttons which can filter this feed by pushes, merge events or comments.

On the left, there's a menu that displays all the links that take you to the different views. For example, a file directory which displays all the files in that repo, a commit view which displays all the commits in cronological order, a network and a graph view that display important information graphically etc...

All these details make GitLab's UI extremely intuitive and easy to use, no view is overflown with information and every view displays only the most useful and crucial information needed at that time.

Gitlab is a free open source project licensed under MIT. Source code for Enterprise Edition can be found here and Community Edition here.

GitLab CI makes it easy to set up CI and deployment for projects in GitLab. It supports parallel testing, multiple platforms, Docker containers and streaming build logs.

GitLab is being constantly worked on and has a new release every month on the 22nd. Updating is also very easy through a single upgrade script.

On GitLab EE (free for open-source projects only) you can set the weight of an issue during its creation (from 1 to 9) to get a better idea of how much time, value or complexity a given issue has.

Clear, concise documentation. Plus docs on cross-domain script errors and enabling CORS.

Bugsnag can be set up to send email notifications as soon as exceptions occur. It can also integrate with a number of third-party services that can be used for notifications including Campfire, HipChat, Twilio SMS and custom solutions via Webhook.

Bugsnag integrates with a wide variety of 3rd party tools to automatically create issues or tickets. Integrations include GitHub, BitBucket, UserVoice, Trello and many, many others.

After a two-week full-featured free trial period the user is limited to 2,000 errors/month, 1 user and 1 project.

Bugsnag groups similar exceptions together displaying the number of occurences so that there's no need to deal with each instance of the error separately.

Their documentation was well organized, easy to search through for the platform of choice and quick work of full product integration.

Drop in place integration with Unity 3D, only a simple API Token configuration on game object and everything was up & running with almost zero code written.

Not many products have decided to finally start doing this, phabricator now has a champion.
