Cons
Con Not really a logging solution
Sentry collects exceptions, it's not a solution for log aggregation.
Con Can't filter by browser versions
Sentry only filters by browser names and not by browser versions (for example: Firefox, instead of Firefox 27, Firefox 28 etc...)
Con No free cloud hosting
Unfortunately there is no free plan for cloud hosted solution. Only self-hosted solutions are free to use.

Con Non-free / propritary software
Airbrake is non-free software, so it cannot be self-hosted, audited, or improved upon by the community. Your data is insecure - open to be read by Airbrake Inc, and if they shut down you will be unable to continue using the software.
Con No integrations on the free plan
