Had to google Sentry, I've been using Raygun for ~10 years. These sort of tools are awesome. The weird errors that users seem to be able to produce but getting a full stack trace and being able to resolve them.

My previous job we used to send exceptions to email until we blew out the gmail account for the day (exceeded the receive amount) and boss switched over to raygun (~10 years ago), because of the global error handling we ended up fixing tons of errors we didn't even know our customers were experiencing. Product became more stable over time with the fixes.

In one company, the app error page would also be a "Submit Ticket" page where the poor human would be able to quickly explain what they were trying to do while I could gather all sorts of user-side information.
