Switched over to timber months ago and it's been awesome to work in. Navigating to different times and filtering is really easy compared to Papertrail.
Pros:- Incredibly easy on-boarding
- Out of the box context for Elixir and Ruby apps
- Interface is very intuitive and searches are near instant
Cons:- Alerting can be improved by including loglines and more customization, but these are on the roadmap

This isn't really a con, but their ruby/elixir library allows you to attach user context data to logs and I would love to be able to easily do that in my Python + Go apps. Otherwise love the service - have used a bunch of different logging service in the past and this by far one of the easier to use services
Pros:Beautiful interface, really expressive search
Cons:Wish i could dismiss specific subsets of alerts

I've used Timber.io on CodeSponsor.io for a couple of months and have loved it. It is very easy to see real-time what is happening in the app and apply filters.
Pros:My favorite part was the installation process. So much thought was put into making this experience seamless. Huge kudos to the team!
Cons:No cons that I can see so far.
I've been using timber for a while now, on a bunch of elixir apps I've been writing in 2017. I must say it's the best experience I've had with any 3rd party logging system. I love the context functionality which can be used to group together log events in order to identify patterns quicker.
Whenever I've had a problem, David at Timber has always been there to help and is very responsive!
A handy tip: I use sentry.io for error reporting. The first thing I do when I see a sentry error pop up is:
- Copy the sentry error ID
- Paste it into timber's search bar for offending the application
- Find the sentry log message "Sending error <blah> to sentry.io" or something similar
- Click on the timestamp to see what happened around that log entry
A simple way to quickly get more context that sentry would never be able to provide.
Pros:Beautiful interface, easy to setup, amazing support
Cons:A little light on 3rd party integrations
