Well if it helps, sentry is incredibly easy to implement on a basic level, and the free tier is more than enough to play around with for quite a while before you need to step up to something more.

For us the process started with just including the script and getting a few crashes or exceptions here and there, and once most of us were comfortable that some time investment here would pay off, we really wired it in and the benefits just skyrocketed.

Now we even have it running on our server side code in one case because it's just such a damn good tool.

I will say that the downsides are that the search is fairly poor unless you self host and have access to the database, and forget about using it for any kind of reporting over time periods (it's actually really hard to see things like "number of times this error happened in the last week").

But overall it's a very easy system to layer on top of just about anything. I know nothing about your company or product, but see if you can get the approval to spend an hour or 2 to just try it out. As long as you don't have any PII its a pretty risk-free thing to try.
