We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
7.0
Dynatrace improved efficiency with tool consolidation, automation, and comprehensive features, despite higher costs, enhancing performance tracking and insights.
Sentiment score
6.8
Sentry quickly resolves errors, boosts productivity, reduces downtime, improves user experience, and allows focus on new features.
ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
Dynatrace's support is generally effective and proactive, though some users experience occasional slowdowns and delayed responsiveness.
Sentiment score
4.9
Users rarely need Sentry support due to clear documentation, relying on community forums and receiving prompt responses when needed.
Their support is very fast and effective.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
For Dynatrace tech support, we have a dedicated team here, which is easily reachable.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Dynatrace excels in scalability, efficiently managing large-scale environments, with users rating its capability nine out of ten.
Sentiment score
7.8
Sentry is praised for its scalability, adaptability, and ease of use, effectively managing growth and diverse system configurations.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
It has been easy to use and configure across multiple systems, each having several environments.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Dynatrace is praised for high stability and reliability, with frequent updates and strong SaaS performance minimizing downtime.
Sentiment score
8.0
Sentry is highly stable, with most users satisfied despite minor downtime, and engineers effectively leverage its performance.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
There have been no stability issues with Dynatrace.
 

Room For Improvement

Dynatrace needs UI improvements, user-friendliness, better alerts, streamlined integration, and enhanced reporting for improved user experience and support.
Sentry users seek better integration, analytics, customization, cheaper plans, improved UI, documentation, and advanced tracking features.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
I'm specifically looking at AIOps and how we can monitor AIOps-related things, considering we have LLMs and all that stuff.
Dynatrace stands out when making comparisons with other tools.
Integrations or single sign-on capability with Microsoft would be beneficial for securing all assets.
 

Setup Cost

Dynatrace pricing is high but offers value with robust features, although licensing complexity influences total cost significantly.
Sentry provides flexible, competitive pricing plans starting at $26 monthly, with customization options based on usage and needs.
Dynatrace is known to be costly, which delayed its integration into our system.
If I would ask you to rate price from 1 to 10, where 1 is cheap and 10 is expensive, how many points would you give to it?
Compared to New Relic, it provides the necessary features at a cheaper cost, especially since we moved infrastructure monitoring to Azure.
 

Valuable Features

Dynatrace offers detailed monitoring with AI-driven insights, customizable dashboards, and seamless integration, enhancing incident response and performance analysis.
Sentry offers integrations, performance metrics, error tracing, real-time insights, and supports development communication via Discord and WhatsApp.
The integration with Power BI for generating detailed reports is a standout feature.
I find the classic service analysis, service analysis, distribution tracing, and the technology stack that it shows most valuable about Dynatrace, along with the Scape View.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.
Real-time error tracking helps our Quality Assurance team easily identify the root causes of problems or bugs and promptly inform the developers about specific issues.
At this time, I focus on finding and fixing bugs.

Provides a comprehensive view by integrating with other monitoring systems
There may be an issue since there are many tools like Splunk involved in network monitoring. From an IP perspective, Dynatrace is performing well. If they want to develop in network monitoring, they can, as it's part of their product line. It's not rocketry, so they can accomplish it. If I, as an SI, look at it from an enterprise perspective, considering the cost from the client, I prefer not to go with multiple systems, as they don't provide a complete 360-degree view. They need to improve on claims about being an enterprise system. The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
Abdullah Baig - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use solution that has a good dashboard, performs well, and provides flexible pricing
Sentry was easy to learn compared to New Relic and Azure Monitor. I saw some valuable input. It took us the least amount of time to see how Sentry is valuable. It took just a few minutes. Session Replay provides a replay of the recorded errors. It is a good feature. Azure Monitor does not have this feature. The error reporting is straightforward. We can see everything that we need to see. The dashboard seems pretty fine. The product performs well. We can see the user's IP addresses.
