Engineer at Transnet
Offers Misra and Autosar compliance through static and abstract code analysis, but the reports could be cleaner
One of the issues we have is commenting. When something is not a defect in the code, for an example. Adding a comment for that line, or if the comment has two or three lines, it can be difficult. Simulating a real-time operating system and firmware can be quite difficult if you're doing multiple threading in different entry points. If you're not using the same macros for critical sections, it can also be a little bit tedious to get around. I would like to see better command-line tools that we can interface it with. We would like to see support for a continuous integration build environment. The reports in this solution could be made cleaner.

Real-time error tracking assists the QA team in swiftly identifying and reporting bugs
One of the greatest advantages of Sentry is its support for Azure Web Services, which New Relic does not support. Sentry integrates with common developer communication platforms like Discord and WhatsApp, which allows developers to easily track notifications and findings in the applications. 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.

"This solution has improved our adherence to coding standards."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry provides excellent security when it comes to tables and databases."

Cons

"Simulating a real-time operating system and firmware can be quite difficult if you're doing multiple threading in different entry points."
"I would like to see improved support for annotating "Not a bug" in the source code."
"I would like to see the ability to customize events and get more metrics for these customized events."
"The integration could be improved, and the price could be lowered."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"While using Sentry I have to manually create an issue when it occurs by clicking in Jira or GitLab."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice
