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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has improved our adherence to coding standards."
"This solution helps new developers get up to speed with the Autosar, Misra C and C++ standards quickly."
"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."
"Sentry allowed us to be more proactive and also enhance your app's observability, and its native integrations with JIRA and Slack saved us precious time."
"We find the feature of cause-stack information integrated with the Git repository valuable, which provides contextual information."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Sentry's performance monitoring has helped us understand where the bottlenecks are in our application and allowed us to optimize critical transactions for a faster user experience."
"The implementation is easy. After one or two days, I can learn and use it. It's not too hard."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improved support for annotating "Not a bug" in the source code."
"Simulating a real-time operating system and firmware can be quite difficult if you're doing multiple threading in different entry points."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"The integration could be improved, and the price could be lowered."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"While using Sentry I have to manually create an issue when it occurs by clicking in Jira or GitLab."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"One area where I think Sentry can improve is in the granularity of its alerting system, as it sometimes feels too sensitive or not customizable enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not an expensive solution for what it offers, as there are other tools that are significantly more expensive."
"Currently, we are in the production phase of our project and we are on free plans to use Sentry. Once we go live we will have to be on a subscription-based plan."
"We can adjust the price a little bit based on our needs."
"We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
