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.

Easy to set up with great custom dashboards but needs to improve non-.NET infrastructure
They need to improve non-.NET infrastructure. We always had difficulty when it comes to reporting or metrics that come from Linux operating systems and Docker containers. For anything that runs within the Unix environment, we always had problems with them, however, if it was a document-based application, Stackify was 100%, it gave everything. Now, the aggregation agent, the metric agent for Stackify for Linux, collects everything. When I say everything, I mean, everything. It collects so much information that we now started to term it as useless data as all that ingestion will just come in and overwhelm your log retention limit for the month and really this spike up your cost at the end of the month. You'll need to do a lot in order to train down the data coming in from all your Linux environments, to get to what you really need, which actually takes some time as well. I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines. Stackify has not really gotten that right, as far as I'm concerned. Netdata has done a better job and New Relic has also done a better job. They need to improve on that. We need to be able to see the individual resource usage of containers running within a particular host.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sentry provides excellent security when it comes to tables and databases."
"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."
"Tracking error logs is a great feature because Sentry provides a rich context with regards to the code and tracing issues across the entire stack with trace logs and things like that."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"I would rate the stability of Sentry as eight out of ten."
"We find the feature of cause-stack information integrated with the Git repository valuable, which provides contextual information."
"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."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"The filter feature on Stackify is one of the features I found valuable. It's awesome. When I want to get the application logs, the solution gives me many filters. For example, if I want to get logs from my test environment, the option is there for me to select the environment from Stackify, and you can also select the particular application, and you'll see the information you need there. The filter feature alone and the fact that Stackify offers a lot of different filters is what I like the most about the solution because I've used other tools with the filter feature, but the filtering was very difficult, versus Stackify that has good filtering. On Stackify, you can filter the information by the last one hour, or the last four hours, and you can also select the date range and specify the timestamp, then the solution will give you the information based on the date range you specified. Another feature I found valuable on Stackify is its rating feature because it tells you how your application is faring. For example, a rating of A means excellent, while a rating of F means very bad, or that your application is not doing well at all. The ratings are from A to F. I also like that Stackify helps you in terms of load management because the solution gives you information on overutilized resources. These are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The deployment is very fast."
"What stood out to us were the metrics and granular details we received."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"My advice to anyone who wants to use Stackify is to go for it because my experience with it is good."
"The performance dashboard and the accurate level of details are beneficial."
"It is very simple and very easy to configure."
"Within few hours of install we've identify the source of issue we've been investigating for few days and couldn't pin point."
 

Cons

"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"While using Sentry I have to manually create an issue when it occurs by clicking in Jira or GitLab."
"Sentry is more like an application mind trying APM platforms as opposed to also tracking analytics and things like that."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The integration could be improved, and the price could be lowered."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."
"Better mobile support."
"The search feature could be improved."
"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."
"It should be easily scalable and configurable in different instances."
"When I redeploy my solution and the application starts, I don't see the logs immediately, and it would take two to three minutes before I see the logs."
"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."
"One thing that happens as a new user on Stackify is when you install the agent it pulls everything and if you're not careful, your log allowance will just be exhausted as you are actually pulling too much data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
"We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
"The price is variable. It depends on how much data we have received in that particular month. Usually, it goes up to $2,000, or, at times, $3,000 USD per month."
