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.

I've not used Stackify for a while, and I'm currently using a solution now that's not as good as Stackify. Among the solutions I've been using so far, Stackify has been one of the best for me, but there's always room for improvement. For example, I don't know if it's just me, but when I try to get the log from Stackify, sometimes it doesn't appear in real-time. It takes a few minutes before the logs appear. 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. I don't know if other customers have a similar experience. It's the wait time for the logs to appear that's a concern for me, could be improved, and is what the Stackify team should be looking into. In terms of any additional feature that I'd like added to the solution, I'm not sure if Stackify has a way to export logs out. I've been trying to do it. On the solution, you can click on a spiral-like icon and it shows you the entire error, and I'd prefer an export button that would let me download the error and save that into a text file, for example, so it'll be available on my local machine for me to reference it, especially because the log keeps going and as you're using the solution, the system keeps pushing messages on to Stackify, so if I'm looking at a particular error at 12:05 PM, for example, by the time I go back to my system and would like to revisit the error at 12:25 PM, on Stackify, the logs would have gone past that level and I won't see it again which makes it difficult. When you now go back to that timestamp, you don't tend to see it immediately, but if the solution had an export feature for me to save that particular error information on my local machine for reference at a later time, I won't have to go back to Stackify. I just go to that log, specifically to that particular export that I've received on my local machine. I can get it and review it, and it would be easier that way versus me going back to Stackify to find that particular error and request that particular information.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"We find the feature of cause-stack information integrated with the Git repository valuable, which provides contextual information."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"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."
"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."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."

Cons

"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"While using Sentry I have to manually create an issue when it occurs by clicking in Jira or GitLab."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"Additional personalization and easier setup for capturing all the different application logs could be an area of improvement."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."

"It should be easily scalable and configurable in different instances."
"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."
"Another improvement would be the agent memory utilization, which led to our recent reevaluation."
"Better mobile support."
"I would like to be able to see metrics about individual running containers on the host machines."
"I'm looking to see more performance tools, but heard that they are going to release some."
"It's not easy to set up. It's hard especially for juniors to understand."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
"We can adjust the price a little bit based on our needs."
"We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
"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."
"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."
