Sentry Reviews

We deploy CyberArk for some companies and projects. So, for example, if a company wants to protect its data, the CyberArk PAM solution can be implemented. So, in that case, we take that project and implement it. So, we don't go with the old Sentry because we have implemented a new PAM solution. We deploy the solution both on-premises and in the cloud.

The solution has two primary use cases. First, there are two different certifications, Defender and Sentry, in CyberArk. Sentry is how to deploy the PAM solution into the existing environment. For example, for all the privileged accounts, there's an administrative account, administrative access to the AD accounts and domain accounts, dash share accounts, etcetera.

If someone needs to make changes in the admin server, they must request access, and the records will go to the server owner or domain control owner, who needs to approve that access. Additionally, there is threat analysis for the suspected activity that will be triggered to another system. So, the session, which got connected to the servers, will be terminated at that particular time. Once a suspect alert is generated, the session will be terminated and no longer be connected to the server and no longer have access to the server.

The solution is user-friendly, and this is very valuable.

The integration could be improved, and the price could be lowered.

We have been using the solution for six months.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

We have not had experience with customer service and support.

There are two options for the initial setup, JumpStart server and customized setup. If someone doesn't have a high-level architect, then CyberArk would help with the JumpStart server because they have everything pre-planned and don't need to customize anything. A smaller company will take three months to onboard the entire PAM solution. We would need a minimum of three months for an entry-level company.

Implementation was via a vendor team.

There is a return on investment.

The license is quite expensive, but it is worth the price.

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the integration with dashboards could be improved.

My main use case for Sentry is to catch front-end or back-end application errors and report them.

Sentry allowed us to be more proactive and also enhance your app's observability.
Its native integrations with JIRA and Slack  saved us precious time.

For our very use case, Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog thanks to its integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools, error and performance reports as well as its easy to integrate with AWS Lambda (NodeJS). 

The error management is very good. For example, If you have an error that occurred in the frontend or a backend application, then Sentry will catch all contexts and will create an event log.

While using Sentry I have to manually create an issue when it occurs by clicking in Jira or GitLab. This process should be automated or an option that could be defined to automatically create an issue preventing the need to do it manually.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

We have not experienced any issues with stability with the solution.

The scalability is good.

We have not used technical support. However, we have used the community support forums online which was helpful.

The installation is easy. We are using the standard integration of the solution.

We did the implementation ourselves. There is enough documentation for us to do the setup and to start debugging.

Sentry free plan allow to setup project in early stages and to switch to paid plans once the project goes live.

I have evaluated Datadog.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Sentry a ten out of ten.

We use the solution for error tracking. We integrate it with applications to receive notifications for errors automatically.

The solution's most valuable features are timely updates and tracing the origin of errors.

The solution's debugging feature needs to be faster.

We have been using the solution for three years now.

It is a stable solution with good uptime.

The solution provides different approaches for the scalability of applications.

The solution's customer service provides a lot of documentation. Also, we refer to third-party documentation on the internet in case of technical queries.

The solution's initial setup process is relatively straightforward.

I rate the solution as an eight.

Our primary use case is for user access to a particular database of specific tables. We are using the Sentry privileges feature.

The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides.

I would like to see a role registration feature added. I would like to see Sentry integrated with the cloud platforms that are currently on the market.

I have been using Sentry for the past three years.

The stability is good and since I have been using it I have found no system errors.

I have not currently tried the scalability of Sentry but we have two thousand users involved on daily basis accessing the tables and databases.

I did the setup of Sentry for the Cloudera manager and it was easy. It has a built-in feature that we have to click and install. 

We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service.

Sentry provides excellent security when it comes to tables and databases. I would rate Sentry an eight out of ten.
