Likelihood to Recommend Compuware Strobe is very essential if you are working in a multi-system environment to constantly measure the activity of your applications. My setup involves deploying bots to perform repetitive tasks. With Compuware Strobe, I'm able to conduct early tests on codes that reduce by great margins performance issues on the development cycle; It's why I'm making a good recommendation for it.
Read full review Great for standard web application performance monitoring, analytics and error reporting. Shows line level code errors, gives insight into performance issues (plugins, API issues, etc.). Automation and scheduled scanning in production gives client visibility into 'after deployment' value. Also lets a relatively small number of developers keep tabs on a handful of different site/applications without needing a bunch of tools. The UI is pretty complicated and can be overwhelming for new users. Documentation could be better for the learning curve,
Read full review Pros Runs detailed analysis on captured data to aid in tuning applications. It's possible to run early tests on the bots' codes to detect early performance issues. Read full review Great web interface. Lots of data available in a really clean format, with filtering options and more. Per-user exception tracking. User is complaining about something being broken? Look up their account ID in Sentry and you can see if they've run into any exceptions (with device information included, of course). Source map uploading. Took a little while to figure this out but now we have our deploy script upload sourcemaps to Sentry on each deployment, meaning we get to see stack traces that aren't obfuscated! Very generous free tier – 10,000 events per month. We're nowhere near that yet. Read full review Cons Does not collect all performance indicators(toolchain measurements) in early CI pipelines. Read full review Alert Configuration. Would be really helpful to have multiple logical groupings within the "If" section of a single configurable alert. Alert Copying. Being able to copy an alert from one project to another would be super beneficial. Alert Tags. Better UI around how we select which tags are getting sent with each alert instead of a tiny text box. Read full review Alternatives Considered We used
Rollbar but didn't like the configuration its not easy. And also doesn't support wide features like Sentry although its a cheaper option but doesn't have the dash-boarding like Sentry and its was not easy to integrate webhooks for different purposes. Somehow many people in company where not able to understand
Rollbar dashboard who were very much used to Sentry.
Read full review Return on Investment It has helped us identify issues affecting our and our clients' applications' performance. Smoothened robots deployment. Read full review It helped stabilize our system in the beginning We had to take it down later due to internal reasons and majorly because of cost-cutting process If someone has a unstable system and have no way to figure out what to do, can use sentry at least temporarily along with some other APM to fix their system faster Read full review ScreenShots
