Likelihood to Recommend 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 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 The Deja-Click Recorder is an excellent tool. Good UI that translates to large NOC screens well. Easy Alerting and Reporting. Rob Bates Public & Private Cloud Senior Engineer
Read full review Cons 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 Tool is complicated for Alert creation AlertSite GUI need improvement. As compared to Datadog, it needs improvement in GUI While using AlertSite, many times we faced false alerting, they need to take a look at it to improve performance.

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 We moved all of our services to
Site24x7 after several years with AlertSite. We looked at
Uptrends and
Pingdom to name a few whilst evaluating options.
Pingdom lacks functionality and
Uptrends we found to have quite a steep learning curve. AlertSites platform and in particular the Deja-Click recorder is a standout tool against the other platforms. Sadly the upscaling costs of multi-location transactions can quickly add up.

Read full review Return on Investment 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 A negative thing is Monitoring locations would have issues and cause false-positive alerts and due to that monitoring team's repetitive work has increased. A positive thing that I have noticed so far is the fact that the AlertSite customers support team is trying to build relationships and go the extra mile to make sure we can overcome any occurring issues and they are quick to respond and provide sufficient guidance for implementing efficiently, and fix products issues.
