Sentry Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sentry is our window to the performance of the website, giving us insight in performance and more importantly insight in the errors occuring there, so we can fix them reactively, if not proactively.

Besides the observability Sentry grants us itsself, we also export the logging to an external dashboarding tool to grant us one source of insight

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it is particularly suited for frontend observability and debugging. To me personally it feels less suitable for backend debugging, but that could be lack of experience as we only used it once like that and the backend ate the quotum, leading to other teams having no bandwidth left to work with, which impacted adabtability in those teams

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sentry for Client Side web application and performance Monitoring. We needed to track and troubleshoot client side errors for frontend application and the measure the performance of our frontend applications and some backend applications and also for website monitoring. Easy installation and implementation and provides support for entra-id groups for user maintenance

Likelihood to Recommend

Great tool for front-end checks. Compared to a few years ago, they have made significant progress in terms of quality, features, and a more user-friendly interface. It has improved considerably. The session replays are also extremely useful. They make it possible to determine exactly how the user interacted with the website and where exactly things went wrong. By default, all text values are hidden in Sentry, ensuring that no user-sensitive data is disclosed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sentry is used mostly for logs, code debugging, and error handling. It takes a central place in the entire error handling process, including analytics and related insights.

Likelihood to Recommend

Working with Sentry feels very natural once you understand how it's built and how to find everything in its platform. You can connect it to outside notification sources such as emails, Slack messages, etc., which makes it even easier to handle errors and issues quickly.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use sentry primarily for application monitoring, our biggest use case of sentry is log and error monitoring. For our money Sentry is best at it, it gives full views of errors that happen on your applications with incredible captured details like causes, lines and other specifications we couldnt find in other platforms we were considering.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are just getting started and looking to scale Sentry is perfect, for us we were using it on NodeJS and we simply had to install a few lines of code to making it work in minutes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have many microservices and its very important to monitor them for errors and any other bugs. So we needed some dashboard where we can see the full trace of the error occurred while the user was using our product and Sentry just does that. Its so easy to integrate and see the error traces with the information of user and the line from where the error originated.

Likelihood to Recommend

Some of cases would be:-

<ul><li>get full trace of the error occurred with user information like primary key.</li><li>Grouping of similar kinds of errors.</li><li>Assigning the errors to someone from company and creating it as a jira issue for resolution tracing.</li><li>differentiating errors according to the environment where they occured.</li><li>role based access for the dashboard for different users of company.</li></ul>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use sentry for monitoring and tracking errors in our system. We have set up our own self-hosted instance for monitoring multiple systems. In fact multiple instances of sentry for different orgs. We heavily used it for alerting and identifying unknown or uncaught exceptions and also real time alerting for the same.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for a company that is somewhat okay with spending money on extra monitoring. But it is not for a company that is very small in size, because it is not really required for such small-sized applications and also brings the cost of operation higher. But it is a very useful tool if you have decent traffic in your systems and require aggressive monitoring

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Proactive web application monitoring, performance monitoring in production, crash reporting and error logging. Allows us to autonomously monitor a variety of web apps, sites, back end processes and the like with automated tools, scheduled scanning, comprehensive reporting and a relatively easy to use/understand dashboard. Excellent for providing client visibility.

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,

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sentry is being used only by our R&amp;D department in our organization. We use it in order to collect information on client-side problems of our platform, in order to later on analyze this information and try to come up with the most important or most impactful bugs that we need to fix in order to supply a better experience to our users.

Likelihood to Recommend

For us, as an organization that develops an online SAAS platform, Sentry is the best solution for monitoring the client-side problems we have in our platform. We have many other alerting and monitoring tools, but these are used to detect problems on the backend side, while Sentry is the only one that helps us understanding the problems in the code facing the customers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sentry is our primary application monitoring solution. We use Sentry to stay on top of bugs, regressions, core web vitals, long running queries, performance bottlenecks, page speed, etc. Sentry allows us to not only track and monitor issues but also troubleshoot them.

Likelihood to Recommend

Frankly, Sentry works very well as a full-range monitoring solution. It's not always easy to understand <i>why</i> an issue occurred, but that's about the only area where I think I would like to see them improve.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sentry is being used across all the cloud teams at our organization. It is helping us to monitor all of our production applications and get real time alerts when any issues arise. It integrates into Slack as well which helps us facilitate issue triage and incident management.

Likelihood to Recommend

[Sentry] is honestly an amazing product. It allows us to detect errors in real time complete with stack traces and any extra accompanying information the developer wants to provide in the alert. With the alerting into Slack it has allowed us to quickly triage and tag in people who need eyes on a specific issue. It would be really useful in any Saas product environment.
