Overall Satisfaction with Sentry
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.
- Comprehensive toolkit, wide variety of monitoring/tracking/testing metrics.
- Excellent developer workflow integrations (Jira, ClickUP, Slack., etc.)
- Gives depth to basic web analytics (causes of performance issues etc.)
- Can be extremely complex to implement, especially if you have a variety of different platform stacks
- Learning curve for setting up/understanding dashboards/output.
- Complex pricing model for certain applications.
- Automated scanning.
- Error inspection and crash detection alerts
- Daily email summaries and automation emails.
- Relatively intensive layer of protection and prevention.
- Provides insights to developers as to the nature of code issues.
- Provides insights to optimize code performance.
We actually ended up using both because New Relic is a more robust overall IT infrastructure monitoring product. However, sentry is more developer oriented on the backend and more client friendly on the front end as far as showing results and the dashboard etc. It can provide product level insights that New Relic does not.
