We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Sentry based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: After analyzing user feedback, it can be concluded that Azure Monitor is the preferred choice when compared to Sentry. Azure Monitor stands out due to its extensive range of features, such as integration with Visual Studio, Power BI, and additional Azure services. The ease of setup, stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are also highly appreciated. Although Sentry is acknowledged for its accuracy and compatibility with multiple tools, Azure Monitor offers a more comprehensive and adaptable solution for monitoring and resolving issues with cloud resources.
"We like this searchability and availability of the data."
"Provides an overview and high-level information."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to focus on delivery and maximizing the performance of applications and services."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The product performs well."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"I need connectivity with cost management."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"The default interface should be improved."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
