We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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: Elastic Observability is the preferred choice over Sentry due to its comprehensive features such as machine learning, custom development, and predictive analytics. Users note that Elastic Observability has a steep learning curve but is cost-effective and helps reduce incidents and overheads. Sentry has limitations in automation, tracking, and analytics capabilities, as well as customization options.
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product performs well."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"The interface could be improved."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The price could be lowered."
