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."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"The product performs well."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"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 needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"The interface could be improved."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The price could be lowered."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"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."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
