"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"The simplicity of the dashboard is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"It has helped my organization to dive deeper into the application using the APM module is very helpful."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"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 stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka."
"I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes."
"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."

"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"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."
