We performed a comparison between Sentry and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The product performs well."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"Internal tracking is helpful because we do not like to deal with multiple ticketing systems, and I am not a fan of ServiceNow. We are able to keep everything internal and utilize Enterprise Security."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ability to transact in the cloud and its ability to onboard data easily with minimum connectors."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"The connections to the database are very good and updating the data files is simple to do. The dashboards are useful and user-friendly."
"The ability to view all of these different logs, then drilling down into specific times or into specific data sources, has proved to be the greatest aspect in decreasing our troubleshooting overhead time."
"The most valuable feature is the custom dashboard feature."
"It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query on Splunk. The resolution time is about the same, but it took longer to discover the issue with ArcSight. Our previous solution took about an hour or more, but Splunk can do it within a few minutes or an hour at most."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"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."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"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."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"There are a lot of competitive products that are doing better than what Splunk is doing on the analytics side."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
"The configuration could be better."
"Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution."
"The support and the pricing can be better"
"Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help."
"The documentation is in definite need of improvement."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
