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.
"The feature that I found most valuable in Azure Monitor is its monitoring abilities. With Azure Monitor, you are able to monitor all of your cloud resources across multiple subscriptions in one dashboard and create solution-specific alerts that can trigger an email to the team responsible for that specific solution."
"You can scale the product."
"It's a Microsoft native tool, so it works well with other Microsoft technologies, which is predominantly what our customer end-user base is."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"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."
"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."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Lacks information including details related to where problems lie."
"Currently, it seems it's complicated to get the correct information in terms of what to do and how things work."
"In terms of pricing, Azure Monitor's billing based on data size can sometimes lead to increased costs, especially when developers need to purge data frequently. While there are mechanisms in place to track and manage this, there is room for improvement in terms of optimizing data pausing and related processes. Enhancements in this area could help mitigate potential billing concerns and provide a more seamless experience for users."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"Azure Monitor's integration with applications could be improved."
"The solution needs better monitoring. It requires better log controls."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"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."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
