We performed a comparison between Dynatrace 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: Dynatrace has more extensive features, including real user monitoring, session replay, and synthetic monitoring. Dynatrace also has superior AI capabilities, and better topology visualization with its Kubernetes module. Sentry is user-friendly and has accurate error management, but users suggest it needs more comprehensive tracking and analytics capabilities, better integration, and lower pricing. Customer service and support quality information for Sentry are limited. Overall, Dynatrace offers more value for its price and has received higher user ratings.
"I think the design is pretty scalable. It's pretty easy to add additional nodes if we need to. Also, it's easy to migrate changes from one environment to another."
"The ability to use PurePath in analytics is definitely the most valuable feature. It helps you pinpoint issues, then develop and focus them in the right way."
"We monitor end-to-end availability of the application and deep dive PurePath analysis of real user visits."
"I find that the AI on offer is useful, as it's good at identifying problems. You do need a bit of customizing, however, even in its sort of vanilla form, it's pretty good at identifying problems and the root causes of those problems and whatnot."
"The memory dumps, the tracing, and PurePath. All the tracing that you can do with the tool is, for us, our life. It's our daily job and it saves us a lot of time looking for performance issues."
"We like the on-premises platform and the horizontal scalability."
"You don't have to configure it. It just needs to be installed."
"The stability for the solution is pretty solid overall."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"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."
"The product performs well."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"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."
"Sometimes it is hard to find the right setting for what you want to change."
"The web interface, in some cases, is a little ambiguous to use."
"C language integration requires manual implementation through the SDK, which is rather difficult and time consuming."
"It can be improved in narrowing the exact exception/ERROR in application monitoring."
"I'd like to see more agents ready to be deployed. I know that it's possible to develop integration with Dynatrace API, but in day-to-day operations it's hard to do that kind of customization. So if they had more agents for more platforms and more applications, I think it would be better."
"The web-based UI needs to be improved."
"For AppMon, in order to use the rich client especially, I think you have to be somebody who is in there more often than not. It's not necessarily as intuitive as it could be."
"It is necessary to improve the integration with the product, Oracle Siebel."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"The price could be lowered."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
