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.
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"I use the solution to monitor the infrastructure and applications."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"It's a service from Microsoft, so it will scale."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"Good load and metrics gathering and very good analysis."
"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."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"The product performs well."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"The monitoring of Kubernetes clusters needs improvement to be on par with competitors."
"This solution has fewer features than some of its competitors, so adding more features to it would make it better."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"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."
"The price could be lowered."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
