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.
"Never seen anything so complex be so simple to install."
"Some of the main benefits are being able to quickly identify when transactions start to slow or run into issues, or hiccups if you will."
"Daily metrics which us analyze the page composition and the corresponding performance metrics so we can quickly and easily determine when something has changed, to aid in root cause analysis."
"We can analyse problems more quickly, and detecting problems becomes easier with Dynatrace."
"Metrics for CPU, memory, network, and disk. It provides extensive end-user, application, and infrastructure platform and technology support, including mobile, web browser, Java, .NET, PHP, servers, networks, and mainframe."
"The dashboard gives us something to show managers and our business where the problems are. That's really been eye-opening for them. They can see, yes, this tool has been a good investment. They can see where the problems are and how we can take advantage of it for making those necessary corrections."
"The ability to take each individual request and dive in to inspect what methods and calls are being made is extremely helpful."
"I have reduced our disruption time. With the automatic alerts, we prevent and better catch the root cause of problems."
"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 product performs well."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"They need a capability similar to Tealeaf where you can actually view what the consumer is doing and record the sessions. That is the biggest missing element."
"For the manage services, they work on CloudWatch logs and are given CloudWatch logs only. I would like more collaboration with AWS and insight into CloudWatch services. This would be valuable, especially when detecting the fault of the root cause analysis. It would make the process go faster."
"Need better mapping to true business service rather than purely technical monitoring."
"There is still a certain amount of technical skills needed to be able to understand what you are seeing on it. You also need a large amount of technical or infrastructure skills to understand how and where to install it."
"Network monitoring is lacking and could be improved."
"It definitely needs HA, because we have so many applications that are dependent on AppMon that it has been deemed critical. Any downtime, it just affects so many users. So that's one of our key asks for the future."
"The configuration of this solution is quite complex."
"Waiting for the session replay needs improvement."
"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."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"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."
