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.
"The PurePath feature enables you to see the path from click to database query."
"It is much easier to deploy, maintain, and delivery of high value insights, which almost immediately lowers the mean time to value and resolution of issues."
"Mean time to root cause analysis decreased drastically."
"It is a product that helps developers, testers, and operations to make sure their applications work quickly and reliably."
"Provides more insight into detecting what the problem is with some of our applications."
"It has helped us by reducing the number of incidents that we have had in the past."
"We are quite happy with the support that they have been providing."
"Finally, we have 100% visibility on website performance, including third-party sources."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The product performs well."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"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 breaks everything down in real time."
"The initial setup was challenging for us. However, it was complex until you grasped the nuances of the product and the building blocks."
"I would say it's not scalable, because we've had to move large applications that were in a shared environment to their own separate Dynatrace server instance."
"The challenge with AppMon is, what if you don't have an AppMon agent on a host, but it talks to the database. It talks to it, but I don't have either a host agent or an AppMon agent on it. That has been a challenge, but I believe the Dynatrace agent, the OneAgent, will solve that, potentially."
"The business use case is that most people want to see how many orders came in. I'd like to be able to get data out of JavaScript tags, and capture more data. I think that would make it much more useful, rather than using Google Analytics. Instead, have one tool to capture all the stack, that would make it easy."
"Pretty much every month there are new features. However, its information on those new features is scarce."
"So far, we have not achieved the benefit of preventing issues."
"The products or company go through a rebrand/renaming about once a year, which creates some confusion with our customers."
"It would be nice if there were a way that it could be made simpler, given the complexity of the things that we're monitoring."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
