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 most valuable features of Azure Monitor are the login analytics workspace and we can write any kind of custom queries in order to receive the data that is inserted into the login analytics workspace, diagnostic settings, et cetera."
"It is a move-in powerful feature compared to other market-leading tools."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"Azure Monitor's best features are its graphs and charts, the different visibility options, and reporting."
"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"The product performs well."
"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."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"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 solution is user-friendly."
"The biggest one is probably just the user interface. There could be more advanced logging at the database level. They can also improve their query builder to allow you to search for things better, but I last used it about a year ago. They might have already changed a ton of things in the newer versions."
"It might not have all of the capabilities we will need."
"The solution's monitoring feature has limitations for analyzing multiple metrics."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"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."
"Enhancing and reaching a level of detail that facilitates pinpointing and addressing issues at such a refined level within the application and database components would be helpful."
"have used multiple products like Webex and PRTG. Some features could be added. Azure Monitor should add SMS and APIs. We have very limited access to Azure Monitor. I usually get alerts on my phone when they are integrated with Slack. I am not always available, but my team is. Sometimes, I am traveling and don't have access to my email, but I have Slack and other third-party projects that send me instant messages if a sensor goes down."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"The price could be lowered."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
