We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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: Elastic Observability is the preferred choice over Sentry due to its comprehensive features such as machine learning, custom development, and predictive analytics. Users note that Elastic Observability has a steep learning curve but is cost-effective and helps reduce incidents and overheads. Sentry has limitations in automation, tracking, and analytics capabilities, as well as customization options.
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"The product performs well."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The interface could be improved."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"The price could be lowered."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
