We performed a comparison between Sentry and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The product performs well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The product has a good security posture."
"It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
"One of the most valuable features is threat hunting. We can do threat hunting and identify if there is any malicious activity happening within our environment, which is a key feature for us."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"The ability to manage large amounts of generated data and to protect all devices from unauthorized use are the most valuable features."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup isn't overly complex."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"While Splunk offers SOAR as a separate product, integrating it into the next version of Splunk Enterprise Security as a unified solution would be beneficial."
"Sometimes, there is latency in the logs."
"The algorithms customization of Splunk could improve. They have limited algorithms for machine learning support. If they can allow the user to add more machine learning algorithms, such as the ability to choose the algorithm that a user might want. Additionally, they should provide the required libraries for those algorithms, and then analyzes the data for use."
"The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people."
"It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"Splunk is very expensive. The license is based on the volume of the logs ingested. I was responsible for managing the contract with our service integrator. I don't know the precise details of the competing solution, but I have heard that Splunk is more expensive than others. I don't know what the going rate is on the market, but I think there are at least two competitors that are less expensive. We have experienced a few issues with our service providers in terms of log filtering and ingestion, so we continue to pay a bit more per day for our logs."
"It needs a better way to export dynamic views without requiring a ton of code and user/pw."
