"It allows you to better utilize and focus your talent, and tell management that you are not only looking at problems, but how you can ultimately make the product better for the end user."
"It has helped us improve the performance of many of our applications."
"One of the features that sets this product apart from its competitors is that it generates a solution."
"This solution is perfectly stable. The main feature with this solution is that you do not need to do a lot stuff. Everything is being done by the tool itself. Everything is in there for you. There is nothing much needed from your resources; it is all in there."
"A very powerful solution for the end user."
"The ability to really drill into performance issues and help our application teams understand what is causing the business's problems."
"The visibility that it provides is most valuable."
"Mean time to root cause analysis decreased drastically."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"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."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The product performs well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"When integrating this solution with any third party applications, there is an additional cost to pay. This can make the solution very costly to use."
"The new Dynatrace solution lacks test-automation integration inside the CI pipeline. I hope that will arrive soon."
"Waiting for the session replay needs improvement."
"The configuration of this solution is quite complex."
"More visibility into Python processes."
"Beginner video tutorials would really help."
"It could improve its GUI interface. The GUI design is too crowded and the icons are small. Sometimes I end up clicking on the wrong button."
"I haven't had a chance to go through all of it, but I would like to see the ability, from an administrative standpoint, for it to collect statistics. I want to be able to see the servers that the agents are installed on. I want it to be able to start doing collections for me by platform: How many Linux servers do I have? How many Windows servers do I have? Statistically give me the information of how things are performing, but I want that in a dashboard, where I can look at a dashboard and I can look at a section. So the ability for me to drill down will make it easier for me."
"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."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"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."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"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."
