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."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."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The product performs well."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"Without Splunk Enterprise Security, it would be difficult for us to manage and prioritize alerts. There's a potential to lose track of important notifications, and it's essential to our security that we do not miss anything. Splunk has improved our investigations because the reporting and dashboarding make things so much easier. We can provide weekly or monthly reports. I also like Splunk's ability to integrate."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"This solution helps us increase our productivity."
"The solution is the market leader."
"The dashboards are the most valuable feature. We like the ability to drill in and see what queries are under the dashboard, build new visualizations, edit the querying, and see the reports."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"The price could be lowered."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"The search could be improved. Now, it is a bit difficult to write search queries because they become quite long, then maintaining those long search queries is a quite challenging."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
"You do need a lot of training and certification with this product."
"The threat detection library needs to increase the frequency at which the playbooks are updated."
"Its reporting can be improved. That's the only complaint I have heard. I don't need the reporting part, but I know that other people in the organization need it."
"Enterprise security: Splunk must work on clarifying the solution to customers and explain how to gain more from it."
