What do you like best about Sentry?

It is my first choice as a crash reporting tool for web, mobile and games.

It has support for the latest languages such as JavaScript, Ruby, Python, PHP, and Node.js.

It shows me the exact performed actions from the users which has led to the crash and thus providing a deep insight for the actions as well as the related workflows which have caused the error and definitely it is of great use for me to debug the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

It will provide you with lots of features but when it comes to the trail of events it may fail helping you.

It is surely not helpful for you to show a historical event of errors and bugs which have occurred.

If you want to capture other issues with the code, you cannot expect much from the tool with that too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sentry:

Surely recommended for a trial as it it is an easy to use and helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been suing it and found that it is very easy to operate and can be started of easily with the documentation.

It will notify the affected users about the crash so that they are aware that they have encountered an error and it will be resolved pretty soon.

It automatically prompts the users for feedback so that they know when things aren’t working fine. You can also get to know about the details like where error has happened, its frequency and the affected users.

You are free to choose from the notifications options from a range of email, SMS, or live chat when any error occurs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sentry?

Because of how well it integrates with Java, I was able to incorporate it without drastically altering our code, which greatly increased its acceptance with us. With the application performance monitoring tool, we have been able to streamline processes and identify bottlenecks that were previously invisible without more advanced technology. Its real-time error detection and reporting capabilities, which are critical for all our Java projects, have become an integral part of our development process. Thanks to real-time notifications that include full details of errors, the exact line of code where the error occurred and the context of the problem, we no longer have to spend so much time debugging the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

A few of the team's developers needed some time to adjust to their new workflow before we could properly configure the notification rules and tailor reports to our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sentry has changed the rules of the game for our organization. I had to invest a considerable effort in checking the records for production errors. We can now find defects in minutes and resolve them before they affect users thanks to its automatic tracking system. A few days ago we discovered an unexpected latency problem in a critical API, it was really an amazing experience. With the help of Sentry’s performance analysis, we can identify the specific technique that was causing queries to run slowly, improve it and achieve a reduction in response time of more than 60%.

What do you like best about Sentry?

Sentry is the best solution I've used for tracking errors across our sites. The setup is super simple (at least in our case) and it has plenty of config options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Pricing structures could be a bit better, but it's no worse than competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sentry simplifies a lot of processes that we need for monitoring our sites into one tool. It tracks & notifies us of bugs on the sites while giving excellent stack traces and environment information, it gives us aggregated information about our logs and the occurrence of warnings & errors, and allows us to monitor real-user performance of our sites.

This saves us the effort of having to conduct real user tests, having to aggregate data from our logs into usable information. It also gives us an easy solution for notifying our devs when there are errors in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much, thankfully. They've been there for me when needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sentry?

I like the fact that it's extremely straightforward to use. has amazing tools like replays etc that have made debugging my react native applications very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

there's a little bit of delay on error getting shown in the dashboard. but super managable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've have issues where a bug fix would be delayed due to async communications as all teams are distributed. but, with sentry, it immediately notifies exact cause to the email and most of the times, the outcome is 'aha that's what it is' and push a fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sentry?

The depth of information for bug resolution in the code is impressive. Sentry provides granular yet simple insights into these details. The best part is that it's plug-and-play, allowing you to implement it in just minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

There aren't many plan options. Unfortunately, application insights are only available in the Business plan. The entry price might not be feasible for those just starting out with something small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sentry is used for error alerts in production and tracking these errors for proper resolution, as well as improving query performance, which can often impact the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sentry?

The ability and philosophy of giving developers ownership of their code from end-to-end. The integrations especially with GitHub and related workflows are extremely powerful if leveraged correctly. They are always improving and open to suggestions, and they are open source! Enterprise support is amazing and it is extremely easy to use, most setups are minor and quick to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

The budget management for "noisy" projects in a larger organization are problematic, they need to add a monthly hard stop limit of budget to projects (and alert on it) rather than the reserved allocation (essentially they did it in reverse). Along with that, improving how the JavaScript SDK is easily used with micro-frontends would be helpful but that is a relatively new technology (though it's growing in adoption quickly). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us monitor our web applications and some backends (we'd use more if the budget management was easier) it allows us to make actionable quickly any issues and get a view of the system health. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sentry?

Sentry saves me when a problem emerges outside of test coverage: I know about bugs to at make it to production as soon as they happen and get a crystal-clear view into why they happen. They've even got an experimental ai solutions feature that has worked quite well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sentry?

It works! It's easy to maintain as self-host ( there is separate repo for it)

There are increasing number of debug helping features (replays and profiling).

Nicely integrates with SSO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

When self-hosting it consists of around 30 containers and some of them "fail" quietly that results in explosions when you dont expect. Yet still happens rather rarely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We track bugs and grouping them is very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
