We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor 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: After analyzing user feedback, it can be concluded that Azure Monitor is the preferred choice when compared to Sentry. Azure Monitor stands out due to its extensive range of features, such as integration with Visual Studio, Power BI, and additional Azure services. The ease of setup, stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are also highly appreciated. Although Sentry is acknowledged for its accuracy and compatibility with multiple tools, Azure Monitor offers a more comprehensive and adaptable solution for monitoring and resolving issues with cloud resources.

"The upside to the solution is if you are working in a Microsoft or Azure environment, it makes things easier."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"For me, the best feature is the log analysis with Azure Monitor's Log Analytics. Without being able to analyze the logs of all the activities that affect the performance of a machine, your monitoring effectiveness will be severely limited."
"The tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"Among the valuable features of this solution, Application Insights stands out as one of the most significant. It provides insights into application performance and helps identify issues and bottlenecks."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."

"They need to work with other cloud providers - not just Azure."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"The price could be lower but it is not a must."
"I would like more transparency when we use the solution with another environment, like on-premises, or on another cloud environment, like AWS or GCP."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"Although it's not always the case, the price can sometimes get expensive. This depends on a number of factors, such as how many services you are trying to integrate with Azure Monitor and how much storage they're consuming each month (for example, how large are the log files?)."
"They should include advanced logging on the database level in the Azure pool."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"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."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
