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 most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"The product performs well."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"The search lookups are useful."
"It can log more logs than other solutions. It's a good way to troubleshoot problems."
"It is easy to use in any environment."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers two valuable features: the Common Information Model and arrangement modules."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"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."
"It is very stable. We have not had any problems."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"The price could be lowered."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported."
"The solution could improve by making it more business analysis oriented. The way it is now is designed more for developers."
"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."
"A lot of people are averse to using new tools so if they make it even more user-friendly than it already is, I think that could go a long way."
