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 solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"One of the most useful aspects of this solution is the out-of-the-box functionality on all areas, especially on Application Insights, zero instrumentation, and artificial intelligence for event correlation."
"Azure Monitor is a very easy-to-use product in the cloud environment."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"Azure Monitor is useful because of the useful application insights and telemetry, such as metrics and logs."
"Azure Monitor is really just a source for Dynatrace. It's just collecting data and monitoring the environment and the infrastructure. It is fairly good at that."
"It is a robust, stable product."
"Data exporting is easy, and this tool works seamlessly with other solutions. It's a stable and low-priced solution."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The product performs well."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"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 scalability could be improved as there are some limitations."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"The query builder could be better. In comparison to other monitoring tools, in order to use Azure Monitor, your engineers need to have KQL experience. If they don't, it's not intuitive as a system."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"They can simplify the overall complexity since you have multiple data sources in the cloud for monitoring. It's quite simple, but there are so many portals. It takes time to work with it. If they could simplify the user configuration, that would be good."
"I'd like the solution to do more around vulnerability assessment. It's lacking in the product right now."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"The price could be lowered."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
