"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"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."

"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"The price could be lowered."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
