New Relic has a simpler user interface and straightforward pricing, while Sentry's pricing is expensive.
"The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."
"The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"They have baseline level alerting."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
"End-user Synthetics and monitoring are very good."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The product performs well."
"The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"The customization of the start and end time is kind of cool."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"The price needs improvement."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"The price could be lowered."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
