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.
"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 tools for logs and metrics are pretty good and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it's stable. It hasn't crossed any thresholds."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"I am monitoring all of my Azure Monitor and getting good reports. I can customize the reports to get the information I need. I am also getting emails about which AAS instances are down and everything in the system related to my services. It is easy to use, scalable, and user-friendly. Microsoft has Many guides and videos to help you understand how to create and use Azure Monitor."
"Recently, they have improved their integration with other resources, so we get even more robust data."
"The solution very easily integrates with Azure services and in one click you can monitor your resource."
"Azure Monitor is very stable."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The product performs well."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The troubleshooting logs need improvement. There should be some improvement there. I have a hard time finding the right logs at the right times whenever there is an issue occurring."
"Azure Monitor could improve the visualization aspect and integrate better with other third-party services."
"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."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"This solution could be improved with more out-of-the-box functionalities and artificial intelligence to complete event correlation."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"The solution should have cross-connection or cross-communication between tech partners."
"We encounter some difficulties in monitoring the operating system on its own."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
