We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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: Elastic Observability is the preferred choice over Sentry due to its comprehensive features such as machine learning, custom development, and predictive analytics. Users note that Elastic Observability has a steep learning curve but is cost-effective and helps reduce incidents and overheads. Sentry has limitations in automation, tracking, and analytics capabilities, as well as customization options.
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"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."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The product performs well."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The interface could be improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"The price could be lowered."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
