Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The product performs well."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"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."
"It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial."
"Good for log collection and log management."
"The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"We have a more secure, robust environment, which keeps the harmful software out of the zone required."
"It's better than IBM, in my opinion, because it's an independent entity."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"Some of the search functions can be better. There has been a lot of talk at the conference about the update of SPL before each iteration. That will be a lot of help."
"Splunk Enterprise Security can provide more details and help CISOs resolve vulnerability situations better. The reason is that the tools we choose for data analysis and log collection cannot collect all the data and logs. Splunk Enterprise Security should help me with this, but it cannot."
"I would like additional features in different programming models with the support for writing queries in SQL or other languages, such as C#, Java, or some other type of query definitions."
"The product could be cheaper."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
"I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk."
