Human resources often fall short in fulfilling this objective. However, IT managers can move closer to this goal with automation, but how can they apply different automation to major IT functions?   [ ![Tian Lin](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Tian Lin") TL ](https://learn.g2.com/author/tian-lin) by Tian Lin [![AIOps Is Not Yet Ideal for Every Business](https://learn.g2.com/hubfs/aiops.jpeg "AIOps Is Not Yet Ideal for Every Business")](https://www.g2.com/articles/aiops-is-not-yet-ideal-for-every-business) [ ### AIOps Is Not Yet Ideal for Every Business ](https://www.g2.com/articles/aiops-is-not-yet-ideal-for-every-business) AIOps is one of the most important IT milestones in the next decade; however, due to high cost and limited functionality, AIOps software is still an immature market.  [ ![Tian Lin](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Tian Lin") TL ](https://learn.g2.com/author/tian-lin) by Tian Lin [![Why Most Businesses’ Mobile Presence Failed](https://learn.g2.com/hubfs/Mobile%20website.jpg "Why Most Businesses’ Mobile Presence Failed")](https://www.g2.com/articles/businesses-mobile-presence) [ ### Why Most Businesses’ Mobile Presence Failed ](https://www.g2.com/articles/businesses-mobile-presence) Digitalization is the key to success for many businesses today, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Answered: Rajat Apploy on July 5, 2026 [Your answer](/discussions/how-does-logrocket-compare-to-microsoft-clarity/comments/new?remote=true) 0 Question on: Sentry [Does Sentry support distributed tracing?](/discussions/does-sentry-support-distributed-tracing) _We're running a microservices architecture and tracing requests across services has been a pain point. Does Sentry handle distributed tracing well? We're also already using OpenTelemetry, wondering if we'd have to re-instrument everything or if it works with our existing setup._ Yes, and the OpenTelemetry question is probably the more useful one to answer first: No, you don't need to re-instrument. Sentry supports OTLP, so you can point your existing OTel setup at Sentry and your traces will show up without touching your instrumentation. Docs here: https://docs.sentry.io/concepts/otlp/ On distributed tracing: it follows requests across services end-to-end, so you can see exactly where a transaction slowed down or broke and which service caused it. In a microservices setup the useful part is that errors don't show up in isolation, you get the full request path that led to them. And if you're already using Sentry for errors, that context lives in the same place. Same issue, same trace.
