We're evaluating APM tools and Sentry keeps coming up. We already use it for error tracking, but I'm wondering if it's worth using for performance monitoring too, or if we'd be better off with a dedicated APM tool.
##### Post Metadata - Posted at: 7 months ago - Net upvotes: 1 ## Comments ### Comment 1 Sentry covers the core APM use cases: distributed tracing across services, transaction-level performance monitoring with P50/P75/P95/P99 breakdowns, and alerts when things regress. If you're already using it for errors, the biggest win is that errors and slow transactions share the same trace, so you're not jumping between tools to figure out what happened. It also tracks slow database queries and surfaces N+1 issues automatically, monitors web vitals like LCP, CLS, and INP tied back to specific code, and does continuous profiling so you can see function-level performance data, not just spans. Sentry focuses on the application layer, so everything it surfaces is directly tied to your code. For most teams already using Sentry for errors, turning on performance is a straightforward call. You get meaningful APM coverage without adding another vendor, and the shared context between errors and traces is genuinely useful. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 3 months ago ## Related Product [Sentry](https://www.g2.com/products/sentry/reviews) ## Related Category [Bug Tracking](https://www.g2.com/categories/bug-tracking) ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: over 13 years ago - Comments: 4
