Sentry Reviews & Product Details

I really enjoy Sentry's ease of integration, i've worked on a lot different codebases, and Sentry is always very easy to integrate regardless of the architecture.

Recently, i integrated Sentry on a pretty distributed app architecture, and we were able to get traces from React, Node and Rust, and using trace continuation across Typescript, TSX and Rust.

I also use Sentry's notifications on Slack, so i can follow specific labels, for errors on the modules that i'm the owner of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think this is user error, but it's very easy to get a noisy Sentry if not configured correctly.

When integration you need mainly uncaught exceptions are logged into sentry, and any important errors, such a specific integration thats key to your app.

I try to avoid having captureException calls around, and having a good architecture that makes it so actual exceptions, DB errors, Library Errors, etc, do make it to the top level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really find Sentry helpful for identifying code level bugs through the issues section. It’s great that I can add our app and get warnings and error messages which I can report to the dev team to optimize app performance. The insights and dashboards are also really useful, especially for creating weekly reports. I like that the dashboard provides web page load times with different percentile values, which is important for understanding user impact and improving user experience by reducing loading times. After the initial setup, it became very comfortable to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry does not provide insights for video content like video start time and buffer time, making it difficult to analyze video performance. Also, although Sentry tracks page loads, it would be beneficial to have an option to view weekly or monthly uptime for different pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Sentry's documentation, it is very good and well indexed and structured, which makes it easy to change my observation strategy with agility. Additionally, I think Sentry's price is very good and competitive compared to other more expensive tools. The integration with our application framework was quite simple, as the perfect use case was documented and well updated. Sentry also integrates well with other tools we use, such as our Cloud Code and Slack, for issue resolution and receiving alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yes, what I have already mentioned. I think that traces, at least in NodeJS and TypeScript, sometimes you lose the trace due to the asynchronous nature of Node, which results in orphan traces. I remember this didn't happen to me with Dynam Trace, as it was injected at the container level, while Sentry seems to rely on Open Telemetry, which has its own small inconveniences in TypeScript, which are a bit cumbersome.

Sentry is incredible at cutting through the noise. Instead of sifting through endless logs trying to find what went wrong, Sentry groups related errors together and surfaces the ones that actually matter. The real-time alerting is fast and actionable, and the stack traces with source maps make debugging so much faster. We went from spending hours tracking down production issues to resolving them in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can add up quickly once you start hitting higher event volumes, and the alert configuration has a bit of a learning curve to get dialed in without getting spammed. The UI can also feel slightly overwhelming at first with all the features available, but once you know your way around it becomes second nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Sentry is trying to base itself on a standard like OpenTelemetry, which makes it easier for us to follow a standard. If we decide to change in the future, the cost would be very low, and that's an advantage. Additionally, the documentation is quite good, which makes it easy to integrate and scale.

Seer should be more agnostic. Also, the mapping for TypeScript with JavaScript doesn't work very well. On the other hand, sometimes spans are lost for certain executions. I would like greater integration with nest.js because although you support it well, I think the way of handling errors only for unhandled exceptions is not correct. The initial configuration was also a bit limited for the level of monitoring we are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry is a great monitoring tool that allows us to keep track of unexpected errors in different projects and have them mapped to different teams based on a set of rules you can define for each repository is great!

In addiction to that, the power to setup alerts and connect them to each team slack channel makes the issues identification and fix so much easier and smoother for all engineers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback is the absence of automated processes to determine which team owns a specific issue. Although there are mapping options available, they require manual setup. Introducing an AI-based assignment feature would truly be a game changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its real-time error tracking and clear debugging insights make identifying and fixing issues fast and efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can get expensive as usage scales, and the interface can feel a bit complex for new users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real user crash reports with full stack traces beat "cannot reproduce" tickets any day. The breadcrumbs feature shows exactly what users did before crashing, helped me write regression tests for edge cases we never thought of. Release tracking lets us pinpoint which build introduced bugs. Performance monitoring caught ANRs in our payment flow that only happened on low-end devices. Session replay basically shows me the bug happening live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes crashes get grouped wrong and we miss critical issues. The Android SDK adds almost 2MB to our APK size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Developer-first features that are easy to use and let you go deep where you need it. The docs are easy to follow to get everything setup, took only a few minutes to get it setup for a new Next.js project. I jump in every few days/weekly to see what errors have popped up, as more usage happens in the service, I'm sure I will use it more. Very easy to integrate into our workflows.

It can be overwhelming just how many features there are, it throws you into the deep end with what you can see. Which lets you attack what you want to get at easily, but can make it hard to know exactly where to draw the line initially Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Sentry for its ease of use in the dashboard and the great Javascript libraries it offers. The good documentation makes it even more valuable, as it allows for easy adoption. It does everything I need at an affordable price, and the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limits for the lower pricing plans could be a touch higher Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
