Sentry Reviews & Product Details

Performance Monitoring and Tracing are two features I use almost every day. They've helped me catch slow database queries, API endpoints that are slowing things down, and performance issues I probably wouldn't find by looking at logs alone. Error Monitoring is still the feature I rely on the most. Instead of getting a generic error message, I immediately have the stack trace, browser, environment, app version, affected user, breadcrumbs, and pretty much everything I need to start debugging. There's a lot of information available, but it's organized well enough that I can usually find what matters in just a couple of minutes. I also like where Sentry is going with features like Cron Monitoring and Feature Flags. I find myself using more of the platform over time because everything fits together really well.

Some of the more advanced features, especially around distributed tracing, performance profiling, and full observability, do take a little time to get used to. It's not that they're difficult, but it takes a while to understand how everything fits together. After a few weeks of using them, I definitely get a lot more value out of the platform than I do during those first few days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry’s error tracking is very good. I also think its issue management and debugging management are amazing. The UI/UX is good could be better but performance and support is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI feels very complicated. If someone is new to Sentry, it would definitely make it harder for them to find even simple things. Also, the cost seems proportional to the increase in errors, so startups need to keep a close eye on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry makes it easier to identify and troubleshoot application errors with detailed stack traces and real-time alerts. I also like the visibility it provides into issues across environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can feel overwhelming initially, and some alerts require additional investigation to identify the root cause. Pricing can also become a consideration as usage and event volumes grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the web UI in terms of usabilty.

Also, I noticed that performance is really great.

Other thing really important for us is that Sentry have an integration with Slack, this will be really helpfull.

I found the onboarding process very quick and clear. I work as a QA and I understood it well. However, it might be better to have an onboarding process focused exclusively on QA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't used the tool much to get a complete understanding of it.

However, I've heard from some other people that Sentry could have:

Post-deploy regression analysis

After each deployment, automatically generate a report:

- new errors;

- slower endpoints;

- degraded functionalities;

- comparison with the previous version

I don't know if this is actually not already available, but it would be a great addition to the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Sentry is how effectively it helps me identify and fix issues in real time. Its error tracking is very thorough, with clear stack traces, helpful context, and visibility into user impact, which makes debugging much faster. The performance monitoring and alerts also make it easier to catch problems early, before they affect too many users. Overall, it saves developers a lot of time and helps improve application reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Sentry is that it can feel somewhat complex to set up and fully configure, especially for beginners. The interface is powerful, but it can also be overwhelming at times when you’re trying to navigate issues, filters, and all the available options. Pricing can also become expensive as usage scales, which may be a concern for smaller teams or startups. On top of that, fine-tuning alerts can be tricky, and if you’re not careful with the configuration, it’s easy to end up with too many notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how clear Sentry’s stack traces are. When a bug appears in production, I can quickly see where it’s coming from and which line of code to check. I can mark an issue as resolved and see whether it comes back in a new release. I find Sentry easy to use, and the SDK is easy to set up. The onboarding flow was good, and the UI is intuitive and well thought out. Tags, related issues, and assignment details make bug triage clear. The issue triage flow makes it easy to debug new production issues. I also like the Slack integration for spotting high-priority errors and the Jira integration, which lets me create tickets in a couple of clicks. Setup took about an hour and installing the libraries was a cakewalk. I’ve used comparable products, and I find Sentry top tier for finding production bugs as new code ships.

Working with JavaScript in Sentry can be a little bit of a pain point because I need to upload source maps to properly debug the code. Sentry has made big strides to make this easier, but historically uploading source maps was a pain in the neck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry is fairly easy to set up and use. I can see errors in real time and over time. When I open an event, the information is easily at hand, and I can dig into stack traces to find the pertinent information for determining root cause. It also helps our AI agents quickly diagnose issues and create fixes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the dashboards clunky and hard to set up, so I end up using other tools for that. I wish they were more intuitive, possibly with built-in AI to help set them up and configure them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI is okay-ish, not super intuitive at start and felt a bit confusing with too much data, but once I got used to it it actually became pretty helpful and finding errors is easy. integrations are solid, setup was simple and it just works with our RPA stuff without much effort. performance has been good, errors come almost real time and didn’t notice any slowdown. pricing sometimes feels a bit high but it saves a lot of debugging time so overall worth it. onboarding was decent, docs were enough and didn’t really need much support. AI/intelligence side like error grouping is useful, avoids getting spammed with same issues again and again, not using heavy AI features but whatever is there does the job.

what I don’t like much is the UI widgets, they feel a bit confusing and not very consistent, sometimes hard to quickly understand what I’m looking at. also auto refresh doesn’t work properly many times, I still have to manually refresh to see latest errors which is annoying. and sometimes issue grouping is not accurate, same type of errors show up as separate issues which makes things a bit messy to track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Sentry is its real-time error monitoring and the depth of its debugging insights. It automatically captures exceptions, stack traces, and performance issues, which makes it much easier to pinpoint the root cause of problems without spending hours manually digging through logs.

A feature I rely on often is the error grouping and alerting system. It helps me prioritize critical issues and cuts down on noise from duplicate errors. This has noticeably improved our workflow by keeping the focus on high-impact fixes, resolving problems faster, and minimizing application downtime.

Another benefit I didn’t expect at first is Sentry’s performance monitoring. In addition to error tracking, it gives clear visibility into slow transactions and bottlenecks, which helps improve overall application performance and the user experience. Overall, Sentry has reduced troubleshooting time, strengthened incident response, and increased my confidence in the reliability of our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Sentry is a powerful monitoring tool, one drawback is that the sheer volume of alerts can sometimes become overwhelming, especially in large applications with frequent events. It often takes time to fine-tune alert rules and issue grouping so you can cut down on noise and stay focused on the most important problems.

Another area that could be improved is the learning curve around some advanced features, such as performance monitoring, custom dashboards, and more complex alert configurations. New users may need extra time to fully understand these options and use them effectively.

Additionally, investigating issues across multiple projects can occasionally feel cumbersome, and some advanced features are only available in higher-tier plans. Even with these limitations, the benefits of faster error detection and troubleshooting still outweigh the challenges for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sentry allows us to (for the most part) centralize all our diagnostic data in a single place. We depend heavily on AWS infrastructure and services, and migrating away from Cloudwatch has truly been an illuminating experience on how much of a non-product that is when it comes to observability.

While our adoption is still in the early stages, the biggest issue we’ve run into so far is the lack of OpenTelemetry Metrics support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
