"Great UI layout and rich Logging Capabilities"
5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I like that Sentry's UI is fast and presents a lot of the information clearly and efficiently. The filtering is good and allows us to have logs across all three environments with easy switching between them. The screen layout is efficient, which helps individuals, whether they're a developer or engineer, find the information they need to resolve issues. Additionally, I found the setup process to be really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I would ideally like the Lambda logging to include individual requests. At the moment, you can only capture top-level boto3 invocations, where we would move all of our current observability over if we could have more granular control over the request response payloads.

"Instant Alerts, Easy Setup, Needs Tracing Improvements"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I really appreciate how easy Sentry is to set up right out of the box. It's been straightforward from the beginning, reducing friction to get started. I also like how active they are in adding features. We were early adopters of the logging features, which was especially helpful in bridging gaps in understanding weird behaviors on our devices. It helps us gain visibility and get alerted immediately to any erroneous activities, and allows us to track the performance of the devices, which helps us compare and contrast different device models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I think their tracing feature lacks some functionalities. For example, it was having random issues and unpredictable on how it was working, I couldn't set up sub spans properly. Yes, make it more feature rich, allow us to have sub spans. Make it easier to hook onto span lifecycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Monitoring with Sentry and Easy Integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I like how easy Sentry is to use and all the integrations it offers, especially with Slack and MCP, which really make identifying errors and assigning them to the right people effortless. The out-of-the-box deep integration and instrumentation with many langauges is great because I can easily add it in and it works perfectly (no need to manually instrument). I also appreciate the smooth integration with PagerDuty, as it ensures we get alerted for important issues. Additionally, working with our AI models, the MCP helps us quickly locate and address bugs. The initial setup was really easy too; getting into the code base and logging events was a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I think the tracing is a little bit hard to use sometimes. It's a little bit difficult to use the trace viewer compared to something like New Relic, where it's easier to see where the bottlenecks are (ie. DB and distributed tracing).in the the LLM instrumentation, there was a little bit of memory leaks that we noticed inside the Sentry library. It was open source, so we fixed that up ourselves.

"Seamless Integration and Real-Time Bug Tracking"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I really like Sentry's Slack integration because it helps me get real-time notifications of new issues without having to constantly check the Sentry website. Also, the logs are good for tracking deep inside, especially when a bug appears on a client device. They come in very handy for checking API calls or pages visited around the time of the issue. The seamless integration and ease of use were reasons my team switched to Sentry from Datadog. The initial setup was also very easy with the documentation provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I have one suggestion in logs, as when the response of any API is long, it gets truncated. There could be an option to allow users to download the whole response without truncation in JSON format for in-depth analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detailed Error Monitoring, Cumbersome Setup"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I really appreciate Sentry's super detailed traces and the information about errors, which are extremely helpful. The error grouping in the 'issues' tab makes it easy to see how often an issue is occurring across our stack and provides all the possible information needed to understand what's happening. I also love how it's connected to Claude Code, allowing the agent to pull all the relevant information and look through the logs for me. This connection is beneficial because debugging would take me 10-20x longer without Claude's help, as it efficiently searches through all of our traces and logs to find patterns in usage and errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

The logs don't have very good advanced filtering on the UI based on attribute, also there isn't a good API connection to pull the logs from projects. I sometimes have to use MCP with Claude, but the data received isn't always well-organized, leading to confusion. Also, the pricing model/rate limiting is an issue. My bills were extremely high unexpectedly, and I couldn't see the logs I needed until the quota reset. More documentation and advice on minimizing unexpected costs would be helpful. The initial setup was pretty complex and overwhelming, taking me 40 hours to really grasp it, and I still feel I'm not using it to its full capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Visibility and Error Detection Excellent, Interface Improvable"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I use Sentry for visibility, traceability, and error detection in my web app. It helps me detect errors before my customers report them, which is useful because there are errors that don't create enough friction for customers to report them. I appreciate that it helps me document my errors thanks to its traces and its connection via MCP, which allows me to analyze bugs with the help of AI agents. I like the replays, as they have helped us gain visibility into errors we didn't know existed and that were never reported by customers. Additionally, I find that the initial setup of Sentry was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I would like it to have a more user-friendly interface for my customer support staff, as they find it very technical. They have said: 'I can't or don't know how to search for a replay related to a bug reported by a user.' I feel it would be useful for them to group replays by user with their logs and traces, or if this is already done, to make it easier for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Interface, Needs Logging Improvements"
4/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I like the UI and the UX of the Sentry web app, as it's really nice and modern. It's also quite easy to work with the SDK, which makes integrating and using Sentry straightforward. I’ve used their Discord channel a number of times to reach out to the community for help with issues, and I always get a quick response from Sentry employees there. So I definitely recommend Discord for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

There were some issues with the logging side of Sentry when we first set it up with the OTLP log drain. We raised the problems in their Discord channel, and while Sentry team members said they had fixed them, I believe we're still experiencing some issues when trying to filter using the filter bar for certain properties in the log messages. It doesn't find the property, so you have to manually expand a log message and go through additional steps to add it to the filter. I've thought this issue would have been fixed by now as it's been quite a number of months. Also, the auto refresh on the logs seems quite slow and not really as smooth as I’d expect. It sometimes stops, and I've got to refresh the page myself. I've stopped using it as often because of this and tend to manually click refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Sentry Integration with Real-Time Insights and Clear Stack Traces"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

What I like most about Sentry is how easy it was to integrate into our frontend and how quickly we were able to start getting meaningful insights. As a frontend engineer, the real-time error tracking has been especially helpful for debugging issues fast, since it provides clear stack traces along with useful user context. I also appreciate how seamlessly it connects with tools like Slack, which makes it easier to stay on top of new errors as they come in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

One thing I dislike about Sentry is the amount of duplicate or noisy events it can generate. As a frontend engineer, this becomes frustrating because it clutters the dashboard and makes it harder to quickly identify real issues.

It also has a direct impact on cost—since Sentry’s pricing is largely based on event volume, even duplicate or low-value errors can consume your quota and increase billing if you go beyond limits . So without careful filtering on the frontend, you can end up paying for noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential for Bug Monitoring, Needs Visual Enhancements"
5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I love the attribute tagging and use Sentry a lot for observability and metrics. I'm able to quickly respond to bugs because of the really helpful trace data. Using attributes to strongly type our logs makes searching through our multi-tenant platform very easy. I also find it great how Sentry integrates with other apps, like Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I really want more visualization tools. I have all these logs but limited ways to show a narrative. From memory, I can only group by a certain amount before the unique groups get clumped together. Because security alert data volume is really important, it means I must leverage different tools to get this data over a time series. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Error Tracking with Exceptional UI"
5/5
What do you like best about Sentry?

I use Sentry for logging, profiling, and error detection. One major advantage is that it allows us to find and resolve errors much faster, often before customers even notice them. Sentry's logging setup is particularly easy compared to other solutions, which tend to be more difficult and confusing. I like how Sentry's documentation is comprehensive and covers everything I need. This made it easy for me to set up logging and tracing across about 10 micro-services in just two days. The platform itself is intuitive to navigate. I love the unique and fun UI of Sentry. The error tracking is valuable because it provides the complete stack trace, which simplifies problem solving. Additionally, the logging is nearly real-time with only a one-minute delay, which I find impressive. The initial setup was smooth, akin to spreading butter, making the entire adoption seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

They have a strict un-changeable 30 day retention period for logs. I would very much like for it to be customizable even if it costs extra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
