"Sentry helped track release quality in a proactive manner, rather than reactive to user issues"
What do you like best about Sentry?

Error traces which help in identifying the piece of code that needs attention. We used it to track crashes in the application this way.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Visual reports could be more to showcase crash rates.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Crash rates of the application after every release were being tracked. Alerts were setup to proactively ping us for a particular error occurrence.

It's simplistic UI through which we can easily track errors and check if there is any performance delay

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Sometimes it takes some time to find the log which is causing the error

"Know what's happen in production: react quickly"
What do you like best about Sentry?

Very simple and understandable view of issues that are happening in production.] It integrates very well with other tools, like Jira or github.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Though Sentry is focus in error logging and it does an excellent job doing so, some extra login and monitoring add-ons would be very helpful. Some configurations, like source-maps, can get tricky if your use case is not the standard.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quickly reacting to issues happening in production that affects our users.

"Great App with Open source and hosted options"
What do you like best about Sentry?

It's open source, robust, and built by a great team. I've been using it since it was launched as an open source project

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Sometimes it's hard to replicate the exact error but that's the nature of these tools.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to gain insight into all backend and frontend errors to solve the problems as soon as possible.

"Great for production bug monitoring"
What do you like best about Sentry?

Sentry provides the right level of detail necessary when users experience issues in global applications. It eliminates the time gap it takes to dig through log files to root cause specific stack traces.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

The manual installation procedure was a little bumpy. Email notifications are sometimes overwhelming and bothersome (you have the ability to mute these though).

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bug tracking across multiple languages in several regions. Sometimes it's easiest to let users be your QA testers to find every last little glitch.

"Sentry Review "
What do you like best about Sentry?

I like that I am able to see when a website user is experiencing a problem right away. I also like that I can hook sentry up to slack so that I can become instantly notified of a problem.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

I don't like that the free version has limited capabilities, making you purchase the paid version. The free version, for example, doesn't always show the errors in order. There may be errors that are 4 months old showing up on the most recent page.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the business problem of customer satisfaction. We can instantly know when a user is having a problem accessing a page and can fix it immediately.

"Best error monitoring sollution"
What do you like best about Sentry?

Sentry has libraries for lots of different languages and frameworks that makes it easy to integrate. Great search tool combined together with tags allows you quickly to find users who expect problems.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Support could be better. We got problems that errors from rails are appearing twice, and we didnt get any help from the support team.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its very important for use to deliver an error-free service to our users. Sentry allows us to get and solve problems before our users report them.With Sentry we can now be sure that our website and mobile apps are working without any problems. And as soon as they happen we can be sure that we will know it before our users.

"Your go-to tool for getting errors from your application."
What do you like best about Sentry?

Sentry has libraries and plugins for pretty much all languages and framework that are common. There is a very high chance that there is a very good integration of sentry's library with the environment you are currently using. With the latest version, it's interface makes it very easy to have a global view and details output of errors and exception your applications generated. It's also very nice to be able to see a trend of bugs and errors over time when a new version of your software is released. Also Slack integration is a must and Sentry does it very well.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

The setup process isn't super simple. It would be nice if the software were to be packaged (rpm, deb...) so upgrades would be easier and it wouldn't "pollute" the server it's installed on. I've ran into some issues with the installation process that could have been dealt with if there was better documentation or simply more automation in the installation process. While the Slack integration is a great feature, it would be nice to be able to filter projects to different channels.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting to know what errors are raised in an application with better debugging information without having to rely on adding more logging manually or having to rely on running the application in debug mode.

"Sentry Review"
What do you like best about Sentry?

I like that it catches bugs from our users workflow and sends them to us.

What do you dislike about Sentry?

Some of these bugs are things that we can't help or fix. Sometimes they're hard to digest. This area could be improved.

What problems is Sentry solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're using it to identify app breaking bugs are release days and determining outages before they're reported.
