We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Sentry based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: After analyzing user feedback, it can be concluded that Azure Monitor is the preferred choice when compared to Sentry. Azure Monitor stands out due to its extensive range of features, such as integration with Visual Studio, Power BI, and additional Azure services. The ease of setup, stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are also highly appreciated. Although Sentry is acknowledged for its accuracy and compatibility with multiple tools, Azure Monitor offers a more comprehensive and adaptable solution for monitoring and resolving issues with cloud resources.
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Azure Monitor gives us the observability to check everything that we have in the cloud."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Technical support is helpful."
"A product that is well-integrated for monitoring Microsoft Azure."
"The solution works well overall. It's easy to implement and simple to use."
"Log analytics and log queries are the most valuable features of Azure Monitor."
"You can scale the product."

"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"Setting up this solution is complex. It's also missing the functionality of assigning alerts."
"In my opinion, they should improve the overall user experience, especially when it comes to indexing and searching collective logs."
"Azure Monitor is not user-friendly, and the interface is not exciting. Switching between the dashboards is not easy."
"There are a lot of things that take more time to do, such as charting, alerting, and correlation of data, and things like that. Azure Monitor doesn't tell you why something happened. It just tells you that it happened. It should also have some type of AI. Environments and applications are becoming more and more complex every day with hundreds or thousands of microservices. Therefore, having to do a lot of the stuff manually takes a lot of time, and on top of that, troubleshooting issues takes a lot of time. The traditional method of troubleshooting doesn't really work for or apply to this environment we're in. So, having an AI-based system and the ability to automate deployments of your monitoring and configurations makes it much easier."
"The default interface should be improved."
"It's really complex to retrieve or query the logs in Azure Monitor."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"The price could be lowered."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
