"A monitoring system that can show us code level details."
"Dynatrace helped us with root cause analysis of poor performing components of our applications."
"Dynatrace has great training available. It is easy for everybody to use. Anybody can go out to YouTube, watch a video, and figure out how to use the piece that they need."
"I can get everything on a single page."
"The User experience monitor is a real added value."
"I am primarily doing DC RUM, so on that side there are a lot of awesome abilities where people who can't implement an agent are able to still monitor a lot of their apps and decodes."
"It collects and analyses information with AI, which is useful."
"They have quick answers for scalability."
"The product performs well."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"One of the new features is "impacted users." I would like to see a rate of impacted users. For example, how long has the problem been going on: 100 users in five minutes. Does that mean that in 3 hours if we don't get this solved, we're impacting x number of people? Understanding the rate at which the problem is impacting people would be a cool feature."
"We found it was quite challenging in terms of the learning curve."
"A useful addition for known issues would be the ability to automatically perform certain activities as a first attempt to resolve issues which are creating a problem."
"There are a lot of features that could be added that would make this a very useful solution, but it is getting there."
"We had one issue when we tried to enter one agent and it just does not work. We got to work with the highest level of support, but it took a while to get there."
"Dynatrace has APIs, but they are unfriendly APIs. If they were friendly like Splunk or Sumo Logic had, we might integrate that same data on a single webpage, then start showing these internally."
"Cloud monitoring and reporting need improvement, as well as how to manipulate data and export it to share with business executives."
"I would like to see the same features as in the New Relic Insights in the dashboard. That is the only thing I want to see improved in Dynatrace."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"The price could be lowered."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
