Real-time error tracking assists the QA team in swiftly identifying and reporting bugs
One of the greatest advantages of Sentry is its support for Azure Web Services, which New Relic does not support. Sentry integrates with common developer communication platforms like Discord and WhatsApp, which allows developers to easily track notifications and findings in the applications. Real-time error tracking helps our Quality Assurance team easily identify the root causes of problems or bugs and promptly inform the developers about specific issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From a testing standpoint, ignoring license and cost issues, it's not a bad product."
"This tool has great scaling capabilities, i.e., no limitations."
"Sentry provides excellent security when it comes to tables and databases."
"We find the feature of cause-stack information integrated with the Git repository valuable, which provides contextual information."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"Tracking error logs is a great feature because Sentry provides a rich context with regards to the code and tracing issues across the entire stack with trace logs and things like that."
"The solution is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"My concern is with Automation integration."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"While using Sentry I have to manually create an issue when it occurs by clicking in Jira or GitLab."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"I have not worked with Sentry long enough to provide advice for improvements. I need more experience and time."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"One area where I think Sentry can improve is in the granularity of its alerting system, as it sometimes feels too sensitive or not customizable enough."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
