Arunpandiyan M - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, simple to set up and easy to configure
The dashboard needs to improve. It's not so clear right now. We need it to be more usable. We want all of our reports in one easy-to-access place. Sometimes we get stuck and have to rest the gateway. After we do that, it'll start working again. We're still new to the product and we're not using every aspect of it.
Abdullah Baig - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use solution that has a good dashboard, performs well, and provides flexible pricing
Sentry was easy to learn compared to New Relic and Azure Monitor. I saw some valuable input. It took us the least amount of time to see how Sentry is valuable. It took just a few minutes. Session Replay provides a replay of the recorded errors. It is a good feature. Azure Monitor does not have this feature. The error reporting is straightforward. We can see everything that we need to see. The dashboard seems pretty fine. The product performs well. We can see the user's IP addresses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Overall, I give Sentry a rating of 10."
"I would rate the stability of Sentry as eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The product performs well."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
 

Cons

"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"I have not worked with Sentry long enough to provide advice for improvements. I need more experience and time."
"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."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
