Integrated issue tracking has improved collaboration and streamlined my project workflows
I use the labeling feature in GitHub Issues. Regarding task prioritization, I think integration with code repositories in GitHub Issues is easy to manage. In my opinion, the ability to assign issues to specific team members is a good function, and I think it simplifies collaboration. I utilize the Insights tab in GitHub Issues, and I can provide feedback about that option. Based on my experience, GitHub Issues provides main benefits, such as saving time, saving money, and streamlining processes for me and my company.

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

"It enables mapping issues to specific team members, making it a valuable feature."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Sentry's performance monitoring has helped us understand where the bottlenecks are in our application and allowed us to optimize critical transactions for a faster user experience."
"Sentry's performance monitoring has helped us understand where the bottlenecks are in our application and allowed us to optimize critical transactions for a faster user experience."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."

Cons

"The challenge lies in the initial setup and the difficulty of adding new Issues."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"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."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open source."
"We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
"We can adjust the price a little bit based on our needs."
"Currently, we are in the production phase of our project and we are on free plans to use Sentry. Once we go live we will have to be on a subscription-based plan."
"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
