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.

"I have not worked with Sentry long enough to provide advice for improvements. I need more experience and time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
