Devansh Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlining project management by facilitating issue tracking, collaboration, and transparency, allowing users to categorize, assign, and discuss tasks efficiently
In terms of scalability, we can include as many Issues as needed without encountering any apparent limits. Based on my observations from various open-source projects, even those with hundreds or thousands of Issues, there don't seem to be significant problems. There are around twenty to twenty-five members in the prototype.
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.
