Monitoring microservices has become streamlined and custom dashboards provide clear bug insights
I cannot think of something specific regarding improvements for Groundcover Observability Platform as it is quite effective, especially compared to my previous experience with a Rapid7 platform, which was considerably worse. I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement.

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

"We switched to Groundcover Observability Platform primarily because of the difficult query syntax in our previous solution, and we chose Groundcover for their business model as they don't charge based on log storage, they provide the infrastructure, and from a security perspective, the data stays in-house, which wasn't the case with our previous tool."
"Groundcover Observability Platform has impacted my organization positively as it is the primary way we use observability in our company, so it has a significant impact."
"Groundcover Observability Platform scales effectively with our organization's growth as we add new environments and everything works great, and the migration from our old product went very smoothly, allowing us to deprecate it rather quickly."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"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 most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Overall, I give Sentry a rating of 10."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Sentry provides excellent security when it comes to tables and databases."
"The solution is user-friendly, and this is very valuable."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
 

Cons

"I think it would be beneficial to see the body and content of API calls in the traces as a possible improvement."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of Groundcover Observability Platform as an eight out of ten; while I haven't experienced issues personally, I am aware they occasionally encounter some challenges."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"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."
"Sentry is more like an application mind trying APM platforms as opposed to also tracking analytics and things like that."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"We cannot restrict particular columns on particular data. It would be helpful if that feature was improved."
"I would like to see the ability to customize events and get more metrics for these customized events."
"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."
