The biggest return on investment with Honeycomb Enterprise is being able to find, if I am doing production support and something goes wrong, the exact scenario or the exact request and response and the details of that really quickly.

When I was looking at Honeycomb Enterprise support with Go Lambdas, it was a little tricky to find someone who could help me answer the question.
Software Engineer at a non-tech company with 501-1,000 employees

Lead Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Honeycomb Enterprise scales best when all the products in the company use it because it allows tracing outside of individual products to see how they interact.
Software Engineer at a non-tech company with 501-1,000 employees
That is being used for at least eight thousand hosts.
Lead Engineer at Qualys
It has been easy to use and configure across multiple systems, each having several environments.

Room For Improvement

Users request better documentation, pricing, AI features, a streamlined UI, tool integration, and improved microservices support for Honeycomb Enterprise.
Users seek Sentry improvements in integrations, analytics, customization, interface, debugging, personalization, mapping, documentation, and cloud capabilities.
Rather, it must be treated as a powerful supplementary tool that augments the existing code security solutions (such as Snyk or Checkmarx) in a DevSecOps or Secure DevOps environment.
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
The main thing is that I think everything should very hard aim for the direction of being AI compatible because every engineer, or most engineers now use AI to code.
Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
That is what performance engineers and SREs need to see for each request, where it spent the entire time; how many other services or databases it interacted with and what took more or less time.
Lead Engineer at Qualys
Integrations or single sign-on capability with Microsoft would be beneficial for securing all assets.
Founding Member at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
 

Setup Cost

Sentry offers flexible, cost-effective pricing with easy plan transitions and customizable options for enterprise users.
In terms of pricing, it was a little challenging to get the company to commit to the full pricing of Enterprise, but once we got there it was nice.
Software Engineer at a non-tech company with 501-1,000 employees
Compared to New Relic, it provides the necessary features at a cheaper cost, especially since we moved infrastructure monitoring to Azure.

Valuable Features

Honeycomb Enterprise excels in real-time monitoring, scalability, and cost-effective observability, enhancing service management and streamlining operations.
Sentry provides robust error management, performance monitoring, and seamless integration with platforms, enhancing developer collaboration and application efficiency.
We get alerts into Slack, and they work great. We see a lot of metrics go through into Slack, and they are really useful for keeping our team focused on only seeing one place to see alerts.
Software Engineer at Invevo
The most valuable feature of Honeycomb Enterprise for me is the root cause analysis part because it helps me greatly with the response messages and derived error messages which are very clearly mentioned in Honeycomb Enterprise logs.
Customer Support Engineer at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Automated pull requests streamline the remediation process, facilitating efficient mass updates across multiple repositories.
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
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.
Founding Member at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
At this time, I focus on finding and fixing bugs.
React Developer at Rayvarz Software Engineering Company
Sentry provides real-time error tracking which is invaluable for identifying and resolving issues quickly.

Featured Reviews

MukeshSharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Engineer at Qualys
Tracing microservices has exposed gaps in visibility but has provided high-cardinality insights
I have used better tools, I would say. I would not say that I prefer Honeycomb Enterprise as much. I have used Dynatrace, and I found it more comprehensive, and AppDynamics and other tools. These tools can also provide good information, but I find other tools better. Most of the products, I would say, such as Dynatrace or AppDynamics or New Relic, are targeting this microservices market. I think Honeycomb Enterprise can have something very dedicated for microservices because there is an explosion in the migration from monolithic to microservices. If Honeycomb Enterprise can create a stable solution which is easy to use and which gives additional value and helps for faster debugging with microservices, they can certainly gain market share from others. Tracing is already there. I just wish that these tools are a bit less cryptic. These tools sometimes get quite cryptic for new users. The less cryptic they can be made, that can help these tools. Another thing is that for microservices, when you have multiple microservices installed, that is also required. There are tools where you install on a single microservice, but then these microservices interact with multiple microservices. That kind of picture, I have seen that in AppDynamics; they do give a picture showing that a particular request which arrived here had interaction with these other third-party services or microservices and databases. That is what we need. That is what performance engineers and SREs need to see for each request, where it spent the entire time; how many other services or databases it interacted with and what took more or less time, and if there is a sequence, it should highlight that also. Was it parallel or if, for instance, a call to service A and then a call was made to a database, or a call to service A and a database were in parallel, that kind of information.

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.
