PB
Offers Misra and Autosar compliance through static and abstract code analysis, but the reports could be cleaner
One of the issues we have is commenting. When something is not a defect in the code, for an example. Adding a comment for that line, or if the comment has two or three lines, it can be difficult. Simulating a real-time operating system and firmware can be quite difficult if you're doing multiple threading in different entry points. If you're not using the same macros for critical sections, it can also be a little bit tedious to get around. I would like to see better command-line tools that we can interface it with. We would like to see support for a continuous integration build environment. The reports in this solution could be made cleaner.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution helps new developers get up to speed with the Autosar, Misra C and C++ standards quickly."
"This solution has improved our adherence to coding standards."
"Overall, I give Sentry a rating of 10."
"Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The implementation is easy. After one or two days, I can learn and use it. It's not too hard."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"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."
 

Cons

"Simulating a real-time operating system and firmware can be quite difficult if you're doing multiple threading in different entry points."
"I would like to see support for annotating "Not a bug" in the source code."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"Additional personalization and easier setup for capturing all the different application logs could be an area of improvement."
"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."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"I have not worked with Sentry long enough to provide advice for improvements. I need more experience and time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is not an expensive solution for what it offers, as there are other tools that are significantly more expensive."
"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."
"We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
