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.

"This solution has improved our adherence to coding standards."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"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."
"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."

"The stability is very good for Sentry and in general works well."
 

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 would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"Lacks user metric tracking and the ability to create more dashboards."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"I have not worked with Sentry long enough to provide advice for improvements. I need more experience and time."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"The price could be lowered."
 

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 are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
"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."
"We can adjust the price a little bit based on our needs."
"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
