Sentry has been a default backend error tracker for years

We didn't have to configure and support anything for error tracking and alerting, Sentry is really a one-click solution

PROS

- Very easy to integrate with python projects - Nice UI, trace page has all the context, you may potentially need to debug - Can post exceptions right into Slack

CONS

No cons so far. I think I was confused by the UI navigation a few time, but I was able to figure everything out by myself eventually.

When something goes wrong, you'll see exactly what and why

Sentry allows me to catch bugs in the live environment and captures all of the relevant information that led to them.

PROS

Easy to set up Lots of details about each error Ability to quickly ignore, postpone, assign errors

CONS

A little bit hard to search through the resolved issues Emails about new errors sometimes go to spam, with multiple emails providers

Reasons for switching to Sentry

Raygun.io was a bit too expensive, and I was still limited in the number of projects I could track. Sentry removes this limit for far less, and even slightly beats Raygun featurewise.

Great App logging service but with a cost

I do like the UI and the events logging integration but the crash detection is not one of the best and the SDK integration wasn't that easy.

PROS

The way it displays error loggings and how easy is to query and filter for types of events

CONS

The SDK integration wasn't easy. We had crashes and performances problem due to the Sentry SDK

Reason for choosing Sentry

For the error logging feature which not everyone includes.

Sentry Experience

The experience was very good . I Have used it in many apps. A must try tool for error and performance montioring.

PROS

1. Easy to setup in projects like flutter , nodejs , strapi. 2. See related data in one place like issues or performance issue. 3. Details info for an issue . It's easy to identify the bug. 4. extra info like crash free session and releases are very helpful. 5. Docs are easy to find and well organised.

CONS

1. Need a bit of knowledge of error reporting to work 2. Some kind of tutorial video or detailed blogs are needed to use. 3. The team plan is very pricy 26$ per month. 4. No benefit for student or startups.

Reasons for switching to Sentry

Sentry can be easily implemented with strapi and we need to configure firebase for firebase crashlytics.

Easy to configure Backend alerts for your production environment

Overall experience was really good with production alerts being fired anytime there was an exception or an outage on the backend server.

PROS

Sentry can be easily integrated with your platform for generating email alerts for any issues on production backend server. Be it an exception on the server or the outage, sentry will send an alert to your email and once you login to the dashboard, you can easily see the stack trace for the error which occurred on the server along with the frequency of occurring error. Sentry integration is available for different programming languages.

CONS

Setting it up with your backend server for the first time can take some time. Also we faced some issues with integrating the HTTPS sentry link with Node.js. Other than that, its a great tool in helping you keeping your production environment available 24/7.

A Great Application Monitoring Solution

Sentry has given us vital information that we have not been able to source from other application monitoring software. This in turn allows us to diagnose issues faster and get work on solving issues rather than working out what the problem is.

PROS

Sentry is used as one our our application monitoring solutions and we use it to stay on to of regression, bugs, and core web vitals. It not only tracks these issues but gives us the information to troubleshoot them

CONS

There can be a lot of information to digest when diagnosing an issue so it can take time to become familiar with the UI

Keeps our developers informed about the errors

PROS

One of the best parts is the easy installation of the app, there is almost nothing to do and worked with every integration, front- and back-end. Also, the interface is easy to use.

CONS

Blocking of events that you don't want to measure is a bit harder as we thought it would be. Sometimes it happens that we reached the maximum limit, but after sending an email to support they did reset our rate limit.

A great tool for gathering JS errors from remote users

Sentry did half the work of the QA department.

PROS

Great, great, great! I have used this tool for a long time and it helped identify hundreds of errors and feed them to the QA department. A great tool for any Javasvcript-heavy website or web app.

CONS

Absolutely nothing, it helped a lot with user generated errors.

Error Tracking and Reporting with ease

It has been an indispensable tool for many of the projects I was involved in. I was tasked with setting up the Sentry accounts for some projects and I found it easy to do so without having to read a lot of docs.

PROS

1- You can use it on both frontend and backend to track errors. 2- It collects many metadata about each error event, which makes it easier to debug the error in question. 3- It allows uploading of source maps so you can see where the errors are happening in the code you write rather than the minified released versions. 4- It's secure and has default masking for sensitive data (but you must make sure you are not sending sensitive info in the errors) 5- It has a generous free tier 6- It's easy to set up and deploy with client libraries for almost any framework you use. 7- All events data is downloadable up to 3 months after they are created.

CONS

1- Grouping of issue events is a bit strange sometimes if you don't write your own error handlers. 2- Documentation can be outdated sometimes.

Reason for choosing Sentry

Our first project was built with React Native Expo, which supported Sentry out of the box, so we decided to go with it.

Stay ahead of system errors

We set sentry up for all the software we develop. It has helped us greatly to always know when an application crashes so that we begin working on fixes. We loved sentry because it's easy to setup and use. We set it up once and run for the software lifespan. It shows a lot of information in a non-overwhelming way

PROS

The interface is so easy to use, it's almost natural for me. It sends notifications to my e-mail and often when I click view on sentry I don't need to re-login it just takes me where I need to go Version Control integration which make it easier to resolve issues when making a commit

CONS

When an issues occurs multiple times I want to view breadcrumbs for multiple cases at once but this option isn't there and if an issue occurs thousands of times this is a challenge I can seem to find resolved issues to review them for whatever reason, at least if resolved issues were accessible for some time this would be great, or if this is already there making it easy would be great

The best way to monitor applications & websites for issues

Sentry is used within almost all of our applications, whether they're run by ourselves or our customers. It provides amazing peace-of-mind because I can rely on Sentry to report any issues & also keep logs & error reports handy for further investigation of such issues. We've never regretted using Sentry and are very likely to not consider moving to another platform anytime soon.

PROS

Sentry is the best way to monitor your websites / applications for issues. It supports virtually every programming language, runs on every system, is easily set up and maintained and is really easy to use.

CONS

Sentry in the cloud can be a little pricey for smalle projects & developers but there is a self-hosted plan of the app which can be set up on your own servers, so really even pricing-issues are pretty much non-issues for us and, I'd imagine, most potential users.

Instant issue notifications to the entire team with visual reports, issue timelines, assignees

PROS

Anyone on the team can subscribe to get instantly notified about the issues; multiple projects supported in the same dashboard (in my team we use separate projects for different types of environments). Automatic weekly and monthly reports are simple but informative. Gitlab integration is available. I also really like visibility into team members who have already seen the issue. Issue search filter is very detailed as well. Open source and cloud versions are available so any team's needs can be met.

CONS

Since all screens are minimalistic, they all look the same at a first glance, perhaps some color or header accents would be nice, also some sort of labelling for more customized filtering could come in handy. As a PM I think I am more picky about things like that than developers on my team though. Overall this is a good product.

A must-have in our tool kit

PROS

Sentry has helped us track down countless, countless bugs in our platform before they could have been reported by our users. Thanks to their platform we are instantly made aware when someone has an issue on our API, dashboard, or one of our worker bots fails for an unforeseen reason.

CONS

Sometimes a bug occurs that impacts a lot of users / traffic. Especially if you use an API. This can in some cases prevent other errors in other projects from showing up. Simple fix, just don't get any errors ;)

A guardian for your projects

Sentry is a my first alternative to finding bugs in software due to easy setup and usability.

PROS

Sentry is simple to use and gives a good overview of bugs and errors in projects. It will immediately alert you, which is important in time critical projects.

CONS

It is somewhat difficult to configure alerts and alert content to your custom needs. It will bloat your email inbox if you are many persons working on the same project.

PROS

We use Sentry for our website and app alert handling. They have excellent docs to get set up and integrated across a variety of languages, web, and app frameworks. Getting alerts piped into Slack and Pagerduty was super simple.

CONS

Small nit, but wish they made it easier to get full stacktraces from mixed environments, like React Native! Would be nice to get both native and JS traces in both iOS and Android.

Works brilliantly. Sentry focuses on one thing, that is just great.

Easily handling incoming issues and keep track of which problems are prevalent.

PROS

Very easy to capture issues for users, and extremely versatile in how to act on these. The biggest strength of Sentry is that it is so well designed for the downstream handling of issues. The ability to ignore issues until they hit a certain number of users as an example.

CONS

It's a bit hard to figure out how they group events. But I think it is also hard to simplify. And then you cannot turn off email notifications for re-opening issues. But it's minor things.

Sentry is awesome

I'm a very satisfied user.

PROS

Sentry SDK Integrates well with my code (written in Python, uses Django web framework). Alert emails are timely and contain enough information for me to understand the severity of the issue without opening the Sentry dashboard. Sentry captures enough contextual information about the exception (traceback, SQL queries, HTTP request, HTTP headers, form data, local variable values), I can usually understand what the problem is without any additional debugging.

CONS

Sentry has a ton of features, and is adding more features all the time. The features and UI elements that I don't use feel like a clutter. At the same time, I'm sure they are useful to other people.

Great error tracking service, essencial for any software application running 24/7.

PROS

In the Sentry dashboard, we can create and save custom filters that are helpful to use, mainly after a deployment in order to find any errors in our application. The integration is easy, with API clients available in many programming languages.

CONS

API clients don't support asynchronous communication, you need to implement it by yourself. Besides, it is possible define fingerprints to track issues, but it is not possible to filter the issues by fingerprints.
