Sentry has been a default backend error tracker for years

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: 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.

Great App logging service but with a cost

4.0 last year

Comments: 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

Sentry Experience

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: 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.

Easy to configure Backend alerts for your production environment

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: 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.
