Both Akamai mPulse and Sentry serve as essential monitoring tools with distinct advantages. Users report higher satisfaction with Akamai mPulse's features but find Sentry easier to deploy with better customer service.
Features: Akamai mPulse offers real-time analytics, comprehensive visualizations, and detailed performance insights. Sentry provides robust error tracking, insightful release performance monitoring, and thorough bug diagnostics.
Room for Improvement: Akamai mPulse could enhance its integration capabilities, improve user training resources, and streamline its user interface. Sentry needs better workflow automation, more detailed documentation, and advanced reporting features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Akamai mPulse's deployment can be complex, though it is backed by dedicated customer support. Sentry is noted for its easy deployment process and efficient customer service.
Pricing and ROI: Akamai mPulse has higher setup costs but offers favorable ROI due to its comprehensive data insights. Sentry presents a cost-effective setup with high ROI from improved error resolution time.
Akamai mPulse is a real user monitoring (RUM) solution that gives performance engineers, administrators, and developers the ability to effortlessly visualize website functionality issues and identify ways to improve processes that conventional testing protocols do not find. mPulse gives users usable scenarios to better understand how processes such as user interactions, visual progress, and third-party resources may be disrupting the overall user experience and application delivery.
mPulse enables users to take a deep dive into the specific performance issues and complete comprehensive error analyses, to thoroughly understand the effect on critical user interactions such as conversions, page views, and more.
mPulse gathers and delivers data on an organization's website’s performance and metrics on user web browsing experiences. The mPulse feature “Boomerang” is a JavaScript Library that monitors the website page load time. Boomerang has a unique plugin architecture and works with all websites. The Boomerang feature is embedded on each page of an organization's website.
mPulse works seamlessly with Akamai solution Ion, so the RUM data can be instantly gathered once the Luna Control Center has been activated. Ion instantly attaches Boomerang to the organization’s web properties; there is no need to change the website code.
Akamai mPulse Benefits
Sentry is a tool for monitoring web and application performance, tracking errors, processing request times, and managing user data access.
Developers integrate Sentry with web and application environments to capture front-end and back-end errors, utilize error logs, trace requests, and observe metrics without real-time production access. Sentry's use extends to monitoring internal applications, leveraging CyberArk PAM integration, deploying notifications, and detecting silent failures. Users benefit from detailed error and performance reports, contextual cause-stack information, and real-time breakdowns. There is room for improvement, as users desire refined integration and administrative settings, enhanced alert policies, and more customization in event metrics.
What are Sentry's most important features?Sentry is implemented across industries ranging from tech startups to large enterprises. These organizations use Sentry to enhance application reliability, track performance, and secure user data within protected environments. Integration with CyberArk PAM ensures secure deployment. Organizations find Sentry useful for monitoring internal applications, efficiently processing request times, and tracing changes in production without direct access.
