We performed a comparison between Azure Monitor and Sentry based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: After analyzing user feedback, it can be concluded that Azure Monitor is the preferred choice when compared to Sentry. Azure Monitor stands out due to its extensive range of features, such as integration with Visual Studio, Power BI, and additional Azure services. The ease of setup, stability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are also highly appreciated. Although Sentry is acknowledged for its accuracy and compatibility with multiple tools, Azure Monitor offers a more comprehensive and adaptable solution for monitoring and resolving issues with cloud resources.

"have used multiple products like Webex and PRTG. Some features could be added. Azure Monitor should add SMS and APIs. We have very limited access to Azure Monitor. I usually get alerts on my phone when they are integrated with Slack. I am not always available, but my team is. Sometimes, I am traveling and don't have access to my email, but I have Slack and other third-party projects that send me instant messages if a sensor goes down."
