Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"User session details"
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"The product is simple to use."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"I would rate the stability of Sentry as eight out of ten."
"Its initial setup process is relatively straightforward."
"The product performs well."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"Overall, I give Sentry a rating of 10."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The price could be lowered."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"It should be easier to integrate Sentry with other tools, and the end-to-end tracing capabilities could be improved."
"It would be nice if the product provided a map showing the users’ geographic location."
"To deal with its shortcomings, Sentry needs to continuously improve in areas like the user interface and documentation, apart from its other features."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"I have not worked with Sentry long enough to provide advice for improvements. I need more experience and time."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The product is very cheap."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"We can adjust the price a little bit based on our needs."
"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 are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service."
"I am currently using a self-hosted open version."
