Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Sentry breaks everything down in real time."
"The product performs well."
"Sentry is a pretty stable product... Sentry's documentation is pretty straightforward and neat."
"Sentry is more accurate than some other tools such as Datadog because it has more integration with Slack, GitLab, Jira, or other ticketing tools."
"The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
"Great for capturing application performance metrics and error logs."
"It's a great visibility tool for the developer team."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create and assign rules and give access to particular users."
"The alerts are very effective."
"The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good."
"Splunk gives my clients the ability to bring multiple, disparate types of data together, then correlate and report on them."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"There are quite a lot of things that we find useful. Splunk agents are useful and good. Its UI is quite impressive."
"I really like the user interface and how it works."
"The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"The settings for an administrator are complex."
"The log centralization and analysis could be improved in Sentry."
"I would like to have alert policies and alert conditions enhanced in the next release."
"Its debugging feature needs to be faster."
"The price could be lowered."
"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."
"I would like to see a role registration feature added."
"The analytics of Splunk could be improved."
"More control with Splunk Cloud as it seems a bit limited. I used to manage an on-premise instance of Splunk Enterprise and really liked having more control over it."
"Adding custom visualization in Splunk has been improved over the years but can still be made better by integrating more and more JavaScript visualization sources."
"Splunk needs local technical support."
"I would like Splunk to add more integration. QRadar has many indications with more products than Splunk."
"An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times."
"The security can be improved."
"For on-premise, it's more about optimization. With such a heavy byte scale of data that we are operating on, the search for disparate data sometimes takes about a minute. This is understandable considering the amount of data that we are pumping into it. The only optimization that I recommend is better sharding, when it comes to Splunk, so that data retrieval can be faster."
