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.
Sagar Shekhar - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable tool with an easy setup phase that provides ease of use to its users
The most valuable feature of the solution is the way it formats the raw data and helps make the understanding process much easier for the users. When you see the unformatted lots, it looks gibberish, especially for first-time users who may not understand a lot of things, but using Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) can make their job easier.
