I use Sentry to send project errors and find bugs in the project. I work on fixing the bugs, even though some come from external integrations.

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability
February 2025

Find out what your peers are saying about Sentry, Microsoft, Grafana Labs and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability. Updated: February 2025.
838,713 professionals have used our research since 2012.
Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
A good data protection solution for our clients and projects
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is user-friendly."
- "The price could be lowered."
What is our primary use case?
We deploy CyberArk for some companies and projects. So, for example, if a company wants to protect its data, the CyberArk PAM solution can be implemented. So, in that case, we take that project and implement it. So, we don't go with the old Sentry because we have implemented a new PAM solution. We deploy the solution both on-premises and in the cloud.
The solution has two primary use cases. First, there are two different certifications, Defender and Sentry, in CyberArk. Sentry is how to deploy the PAM solution into the existing environment. For example, for all the privileged accounts, there's an administrative account, administrative access to the AD accounts and domain accounts, dash share accounts, etcetera.
If someone needs to make changes in the admin server, they must request access, and the records will go to the server owner or domain control owner, who needs to approve that access. Additionally, there is threat analysis for the suspected activity that will be triggered to another system. So, the session, which got connected to the servers, will be terminated at that particular time. Once a suspect alert is generated, the session will be terminated and no longer be connected to the server and no longer have access to the server.
What is most valuable?
The solution is user-friendly, and this is very valuable.
What needs improvement?
The integration could be improved, and the price could be lowered.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the solution for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
We have not had experience with customer service and support.
How was the initial setup?
There are two options for the initial setup, JumpStart server and customized setup. If someone doesn't have a high-level architect, then CyberArk would help with the JumpStart server because they have everything pre-planned and don't need to customize anything. A smaller company will take three months to onboard the entire PAM solution. We would need a minimum of three months for an entry-level company.
What about the implementation team?
Implementation was via a vendor team.
What was our ROI?
There is a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The license is quite expensive, but it is worth the price.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but the integration with dashboards could be improved.

Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides."
- "I would like to see a role registration feature added."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case is for user access to a particular database of specific tables. We are using the Sentry privileges feature.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature we have found with Sentry is the security that it provides.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see a role registration feature added. I would like to see Sentry integrated with the cloud platforms that are currently on the market.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Sentry for the past three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is good and since I have been using it I have found no system errors.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have not currently tried the scalability of Sentry but we have two thousand users involved on daily basis accessing the tables and databases.
How was the initial setup?
I did the setup of Sentry for the Cloudera manager and it was easy. It has a built-in feature that we have to click and install.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We are currently paying through Cloudera for the Sentry service.
What other advice do I have?
Sentry provides excellent security when it comes to tables and databases. I would rate Sentry an eight out of ten.
