Considered Both Products	Instabug No answer on this topic	Sentry Verified User Anonymous Chose Sentry Rollbar, Dynatrace, Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM), Datadog and Grafana Incentivized Helpful? Rahul Jain Senior Software Engineering Chose Sentry We used rollbar but didn't like the configuration its not easy. And also doesn't support wide features like Sentry although its a cheaper option but doesn't have the dash-boarding like Sentry and its was not easy to integrate webhooks for different purposes. Somehow many people … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sentry Both AppD and Instana are a superset of sentry the majority of the time. Sentry is specialised in error tracking does the best in it, but the other too mentioned does a similar job along with multiple other monitoring features. Also, sampling of data is best in Instana, and is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sentry We actually ended up using both because New Relic is a more robust overall IT infrastructure monitoring product. However, sentry is more developer oriented on the backend and more client friendly on the front end as far as showing results and the dashboard etc. It can provide … Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Scivolette President Chose Sentry I think Sentry is far more user-friendly and has a better UI. Sentry is also a more affordable option. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sentry Sentry was cheaper and lighter weight/easier to deal with. New Relic always felt like it was slowing the site down some. I don’t think either has had any major negative impact, but Sentry always seemed better/faster. Also, Sentry doesn’t have contracts like New Relic does … Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Van Heusen Software Architect Chose Sentry Sentry is better suited for tracking and aggregating exceptions over New Relic. New Relic does report on exceptions that occur, but Sentry is better at rolling up similar exceptions and filtering out the noise. Sentry also does a great job at identifying when an exception first … Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Dickson Director of Engineering Chose Sentry Sentry is really a tool to be used in combination with other things, like Pingdom and PagerDuty. For those applications, Sentry is a far more full-features offering that lets you see why errors happened, not just be alerted to their occurrence. We chose it over other error … Incentivized Helpful? Luke Abbott Developer Chose Sentry There are quite a few players in this space, but Rollbar and Sentry seem to be the top two. I can't remember why I chose Sentry over Rollbar, but they seem pretty close in terms of features. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Instabug is great to capture bug reports during the testing phase of your app. You can also collect user data such as device, OS, and App version to easily reproduce the issue. Incentivized Billy Pham Technical Program Manager Read full review	[Sentry] is honestly an amazing product. It allows us to detect errors in real time complete with stack traces and any extra accompanying information the developer wants to provide in the alert. With the alerting into Slack it has allowed us to quickly triage and tag in people who need eyes on a specific issue. It would be really useful in any Saas product environment.

Pros	Instabug allows testers to quickly and easily send their bug reports. Testers can draw on the screenshots, capture video and write back. Instabug also has amazing customer support that is always quick to respond to our requests and needs. Users can also make integrations so you can easily turn Instabug reports into Jira or other tracking software. Incentivized Billy Pham Technical Program Manager Read full review	It collects very detailed information on problems that happen to our users while using the platform It supplies very good tools in order to aggregate the collected data and analyze it It integrates with Slack, making it easier to "monitor it in real time" Incentivized Yaniv Vararu Director, Quality & Processes Read full review
Cons	Could be less pricey. Should be something that works not just on IOS and Android but also on web applications. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	if we could decrease the costing via some kind of sampling of errors. sometimes same error is in loop and Sentry will count all the events for pricing if there is any way this can be reduced. self hosted capabilities or using own storage to reduce cost.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	We actually ended up using both because New Relic is a more robust overall IT infrastructure monitoring product.

Return on Investment	Reduced the time to get feedback. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Error tracking is a must in any modern dynamic website or app. By looking into the error notifications I'm able to fix errors before anyone even has a chance to complain about them! Surprisingly, many website issues aren't showing up in Sentry, because they don't trigger exceptions. I'm interested in seeing if I can use Sentry to catch manually-triggered exceptions for "undesirable states" that my website can find itself in. Of course, that means I have to figure out how to have my client code recognize that it's in an undesirable state... Incentivized Luke Abbott Developer Read full review
