Considered Both Products
Logz.io
Chose Logz.io
Although they are very similar in several ways, we find logz.io to be very simple to use making it more suitable for our needs.
Chose Logz.io
They offer the same function but logz.io commercial value is lower and can be adopted if company wanted just to meet baseline requirements of iso 27001 security controls.
The basic function for centralize logs management and allow the feature of log collection for easy audit, …
Chose Logz.io
Sentry, Datadog, New Relic, Zabbix and Raygun
Chose Logz.io
Graylog and Microsoft System Center lacks infrastructure management and logging, proper analytics is done only on Logz.io. The customer support is also really great for Logz.io, we are really pleased with their support and timely action. The migration was also easy and took us …
Chose Logz.io
Chosen before any other software for its versatility and speed to immediately stop any failure that may impair the operation of our applications, also their prices are very fair and it is very easy to work with it. On the other hand, other software such as FortiSIEM is very …
Chose Logz.io
Logz.io is more affordable, less work to maintain, and has more features. It was an easy choice. After my last team had to manage their own ELK stack, this was a no brainer. It helps us be focused on our core competencies.
Chose Logz.io
It is more focused in its approach which makes it really good for aggregating and analyzing logs. It has been way more helpful than New Relic APM for us. Data dog is nice but has some different focuses as well.
Sentry
Chose Sentry
Rollbar, Dynatrace, Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM), Datadog and Grafana
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.

Logz.ioSentry
Likelihood to Recommend
It is appropriate for companies that focus on developing extremely simple applications. The great visibility it provides makes it ideal to avoid problems that may affect the entire business or company thanks to the fact that it is capable of emitting dozens of alerts in a short time. Sometimes the search behavior becomes slow and inefficient, which can be uncomfortable.

[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
  • Alerting - Logz.io allows you to set up numerous alerts and define the specific conditions to trigger these alerts, such as the number of occurrences over a specific period of time and severity.
  • Notifications - The supported integrations with Slack and OpsGenie make it easy to set up alerts to specific groups or users, like those in a particular Slack room or OpsGenie group. This is good to reduce noise and limit initial notifications to those who really need to get it.

  • 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"

Cons
  • Dashboards are tough to get started with without the help of someone from logz.io
  • Understanding how to pin and effectively use the nice little features

  • 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.

Usability
Am really exited to use the reports generated especially AWS Cost and Usage Reports function tracks your AWS usage and provides estimated charges associated with your account so that we can reduce the data costs to a greater extend. This integration allows you to ship logs from your AWS Cost and Usage Reports to your Logz.io account.More amazing features awaits you in Logz.io account.

Support Rating
In the past, my team has been able to get in contact with Logz.io quickly and easily to address our questions about the product to see if it could fully meet all our needs. Some of the features we needed at the time were not available, but were on the Logz.io team's roadmap to implement in the future. I found their team to be friendly, professional, and helpful

Implementation of logzio is easy. Exporting the logs with filebeat agent is our main key source.

Graylog and Microsoft System Center lacks infrastructure management and logging, proper analytics is done only on Logz.io. The customer support is also really great for Logz.io, we are really pleased with their support and timely action. The migration was also easy and took us hardly a day to set up and run the solutions.

We actually ended up using both because New Relic is a more robust overall IT infrastructure monitoring product.

Return on Investment
  • about the investment, this tool is helping in our day to day activities
  • easy to troubleshoot the errors
  • simple and powerful
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...
