Micro Focus AppPulse Suite (discontinued) vs. Sentry

From my point of view, when we are working with a medium package project, this Micro Focus AppPulse Suite is very useful and effective at finding problems in our activities and codes and isolating them. But when we are working on large-size projects or backend performances, it works slowly to detect issues.

[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.

• Monitoring user web activities from the user's point of view.
• Gives status details as clear dashboard formats.

• 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"

• It's getting slow when we work with large projects.
• At first it's hard to find some 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.

Overall the support is good. Most of the hard situations passed smoothly because of the support team.

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 product level insights that New Relic does not.

• With effective dashboard, it describes everything easily.
• Easy to setup and have some difficulties to handle.

• 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...
