Sentry vs Logify: What are the differences?
What is Sentry? Cut time to resolution for app errors from five hours to five minutes. Sentry is an open-source platform for workflow productivity, aggregating errors from across the stack in real time. 500K developers use Sentry to get the code-level context they need to resolve issues at every stage of the app lifecycle.
What is Logify? A cloud-based service that automatically collects app crash. It is a real-time application monitoring and automated exception reporting so you can analyze and improve your apps and deliver rock-solid solutions that behave as expected across all usage scenarios. Includes clients for JavaScript, ASP.NET, .NET Core, Node.js, WinForms, WPF, Delphi, Java, Android, Xamarin, and PHP applications.
Sentry and Logify can be primarily classified as "Exception Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by Sentry are:
- Real-Time Updates: For the first time, developers can fix code-level issues anywhere in the stack well before users even encounter an error.
- Complete Context: Spend more time where it matters, rather than investing in low-impact issues.
- Integrate Everywhere: Drop-in integration for every major platform, framework, and language -- JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Node, Java, .NET, mobile.
On the other hand, Logify provides the following key features:
- ASP.NET client
- WinForms client
- .NET Core client
Sentry is an open source tool with 22.1K GitHub stars and 2.54K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Sentry's open source repository on GitHub.
I essentially inherited a Shopify theme that was originally created by an agency. After discovering a number of errors being thrown in the Dev Console just by scrolling through the website, I needed more visibility over any errors happening in the field. Having used both Sentry and TrackJS, I always got lost in the TrackJS interface, so I felt more comfortable introducing Sentry. The Sentry free tier is also very generous, although it turns out the theme threw over 15k errors in less than a week.
I highly recommend setting up error tracking from day one. Theoretically, you should never need to upgrade from the free tier if you're keeping on top of the errors...
