Honeycomb vs Sentry AI — Comparison

Honeycomb

Observability for what comes next. Honeycomb gives you the context, speed and scale you need to build great software in the AI era.

Learn how an ops engineer and a developer came together to solve a really hard engineering problem, create the observability category, and bring tools that do not suck to engineering teams everywhere. We are the observability pioneers, and we will be your partners and guides along your journey. We meet you where you are, and guide you to a better place. Observability is the future—and it’s up to us to take the lead and shape that future. We believe in questioning the status quo and charting our own path. Perhaps you do, too. Our values are the “how” in how we work with our colleagues, engage with our community, and build observability software. Take pride in your craft and ship relentlessly. Be like our storage engine: 99% right in milliseconds is better than 100% right in an hour. Code in production is worth two in canary. Pay attention to your mind and body so you can give and get help. All of us wobble, and being transparent about that means we can support each other. Don’t get attached to specific outcomes, as they can prevent you from moving forward. Construct your experiments with purpose, evaluate them with honesty, and share your results. Giving and receiving feedback is like strengthening a muscle. This is not a skill we are born with, or ever perfectly master; and nobody gets it right every single time. Come curious. Focus on impact over output. Be generous with your ideas and use your judgment. Optimize for our collective success, not individual glory. Kill your darlings. Be bold and shake it up. We think equally about building Honeycomb the product, the business, and the company. We’re committed to building a software engineering company of which our people are proud to have been a part. After years in engineering feeling like I was missing critical insights, with our switch to Honeycomb, suddenly, it’s like I have sight for the first time in my career. Principal Software Engineer, Phorest We rely on Honeycomb to provide the world-class scale and resilience LaunchDarkly customers expect. Co-founder and CEO, LaunchDarkly We’re able to bring a different mentality in the way we run and manage our production systems. We were able to really help our engineering teams and change the culture. Chief Solutions Architect, Vanguard People ask, ‘Where’s Honeycomb in the new architecture?’ The answer is it’s everywhere. It’s built in. Technical Director of Infrastructure,
CCP Games We have predictable pricing that lets us do away with the legacy approach of sampling logs to preserve budget. Honeycomb’s event-based pricing empowers us to see every request from every service that comes through. Director of Platform Engineering, Fender As well as Mike Krieger, Ilya Sukhar, Anamitra Banerji, Venkat Venkataramani, and a number of other angels.

Sentry AI

Application monitoring software considered 
"not bad" by millions of developers.

We're so much more than error monitoring software. We're also performance monitoring software. Our platform helps every developer diagnose, fix, and optimize the performance of their code. With Sentry, developers around the world save time, energy, and probably a few therapy sessions. Sentry supports more than 100 coding languages, which means it probably supports yours. We also integrate with a whole bunch of useful tools (and a few necessary evils), including but definitely not limited to GitHub, Slack, and Jira. (We're still waiting on our first customer in Antarctica) (That's enough to build the Golden Gate Bridge six times, if we could take that money and time travel back to 1933) The team behind Sentry built and shipped the software behind many fine brands, a short sampling of which will no doubt impress and delight you. We were occasionally useful at Dropbox. Drew pictures at GitHub. Nodded sagely during meetings at Atlassian. Sentry started out as an open-source project. Our founders' goal was straightforward: solve their own problems with an easy way to fix their own mistakes. Ten years later, their two person passion project is the world's leading error-tracking platform with 200+ employees in four offices worldwide. Okay, not everywhere. But somewhere.
