Instana
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to install Instana, very little configuration is needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have 2 Instana tenants, one for Production, and one for everything else. There is no built-in way to move configurations and settings between these two tenants. This is a nuisance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and observability. With Instana we are able to find and detect issues. With the ability to add custom rules and notifications we can alert internally of a problem before it is reported by customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great product, and pretty easy on the budget. Instana is moving fast, and very interesting things appear to be on the horizon.

It's a perfect Tool. One should go for it, in case there's a need for such tools in the project! Also, this can add up to the productivity of the team.
One can have multiple graphs and reports built on different objects to see the real-time stats of any entity.
For example:-
If one has to check how many orders are getting placed daily!
Those can be tracked easily, and it gives a clear perspective on the actual status.
So it's a life savior in many terms !!

Instana review from UI Developer
What do you like best about the product?
It is able to automate the discovery of infrastructure – servers (added or removed), containers, microservices, etc. UI logs are useful and helps to improve the performance. Instana has solved size of environment, rate of change, rate of deployment,etc.. This was no easy task and it required the creation of brand new technologies that are the intellectual property of Instana. Nobody will solve all of these challenges just by cobbling together a bunch of open source big data tools. This gives Instana a major architectural competitive advantage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think instana provides the required features for my project. So far nothing which I disliked about it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network logs helps us to analyze back end issues. Performance improvement and it's easier to fix errors.

I would like to recommend to my friends and colleagues as instana is really useful.
