Could an APM be this user friendly?

Easy access to throughput, latencies, errors etc. Great visual representations via graphs and an excellent drill-down mechanism to debug erroneous calls and slow transactions.

Great tool for observability
What do you like best about the product?
It's a great tool for monitoring and observability. As a DevOps team, we are monitoring the performance of our tools and the underlying infrastructure. It provides real-time alerts so we can manage them efficiently and promptly. User friendly dashboards help to obtain relevant information quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such expect that the logs retention period can be longer than one month. Sometimes while analyzing the logs I have encountered a few issues while receiving old data. Apart from that, all is good so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a DevOps team, we were facing many challenges while monitoring our tools and their underlying infrastructure which is spread across AWS and Azure cloud. Instana came in very handy for observability needs. It triggers alerts as per the set conditions which helps to track the performance and take necessary steps. The dashboard gives an overview of all the applications and infrastructure status, this feature is a life saver for the operations team.
