What do you dislike about the product?
- It is hard not to notice a slowdown in innovation since the IBM acquisition. While stability is essential, we all carve fresh features and improvements.
- Instana offers a smorgasbord of monitoring capabilities. Some features shine, but others lag behind. It is a bit of a mixed bag.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated anomaly detection done for us. It follows best practices and is done in an integrated way that would be difficult to accomplish on our own.
Good experience, great data points, helpful in identifying issues and debugging.
What do you like best about the product?
End-to-end tracing which pans across Frontend and Backend. To be able to identify 1 request through FE Web or Mobile app to gateway to downstream service gives a complete idea that what is going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
For web observability SDK, while the platform provides great insights like breakdown of latency's and tcp/ip handshake latency and other vitals, it misses out on giving a clear picture to identify total latency observed by the end user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned earlier, the end-to-end tracing for a request is a great help also Mobile and Website monitoring are great to see what is going on a user session level.
Useful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
it is very easy to find the information of my apis and to plug instana in them
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that the time to receive information from .net applications could be better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to validate bugs and performance issues in an easy way
Instana observability solution : Smart agent and powerful cloud APM solution
What do you like best about the product?
APM part is providing great value
Deep process / application analysing (specialy Java process)
Agent is easy to deploy and auto discover pretty much a lot of middlewares (HAproxy, tomcat, MySQL ...)
Power Cloud portal for search, alerting with various possibility (webhook,email etc) and custom event building to go even further with the tool

What do you dislike about the product?
Not so developped logs capabilities
I'm not sure to have found what i was looking for on the tracing side
Could be better for Database Performance Monitoring (MySQL/MariaDB, PGSQL, Cassandra...) support is less than competors : Dynatrace, Datadog ...
The price !!! this can be an issue with the recent increase

Great Application Performance Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Instana keeps getting better. I really like the new AI-powered incident investigation—it saves a lot of time by pinpointing issues fast. The real-time tracing and smart dashboards make monitoring feel effortless. Great tool for keeping complex cloud setups in check.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instana is still super easy to use and the docs are great. If anything, a quick walkthrough or guided setup for first-time users would make the start even smoother.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us in monitoring the IT incidents and service requests very effectienly and also helps us in alerting customers in the scenarios of downtime or utilizations etc. It also gives insights of customer's cloud infrastructure.
near real-time application logging & monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
it integrates with my php application using its library and as promised, it does give an alert within 3 second of incident occurence. works really great when there is need to integrate the system with other tools like prometheus.
What do you dislike about the product?
setup could have been a bit more easier compare to other software / alternatives. this may provide it more close to core access and thus more capability but avid programmer would generally aware this much installation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it provides the best in class incident reporting latency, in an instant one can capture the source of failure. this may be not general need but for someone who has few projects that deals with realtime micro transaction processing, then even 1 second can be proven ballistic if not handled in mean time.
Good solution for monitoring performance
What do you like best about the product?
efficient way for resolving monitoring performance
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes the user interface is not that friendly to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
the observation for monitoring tasks
IBM Instana is the best tool for app Monitoring.
What do you like best about the product?
This tool has good UI for integarting your systems and receive alerts in faster space or almost real time. it also help to analyse API calls and based on data or reports you can improve API performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has integration issues where we face delay while integrating few aws services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool helped us to observe application performs and few other cloud service components based on diffrent parameters. That helped us to improve SLA for our services
Great Observalibity tool
What do you like best about the product?
AI centric Observalibility at its best which predicts lot of real time issues upfront and gives a great heads up in fixing the problems that occurs in typical production environment with lots of challenges
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing much that i see as dislikes, their AI centric approach makes the product excellent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Log analysis & Potential Problems in infra & deployments & profiling features in API calls, & great remeidation automation which can be injected to reduce common problems with systems.
