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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would like to recommend to my friends and colleagues as instana is really useful.
An Outstandingly Efficient tool to monitor your infrastructure !!
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI mode is highly user friendly with emphasis on various sectors, servers, services, endpoints, process etc almost everything & anything you can think of. You can hover over things or you can manually search & query things you need & the server pulls you out the data at a snap of your fingers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What do you dislike about the product?
The API server gave us some tough time to configure few of our alerts forwarding to slack but thanks to the awesome support from the Instana support guys..they fixed it in their immediate next release. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We almost monitor all of our prod & dev servers, jvm services running inside it and anything we want to configure. The alert & SNS service is just simply awesome while it comes to work with almost negligent latency. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Instana is instant
What do you like best about the product?
The User interface and the easiness to quickly use the tool make this tool a great product. The view of the dashboard gives an overall state of the servers.

Will be much better if detailed logs are captured within the tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick resolutions of the infrastructure related issues
Overall amazing experience, very powerful UI with almost all details captured and displayed properly
What do you like best about the product?
As UI developer, knowing console error for various client browser is the most helpful feature. Also it shows requests from various geographical location which is very helpful during analysis and sometimes serves as a pointer to a bug you are looking into.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's been just couple of months since I started using, so for me getting request parameters for each client request is something also very useful, which I found missing (or may be I did not dig in that much)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to ask client for console error are completely eliminated with instana.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy to use and offers very powerful and useful features. Integration with various modules are also very easy and documentation is also very helpful and up to point.

Ideal tool for spark submit jobs
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using it for monitoring the performance of spark jobs and using the metrics for fine tuning the infrastructure needed for spark jobs. Instana has helped me right from the installation script, yes, just a one liner. The graphs are detailed, very easy to detect and altogether i like the feel of the website as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The spark jobs i was running on was of 2.3.0. However after some time, i found out that this version of spark is not supported by instana. It would be great if you can add this to your future releases. However i was able to get generic details of cluster usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to use it for monitoring the performance of spark jobs and using the metrics for fine tuning the infrastructure needed for spark jobs.
