Instana - Great solution for infrastructure monitoring and APM
What do you like best about the product?
We moved from Zabbix to Instana. With the rollout of the Instana agents on our servers we more or less out of the box got much better insights into our system landscape and application performance:
- Easy to setup
- Automated discovery
- Coverage of supported technologies
- Detailed infrastructure monitoring
- Flexible configuration of applications used for APM - great for monitoring micro services
Support from Instana is great. Usually you get very fast response on your questions.
When features are not supported by the existing supported technologies there is a good chance to get them implemented or find an alternative solution using generic metric reporters like statsd. Already looking forward for release 191 to get MySQL replication status support.
Special thanks to our Customer Success Manager Zeynep. You are doing a great job and helped us a lot whenever needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
We are using a lot custom metrics. Configuring events for them is limited. Instana itself is more powerful. The built-in events use more sophisticated rules like changes over a period of time. However they are not available for custom metrics.
Analytics on infrastructure metrics. The comparison tables provided by Instana do not support all metrics. This is a limitation for us.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Instana for both infrastructure monitoring and APM. We run multiple environments of our cloud platform in different data centers including AWS. Instana helped us to get detailed insights into infrastructure metrics with a high resolution. This helped us to better identify infrastructure related issues. The APM capabilities helped us to identify performance issues in production and to improve on a continuous base.
I implemented a provider for terraform based on Instanas Web REST API (https://github.com/gessnerfl/terraform-provider-instana). This allows us to rollout our monitoring configurations together with the infrastructure code and during application rollouts. With this we achieved a consistent monitoring setup across multiple stages and regions.

Extremely fast and easy deployment. With Instana start your debugging session in 5 minutes or less!
What do you like best about the product?
A simple and clean deployment process, a vast variety of technologies for agent instrumentation, continuous updates, notifications, custom dashboards, third party integrations via rest API, etc. I really like that Instana listens to their users since is easy to request features and get them implemented.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support process needs more attention. Is not easy to address critical issues in a fast way due to the lack of effectiveness to reach an experienced engineer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams debug issues on a distributed environment, so getting a quick root cause analysis is vital. The ability to store and recover historical data is relevant as well to understand what has changed and usually generated a service disruption or outage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend to test Instana and check how it behaves when monitoring a real environment. This action will pinpoint in a fast way their strengths and weakness.
