Ideal tool for spark submit jobs

  • January 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the right tool for monitoring your entire system

Best APM after struggling with others

What do you like best about the product?
Instana has really made life easier. After trying super costly APM like AppDynamics and Buggy New Relic, Instana makes things easier
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI I feel can still be improvised. Node JS monitoring can provide more details, like Database connections etc in a better way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Instana to monitor our Kubernetes Cluster. The biggest benefit is we don't need to configure apps now. It just picks them up. This saves time.

Great Application Performance Monitor!

  • January 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a support manager, trying to understand our platform performance a key for success. Understanding flow, usage, and performance for each user is critical when troubleshooting. With minimal details, we can trace and narrow down issues for our users very easily and quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we got used to the classic view and created our workflows, the new interface took some time to retrain our staff and had to go through retaining for the team members. But with some short training and helpful staff at Instana, we were able to get back to full speed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a cloud based platform, we have many areas to review for any issues our users encountered. End users, cloud, our own applications and tools. Looking at each individual component doesn't always help us understand the issue. With Instana, it gives us the whole picture view, from usage and flow and how each input from end user to cloud to query and how much time each piece is consuming is a great help for our trouble shooting.
