Impressive and game changer!

What do you like best about the product?
Instana is really straight-forward regarding configuration: you just need to install the agent in a node level and it is done. The main point that made Instana our choice is that it was the only solution that fit to our product scale, considering that its price is based on how many nodes do you have in your cluster, and not in how many pods do you have. I am really satisfied with all the features it have delivered us and also with the improvement it has brought to our troubleshooting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing is that you need to think in a annual scaling when considering to use Instana. The pricing is calculated in a annual basis, so you need to consider your cost forecast and architecture sizing in order to invest properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CPU and Memory overflow and application calls tracing. By using it, we were able to make a better root cause analysis in some performance problems we had.

deep down tracking of the real time issues and tracing part.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my environment, our applicaiton is a big enterprise applicaiton with lots of intergrations with mesaging queue and web services.

Great tool for real time analytics

  • January 31, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Enables proactive monitoring and faster response to potential problems, minimizing downtime.
What do you dislike about the product?
nitial complexity might require additional time and training for teams to fully exploit the platform's capabilities.
Depending on the scale of the deployment, the cost may become a significant factor for some users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem: In modern applications built using microservices architecture, monitoring each service individually and understanding their interactions can be complex and challenging.
Solution: Instana provides automatic discovery and mapping of microservices, offering visibility into the entire application stack. This simplifies monitoring and troubleshooting in microservices-based environments.

perfect for microservices

  • November 21, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Great tool to monitor your microservices (on-premise and/or Cloud)
It also gives you recommendations on how to proceed to fix problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps one of the biggest problems is the poor marketing of this tool.
I see that it is a tool with a lot of potential (as long as it is used with Turbonomic)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Typically companies have hundreds of microservices. This tool helps monitor these microservices and notify you if any of them are not working well.
