IBM Instana - APM Tool for effective monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
IBM Instana is a cool application for monitoring my complex applications. The insights are good to decide for our future planning of applications and resources for our cloud platforms. The monitoring by IBM Instana is real-time so that we can see our bottle necks and perform immediate actions if something is not in line.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel the cost of the service is higher compared to other similar softwares in the market. The learning curve of IBM Instana is higher, where experienced persons only can effectively use the service. This service is exclusively built for some platforms where others find it difficult to perform certain task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IBM Instana for managing and monitoring my application performance. We identify the applications' bottlenecks in real-time and make necessary processes. The service also helps us identify the root cause of the issues and provides various insights around it. The correlation among the various complex components is handled by this service.
IBM Instana: A mixed bag
What do you like best about the product?
- The standout feature has to be the consistently responsive customer service. They are remaining attentive and helpful. It is reassuring they are there when you need them.
- Instana casts a wide net when it comes to monitoring. It is a versatile tool when it comes to monitoring. The break down of traffic and infrastructure that it does for you can really help you stay on top of your game.

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

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
A one stop solution for observability
What do you like best about the product?
Easy integration with different cloud service provider.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is something where IBM to work more. easy iniital stage tutorial will be very helpful for easy understanding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using to monitor Application metrics like latebcy, error rate and tracebacks
App Diagnoster
What do you like best about the product?
Instana's standout features include its automated service discovery, real-time performance monitoring, and the corresponding alerts and notifications
What do you dislike about the product?
It support only On-Premises deployment.and little bit expesive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
