Great Application Performance Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Instana keeps getting better. I really like the new AI-powered incident investigation—it saves a lot of time by pinpointing issues fast. The real-time tracing and smart dashboards make monitoring feel effortless. Great tool for keeping complex cloud setups in check.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instana is still super easy to use and the docs are great. If anything, a quick walkthrough or guided setup for first-time users would make the start even smoother.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us in monitoring the IT incidents and service requests very effectienly and also helps us in alerting customers in the scenarios of downtime or utilizations etc. It also gives insights of customer's cloud infrastructure.

IBM INSTANA Monitor tool usage feedback
What do you like best about the product?
It's quite easy to install and configure and its pulling lot of information from single agent
What do you dislike about the product?
We need more handson to understand the functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Installation of agent with proxy server makes complex
An overall great tool for the engineering team
What do you like best about the product?
Where do I even start. There's so much to explore and make use of. I've only probably used like 30% of what this tool has to offer. And I do this very easily with it:
1. See critical incidents, set up alerts, analyze all other services' states in the range of time in which an incident occurred
2. Amazing log analysis, infra ingress and egress monitoring, filtering, aggregation, code flows, super detailed drill down of API calls down to the last DB call and finding bottlenecks
3. amazing filtering options. I only use like 3-4 but even with them it's so easy to pinpoint to a time and app state that I want to see.
4. love the short url shortcut so much - it's a very small thing, but very useful when needing to share 10s of such links per debugging session. more apps should generate short links because nobody likes to see the whole query in a link.
5. if you're new to a company, it's a great tool for practically understanding the infra setup and monitor the innards using the amazing dashboard with its range selection that can be highligted across all services' charts in real time, to help you pinpoint problems even more easily.

What do you dislike about the product?
If I google instana, there's no link I can open from the website that I can login to my company's account from. this makes it hard to login - i have to keep my company's login url handy.
I wish there were a way to check POST bod- that would making debugging easier
I think that's about it. Not much to dislike.

Instana aka great platform
What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring and tracking requests are so precise, also comfortable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet discovered from my side, but automatic support for golang microservices would be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Erroneous call rates error detection a second-grade precision.
Useful tool to monitor environment
What do you like best about the product?
Easily to understand, detailed, and user-friendly ways to control your environments. One of my preferred tools to work
What do you dislike about the product?
No comments, I really like it. In my company is one of the tools that is more used
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When identifying an incident, is easy to identify what could be the issue and also to see if there was a problem with some deployments, you can also have an overview
Saves me and my organization every day with its brilliant data and visualization
What do you like best about the product?
I want to compare Instana to a Department store where everything is available, and you don't need separate stores for each, which is by default time-consuming and tedious job. In short, the complete Application/user monitoring and debugging is well presented in its interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
After a few weeks, the data is deleted/approximated as a data retention policy, which sometimes, on analyzing the old issues, we couldn't come to a judgment. Please consider if you can increase the timeline a little bit more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Instana, we used to have a 24*7 team that looked at the logs continuously, and on any error, they will call our developers/tech support people. Now the team isn't really required since we have the alerting mechanism configured for all errors. Also, the logs from server to user and back to the server in each transaction can easily be tracked and understood; if Instana isn't there, I feel that I need to work at least 5 or 6 times than the time I'm doing now.
Instana best Tool to get insights to your application, tracks all requests and application lavel metrics easy to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
Pretty easy to use and tracks all the important metrics from your micro services. Very easy to install on a kubernets setup. Works well with external services as well. Even tracks database and mq level metrics
What do you dislike about the product?
Can improve on query prcessing latencies, can include more features regarding security assessments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to track application-level logs and analytics, and alerting helps us be proactive before anything goes down. Also allows us to measure the performance metrics of different services
Excellent tool to monitor systems
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is that everything is done automatically with its artificial intelligence, and the best part is that it correlates all events using artificial intelligence to determine the root cause.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem I've found is that you can't exclude invalid alarms, and you still have to do it manually and slowly to configure exceptions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Detection of errors instantly and thus we can act more quickly.
