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.
Indispensable Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
I and my teammates use Instana regularly to investigate app failures, errors, and latencies.
What do you dislike about the product?
The results become less reliable over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to find where errors have occurred, read the logs, and see if there were Infra changes or what may have caused the issue.
Great Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and very intuitive UI. You don't need to think too much to check errors and load numbers on a per endpoint or per service basis. You are also able to check error messages.
What do you dislike about the product?
The API documentation is not the best and it is not very clear what APIs do. Including examples with the endpoints could be very helpful in understanding its purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives an insight as to which services are impacted by an incident and how does the chain of command follows the services. which makes it easier to debug the problems.
I use Instana almost everyday, its a awesome tool to monitor the product.
What do you like best about the product?
Once you get used to it, it's an excellent tool to monitor the product. I use it to monitor my deployments and the application's overall health and help identify bugs and their causes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found it pretty intimidating at first. The onboarding experience for new users could be better; maybe some tutorials for useful features cause I still think I'm not using it to its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping me see my application's actual health and its moving parts. I can use it to monitor an endpoint that could be affected by my recent deployment or to get more information about a possible bug in production.
Great product, UI and tooling, easy to find value
What do you like best about the product?
Instana is easy to install, provides great value very quickly and we keep finding new ways to use it.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only criticism is that I wish it was easier/faster to get help from support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Instana for APM but also finding lots of value in having Instana monitor and alert on issues inside the kubernetes environment.
I recommend it, it has essential tools for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Of course the map of applications, observe how the status of applications and error alerts are going
What do you dislike about the product?
In general, I really like using the tool, but I could release an API to be able to use the information in an external panel
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a member of the engineering team, I can monitor our applications and know their health status, and I can act quickly when there is a glitch.
