    Paolo V.

Excellent and efficient management tool

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- UI display is simple
- Overall view of erroneous call to endpoints and latency is very useful to find performance issues of the monitored software
- Ease of adding new applications to monitor
- Customization of the pages is easy even for beginners.
What do you dislike about the product?
- Finding specific endpoint usages based on request content (e.g. body) can be difficult, and the UI could make it far more obvious
- Direct integrations with third-party providers such as Grafana would be very appreciate
- The way kubernetes resources are represented is now always clear and could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This platform helps us determine and find the root cause of the problem, which causes performance to degrade. Monitor in real time and provide instant alerts on issues.

Saves me and my organization every day with its brilliant data and visualization

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

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.

A useful tool to monitor the whole environment

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I use Instana mostly to understand which APIs are returning errors or to understand which are too expensive in term of time consuming. I like the way Instana groups the results in several graph to undestand better in fewer time. And I like the way things are linked together: starting from the API I can go lower to the data/repository layer and see if a query is taking too much to complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sincerely I haven't found something wrong, or missing, basing on the use I made of the product. Maybe, in my opinion, Instana seems a "read only" tool, I mean I use Instana to find issues, than I have to go to that system and act manually. I know that there are so many tools and systems to control and to handle, but maybe it could be useful to give the user some "restart that thing that is not working" features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a cloud environment based on AWS servers and Kubernetes orchestrator. Instana is useful to have a snapshot of the entire environment, monitoring low-level machines, pods/containers, services, DBs, etc. We have alerts enabled, it's useful to have a notification when something is wrong, even when you are not alway logged in or you have a tab of Instana in your browser.

Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
La capacité de filtrer les données selon les besoins pour obtenir des informations précises est d'une grande aide. Visualiser ce type de données aide toujours les entreprises à gagner en confiance quant à leurs décisions.
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
Parfois, les filtres peuvent être un peu déroutants lors de la sélection des chronologies et lors de la sélection de la ressource exacte pour laquelle vous souhaitez extraire les données.
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
Nous recevons des rapports réguliers sur l'utilisation de la mémoire et du CPU sur notre infrastructure. Nous pouvons ajuster les paramètres de manière à pouvoir accueillir les exigences, l'utilisation et, en retour, prendre de meilleures décisions commerciales.

L'un des meilleurs outils APM sur le marché

  • February 17, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
Instana fournit un outil APM qui favorise la capacité des équipes à observer et analyser les applications distribuées. Ses capacités offrent une analyse approfondie des métriques et des traces dans les applications, avec une intégration facile avec différentes langues.
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
Certaines capacités souhaitées, telles que la surveillance synthétique, ne sont pas entièrement intégrées pour le moment. IBM s'efforce de fournir ces capacités bientôt dans Instana, ce qui renforcera ses capacités de surveillance.
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
Instana fournit une analyse centralisée des métriques, une surveillance des performances des applications et une traçabilité dans un paysage distribué de microservices. Cela permet aux équipes d'avoir des capacités de débogage améliorées.

The top application management tracker - Instana.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
On a single screen, Instana presents the status of the complete architecture. The days of logging into the server box to monitor the Java process, heap space, garbage collection numbers, or other information are long gone. We must keep in mind that all of these call for extra adjustments. But, Instana now bears full accountability for us in our organisation. I neglected to explain that there is also API monitoring. Using this tool allows us to troubleshoot real-time client issues and maintain system stability, among many other benefits. used to keep an eye on our web service integration layer for more than ten years. Always simple to use and modify. When it comes to the features I look for in an APM, Instana provides simplicity and precision.
What do you dislike about the product?
really little to hate. Nevertheless, instana frequently consumes a significant amount of CPU power, making it challenging to debug and certify the project. The INSTANA team's delayed reaction, which can take weeks, is the major issue. It's not a major issue, so I wouldn't say I dislike it, but I don't like that Instana doesn't support installing in Windows because it makes it difficult to obtain the documentation you need. I worry that the tracer integration will force us to use the platform (a variant of Open Tracing). Moreover, there aren't many SDKs available for lesser-known languages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Servers, transactions, the overall infrastructure, and the environment's health are all being monitored. Even some of our mainframe work is being watched by it (integrations mostly). Instana, which comes from tools like Zabbix, enables us to monitor more than just the usual things like CPU, RAM, and storage in order to more thoroughly identify issues. Also, it enables us to spot issues before they arise. I enjoy the notice since it helps me rapidly monitor my surroundings. I enjoy early warning capabilities that let me know when any services, servers, or applications are down and make it simple for me to learn about it while also providing me with an amazing detailed report about it.

Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
La vision de progresser vers la télémétrie ouverte et l'AIOPS, en consolidant tout dans une seule interface, est essentielle pour nous, ce qui aide à réduire le MTTR pour les incidents.
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
- Grande entreprise donc les choses avancent lentement, la personne en charge du compte est extrêmement lente à répondre
- L'interface utilisateur n'est pas du tout intuitive, nécessite plus d'apprentissage
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
Nous donne une visibilité sur nos applications et notre infrastructure dans une seule vue, aide à la corrélation et réduit le MTTR.

Facile installation et instrumentation des métriques

  • February 16, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
Tableau bien distribué, niveau de journaux et performance très bons. De plus, l'instrumentation dans des projets moins complexes ou hérités est très facile.
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
Configurer des projets hérités pour des métriques personnalisées est assez compliqué, car nous trouvons peu d'informations ou d'exemples à ce sujet.
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
nous avons des panneaux de métriques personnalisées, où nous pouvons surveiller l'état de santé de nos applications, en plus des alertes en cas d'incidents, nous utilisons également pour suivre les changements lors des déploiements.
