An A1 tool for monitoring teams
What do you like best about the product?
When coordinating a team that is not yet engaged, it is helpful to monitor a system that consists of different services. Also, its monitoring system has been enhanced, and I feel it is the most comprehensive one I have used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instana may take some time to learn or get used to the program's language. So, the cost must include adaptation and learning period. It isn't a big problem. I like this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Regarding the graphs and reports that the program issues, we use them regularly in internal team meetings. We want to analyze situations and make decisions that are necessary to improve the company's number.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't be so apprehensive about how complicated the interface might seem first. You can search tutorials on YouTube or talk with technical support to clear your doubts.
What a relief after searching for a great monitor program!!
What do you like best about the product?
The intricacies and ease (smoothness) of usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The same things that I love about Instana can also be small stumbling blocks. For instance, when code shows up that I am not familiar with. I am sure we will use this to our advantage however, as time goes on and we tackle this learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainely hopefully FINALLY finding a program that can monitor (and of course soo much more!).
An excellent tool forour internl processes and developing client projects
What do you like best about the product?
We can individually track each application we monitor with Instana. Its speed for reporting every error that occurs. It is handy to monitor a system composed of different services, especially if the teamwork is not clean.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes isn't easy to digest the large amount of data provided in real-time.
Its weakly reports about the health of the applications are poor. I prefer check daily reports.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to monitor all our cloud applications and servers. It is also helpful to keep one eye on our VMs because their CPU performance tends to drop during optimization tests.
On the other hand, we use Instana when optimizing the loading speed and user experience of the applications and pages that we develop for our clients.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please, talk to someone who has already used Instana or contact technical support. It is not complex software, but it is overhelming at firts.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some names could be quite confusing unless we have full knowledge of all the instances listed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deal with store operations, and we often get Instana alerts that ensure that our production services are stable.
We also use the frequency results for our reports in our internal meetings to analyze and take necessary decisions to improve the statistics.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Instana website is very interesting to browse and if you have time to kill, you can discover and learn many new topics.
It is also a good idea to ask someone who has worked and used Instana to understand the instances to a greater extent.
Instana can definitely be used to learn trends/frequencies and especially to monitor our services. It's very useful to be prepared in advance for any technical failures.
