One of the best avaliable APM, tracing and analysis tool

The Best to capture the API calls
What do you like best about the product?
1.As used one year , This is the best software to capture the API call requests.
2.As a software test Engineer, We should know the reason for failures when the API doesn't work. Using Instana is helps us a lot to analyze the logs for failed API calls
3.We can use LIVE option to track the calls that triggering in real time
4.Best thing is we can filter the calls by date, time, year etc... Which is must needed
5.Using Instana is reduced the extra time effort to analyze the API failures
