Also the nice webinars.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup on endclients. To get it work you have to be on the client and setup it manualy. Also, you have to consider, if it's 32 or 64bit system. This could be easier, at least for endclients (desktop PCs etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm responsible for the frontend support. We can easy realize, how often the issue occured and how long it went on.
Best APM after struggling with others
What do you like best about the product?
Instana has really made life easier. After trying super costly APM like AppDynamics and Buggy New Relic, Instana makes things easier

The UI I feel can still be improvised. Node JS monitoring can provide more details, like Database connections etc in a better way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Instana to monitor our Kubernetes Cluster. The biggest benefit is we don't need to configure apps now. It just picks them up. This saves time.
