Instana - The Go To Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Instana brings us the status of the entire architecture on one screen. Gone are the days we had to log into the server box and check the java process, heap space, garbage collection stats, or whatever. We got to remember that all these require some additional settings too. But now, for us in our organisation, the entire responsibility is owned by Instana. Forgot to mention this has API monitoring too. There are many more advantages of using this tool, which helps us debug live customer issues and ensure system stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we have multiple docker containers in one server, sometimes I find it challenging to go down and trace a particular node from that set. Probably an even more user friendly zoom-in and click-through will be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As said above, monitoring and tracing back is absolutely made simple with the help of Instana. Instana reaps us a lot of developer productivity and enables a quicker turn around time for our customers.

Very useful tool for monitoring and analyzing issues
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive UI ensures productivity from day one. It offers a very easy way to drill down to the details of API calls from a higher-level view.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be better in some cases if it could help capture network traffic or API requests/responses for error diagnosis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
System monitoring. Issue identification and analysis. It saves a lot of time for the development team by bringing the team close to the core problem area.
Easy to setup, simple pricing model
What do you like best about the product?
When we were looking for a solution,almost all pricing models in the market were complex and scary. Some asked for huge payments in front, some had too many variables. Instana has a very simple and predictable pricing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the agents and alerts are easy but a step by step guide for the interface would be great. We needed to spend some time to get used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring our apps, the infrastrusture and resources effectively. We are informed about the potential issues and incidents. It is good to be aware of the problems and bottleneck before your clients.
Could an APM be this user friendly?
What do you like best about the product?
Easy access to throughput, latencies, errors etc. Great visual representations via graphs and an excellent drill-down mechanism to debug erroneous calls and slow transactions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Analyse calls feature could be made more user-friendly. Apart from this, everything else is just awesome. I have tried other APMs like new relic and app dynamics, but instana stands out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instana is a great APM. It helps me track my services, evaluate their performance and work on making them better. It's easy to integrate with any production-ready application.
Super powerful monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
The dashboards are easy to understand and navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve, and the amount of information can be overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gives us the ability to monitor and observe our software applications. This benefits us in understanding what is working and what is not, and where there is room for improvement.
Powerfull yet easy to use, a "must have" tool for every SRE, Cloud Engineer or Sysadmin
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to deploy, automatic discovery, automatic correlation and context guide. Also the smart alerts and analytical capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of logging analytics (yet). lack of the ability to ingest metrics directly from OTEL sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to find what things did change and how they are affecting our service levels. Quickly pinpoints root cause. Analytics help to optimize code and detect bottlenecks.
Instana is great at tracing issues and monitoring our stack
What do you like best about the product?
The ease with which I am able to trace issues through our stack. I find a new problem and can track the request as it goes through our services and locate the ultimate source. I also enjoy the ability to customize the traces.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using instana for frontend issues hasn't been quite as useful. Love it for backend stuff.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Insight and debugging. We know when we have issues and we know more quickly how to resolve them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instana helps to keep a check on the API health, it's a clear graph shows the percentiles and error rates, it is the first thing we check if we encounter some error because it's very good for the high-level metric tracking and can tell you if everything is going the right way.

I don't dislike anything in particular at the moment.
