Some small functions are missing (e.g. Usermanagement for different tenants), but are well accepted if complained and reviewed/patched!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productive outages of our enviroments, user joures and how to make them better. Faster way of finding bugs and errors without have to access the hosts themselfs
There are lot's of APM tools around, but I like the way Instana is working with the customer

- often new features
- good and frequent contact between Instana and the customer

What do you dislike about the product?
- using Instana for a classic 24/7 On Call Duty isn't the best way. They're doing very well, but it's still an APM tool. You can do it, but it's not the best way for classic infrastructures.
- long time of stability and reliability issues, but they're gone (it has been really worked hard on it)
- sometimes old features get less attention and fail in work during updates of new ones

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any point related with the cons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We want to have our entire infra, based on the AWS cloud, monitored also, and we have multiple Kubernetes clusters that need to be monitored. It is not an easy task.
The developers want to know how many resources they are using, not just the AWS components but the Kubernetes namespaces, and by using Instana they have these insights without the need to ask the SRE team.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you're using Instana's support, and in case you have suggestions, share it with them. They would love to know.
Instana is the tool you need in a constantly changing world
What do you like best about the product?
The one agent installation and autotracing of all our technologies and the one at our clients. They are really close of the clients in order to take back their feedbacks and implement them in the new releases.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of some connections with alerting tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to solve my new releases bugs really fast and avoiding war rooms. Stop guessing.

If you are searching for a product that is up to date to the market needs with a really simple pricing model. You have found your product.
Excellent APM tool

Lacking Dashboarding functionality but i heard that they are releasing soon.

we are using instana to solve our day to day app performance issue.
Instana Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy dashboard. Support for Kubernetes and Openshift. The Node.js Collector is very comprehensive and is kept up-to-date with frequent updates. Nice selection of charts and graphs and most queries are very responsive. I also love that you can bookmark any page and share it or return to it later.
What do you dislike about the product?
GUI changes often and sometimes significantly making navigation difficult because it constantly changes. Sometimes there are too many updates to the instana collector so I find us releasing new versions to constantly stay current.
I also wish there was more long term trending. After 1 month, all data is "estimated" and I find that it becomes pretty worthless because it's so inaccurate.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bottlenecks in software deployments. Refining logging by using the logging summary pages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best instrumentation software out there based on features and price.
Amazing Support
What do you like best about the product?
Their support team, bar none, is the best i've worked with. They go above and beyond to not only answer your question, but use that question to further improve their product.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a good mobile experience. This makes it a bit annoying to show pages from Instana to team members on phones during outages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instana provides us a wholistic view of all of our hosted services and third party dependencies. We have been able to use it to reduce our mean time to diagnose from hours to minuets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend some time understanding OpenTracing/OpenCensus/OpenTelemetry. There is a lot of value in getting custom tracing going with their search tools.

Complete Infrastructrr and Application Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
That instana comes up with a lot o metrics and information without configurations.
What do you dislike about the product?
That the agents need root access to run perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In daily business we benefit from the messages "Disks fill up faster", "Disk will be fill in x Hours".
