What a relief after searching for a great monitor program!!

  • February 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • February 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Innovative app for monitoring

  • November 25, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very refreshing and colorful. It portrays a modern look and is very interesting to browse.
The monitoring alerts are helpful to resolve issues on time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some names could be quite confusing unless we have full knowledge of all the instances listed.
A document to read everything with simple yet understandable details could help new users understand better.
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.

Instana Makes It easy

  • November 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Instana is a well-built system used to detect and identify the problems that occur in the network.
It makes finding those issues so easy and convenient and provides a whole lot of analytics about the problem. From the time it started to its running duration, the total number of other services impacted by the problem occurred. And most importantly, the severity of the issue.
Hence saves time and eliminates the manual work required in finding all the details as mentioned earlier.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no such thing that I wouldn't say I dislike much about Instana. It's just too complicated when you start initially, but later with time as a user, it's easy to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Instana in my work as an IT professional to find the real-time flaws/problem occurring in the backend of the whole Adidas network system.
I also use it for analytics of those problems.

Instana is savior when it comes to providing alerts in real time.

  • November 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Instana is a real savior when it comes to monitoring in real-time. The tool helps us to find and recognize the issues that are occurring at a given point in time.
The upside of Instana is the wide range of topics that it covers. It gives alerts on the severity of the issue, when it triggered , running duration, and the affected entities.
Overall it provides a whole lot of information bout an issue occoured.
And hence, saves a whole lot of time and effort from a user point of view.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instana is a well-built portal, but I'm not too fond of the UI of the Instana portal.
It could have been better in terms of its aesthetics. The left-hand menu bar could be removed from there and could get converted into a collapsible drop-down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using the Instana tool to help us identify and recognize the problems in Adidas Network.
Instana alerts about the ongoing issues in the network and helps us to solve them before the problem becomes a significant issue for us.
