Fast insightful information while troubleshooting

  • November 16, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Automatically discover a lot of precious information to drive problem analysis, any new technology we introduce, our Instana installation is able to detect it and provide us with details of the running services
What do you dislike about the product?
Agents inside cluster workers are resource hungry, this should be carefully considered because you need to plan upfront spare resources to account for this additional load
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Modern architectures applications involve a lot of eterogeneous collaborating services so troubleshooting can be very complex without the right tools like Instana

A powerful and holistic tool - with a steeper learning curve than others

  • November 15, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The feature-richness. Tracing requests across service boundaries and retrieving information about the corresponding context, runtime, and tech stack work pretty well, and there are many other things you can do.
What do you dislike about the product?
The feature-richness. It can be and for me sometimes still is a bit overwhelming. The UI is good, but even with a good UI, it can be a bit strenuous to get the relevant information and dig through the tech stacks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It meets the need for a holistic, all-in-one tracing and APM solution. As a software engineer, I'm primarily using it for debugging incoming requests throughout the architecture.

Powerful tool once set up, good for app monitoring

  • November 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Instana is a powerful tool once it is set up. I like to use it to monitor my apps, their resource usage and performance, and trace HTTP calls. Good for filtering successful 200 calls and unsuccessful HTTP statuses too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that sometimes Instana crashes, so then I lose some monitoring for a period of time although this is a rare occasion. Sometimes if the HTTP requests aren't frequent / continuous, then Instana doesn't pick it up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instana allows me to easily view the health of my Kubernetes clusters and see how the pods are performing across different groups. This means that we can quickly resolve any issues if the services become offline because of e.g. too much memory usage.

A easy and efficient way to track and Debug

  • November 08, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and understand the functionality. In our scenario, it's beneficial to debug an issue to check the logs of what calls are made and what's wrong with it. Also, while running the load test, we can see on runtime the count of request handling by the server and the information of error and successful calls
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike. However, instana usually takes a lot of CPU usage, making it difficult to debug and certify the project. The biggest problem is that the INSTANA team's slow response sometimes takes weeks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Even with a slow response, if the problem is raised to the team, they do solve it by providing the new versions, sometimes old versions too. Usually, our issue includes noot capturing the desired points and CPU usage.

It is so helpful with logs and narrowing down when or where the incident started
What do you dislike about the product?
kind of a high learning curve for me and my peers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The full reporting enables us to better manage our deployments

Easy installed, easy used.

  • November 07, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a system administrator providing Instana to the developers and using it myself for operational purposes, it gives direct insight into what is happening in the application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sorry, there is nothing I dislike. It's an awesome product easing my life.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding internal communication flow and identifying dependencies that result in erroneous or slow responses. Hereby I can solve more problems in less time with higher resolution quality.

Instana will make your tracing remarkably better *if implemented correctly*

  • November 04, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The UI is incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate. Moving from pages to back-end traces makes finding errors much faster and provides more meaningful context than logs alone.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be somewhat challenging to find what I'm looking for. This may be an implementation detail that DevOps should improve, but it takes a bit more training than I would've expected to be proficient with this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instana makes it easy to find services in our distributed system. We have been able to improve our MTTR since implementing this tool which helps developers, operations and our end-users feel more confident in our products.
