What do you like best about the product?
The alarms system is very effective and easy to monitor.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user story is a little messy and sometimes gets lost.

I'm monitoring my Kubernetes cluster with Instana, and the integration with Pagerduty is excellent.

Some alarm systems need to be reviewed. We had some alarms associated with no traffic users that weren't triggered.

One of the Best Go to Suite for Monitoring and Managing your Overall Infra

  • February 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things that I love about Instana is its usability and interface about events, monitoring status, details of API logs, their flow and debugging traces for any failure, and a lot of stuff. For any application, you can see the dependencies (of DBs, other microservices, processes..etc.), overall infrastructure, all other connected services, alerts, support for Kubernetes, AWS, and other platforms, configurations, and overall calls for that particular application. Due to its ease of usage containing all these features, I would highly recommend establishing this tool in an organization for managing their relevant features from the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall from a usability, accessibility, and features point of view, I didn't come across any cons as such to the date. Some of the feature request we would be requesting to add in upcoming years; let's see how that goes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have our entire infrastructure, including running websites, apps, Kubernetes clusters, databases status, applications logs, and failure traces integrated with Instana. On a daily basis, we use it to monitor all the apps of a cross-functional team with their relevant services and apps. Thanks to this platform, monitoring and managing all these services have become hassle-free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are tools out there in the market. And after using this tool for a while now, I'd highly recommend using INSTANA for all your monitoring and managing infra, Kubernetes cluster, applications, and other services across the organization.

GREAT TOOL FOR DEVOPS TEAM

  • February 25, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
With Instana's fully automated application observability, you can make sense of your chaotic cloud-native settings, providing the context you need to take intelligent actions and ensure optimum application performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not good as Datadog because Datadog is the most popular cloud monitoring service. IT, operations, and development teams utilize it to construct and execute applications on dynamic or hybrid cloud infrastructure. With Datadog, you can start monitoring in seconds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remove the burden of manual observability and application monitoring off your Dev+Ops teams.
Relevant metric collecting fully integrated into the Instana Dynamic Graph
Behavioral learning with full AI support
EVERY request generates a trace.
Instana is a tech stack tool in the Performance Monitoring category.

APM with good kubernetes monitoring.

  • February 25, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a visualization suitable for Kubernetes, public/private cloud and IDC.
And you can also check the detailed settings of Kubernetes.
E2E transactions are well visualized, making it easy to monitor MSA services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instana cannot view code at the method level.
There is no function to view log history, extract specific values, save them as metric, and display them.
Automatic installation of DEM is not supported.
To use the AI function, you need to add Watson.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We efficiently checked the link between various applications in the currently deployed Kubernetes environment. We were able to separate and analyze the points of disability using INSTANA.

Amazing experience

  • February 25, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The realtime monitoring and the backend traces are helpful. Very big data management is impressive. Instana js covering every nook and corner of an application. Comparison in with other competitor, Instana is best in its UI and how the data is segregated and presented.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the past traces doesn't have data, instana can try to improve that. Instana can consider adding server logs as a separate section. It would be also helpful if we can see a user flow as a separate one. Mobile view can also be considered adding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Instana for our website monitoring. For any kind of real time issue we are 100% trusting instana for reporting via alerts. Also after reporting , we again trust instana for the insights or data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must try and 100% trust worthy product for incident report and management.

Road to the Observability

  • February 24, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy interface nice map of dependencies it's pretty useful at the moment of point a failure in Kubernetes and VMS
What do you dislike about the product?
The discrepancies on the documentation don't focus on the to-do and focus more on explaining something that maybe we never use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
traceability, enrich user session data, resource monitoring, some benefits about others APMs it's an easy implementation with a low cost licensing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the new APM with the exact boundaries as others pretty useful in Kubernetes, lambdas, and cloud monitoring.
