Great Application Performance Monitor!

  • January 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a support manager, trying to understand our platform performance a key for success. Understanding flow, usage, and performance for each user is critical when troubleshooting. With minimal details, we can trace and narrow down issues for our users very easily and quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
While we got used to the classic view and created our workflows, the new interface took some time to retrain our staff and had to go through retaining for the team members. But with some short training and helpful staff at Instana, we were able to get back to full speed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a cloud based platform, we have many areas to review for any issues our users encountered. End users, cloud, our own applications and tools. Looking at each individual component doesn't always help us understand the issue. With Instana, it gives us the whole picture view, from usage and flow and how each input from end user to cloud to query and how much time each piece is consuming is a great help for our trouble shooting.
