The SaaS option reduces implementation time because the only step required is installing the agents. Depending on your infrastructure, it can be simpler if you have access to the backend address and port, as a few simple commands will allow you to install all the agents. Sensors are deployed automatically, meaning only one agent per server is needed. By following the documentation, you may encounter certain technologies that require adjustments to send or generate trace information. However, if you follow the instructions, you'll quickly see the dependency maps generated automatically.

When I started using the application, some features were not available, such as log monitoring and the ability to create alerts based on logs. We submitted an idea, and the support team informed us that it was being considered. Now, these features are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first started using the application in SaaS mode, the look and feel were different compared to today. The navigation bar and menus have changed, and now the application feels heavier, taking longer to load and feeling slower overall

The Integration with Cognos Analytics is not easier as with Grafana, documentation for this integration was not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a powerful and easy-to-use observability solution that is constantly innovating.

Its intuitive and lightweight interface provides the information we need to gain visibility into ecosystems that are increasingly complex and expansive.

The ability to contextualize and correlate elements of a transaction allows us to discover where and what the likely cause of the failure is, as well as the possibility to create native or integration-based automatic actions.

The IBM support community is available to assist us with questions and special configurations of our environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is focused on modern technologies, and legacy systems in our environment are not yet fully supported, although important legacy platforms have been added to the catalog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Instana is its real-time, full-stack monitoring and automatic instrumentation, which makes it easy to set up and provides comprehensive visibility across complex, dynamic environments. The platform's intuitive user interface and smart alerting system are also standout features, making it easier to quickly identify and resolve performance issues. In my project , I frequently use instana for monitoring the services and the customer support also response quickely and positively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A common dislike about Instana is its pricing, which can be high for smaller organizations or those with extensive monitoring needs. Some users also find the platform has a learning curve, especially for those new to APM tools or working in less complex environments. Additionally, while it provides comprehensive monitoring, some advanced customization options might be limited compared to other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The good thing is we can moniotor errors, alerts by just filtering a specific container within a time frame and the good part is it's UI.

It is best for monitoring or extracting error logs or alerts as it shows color red and green.

Can filter by endpoints so it shows only related calls.

Easy to use

Alerts for any error calls with detailed metrics and time which is very good for developer while analysing bug issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

when open any link to analyse log, then if we do back then it goes to entire back page because of which have to scroll it again till the previous call.

Sometime it is confusing to analyse because of all things are in same dashboard so unable to understand whether it is relevant error calls or data.

Some tutorials would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visualization of different parameter is very insightfull and also filtering and grouping feature to breakdown analysis further for deeper understading of issues. I use instana on daily basis because it is very easy to implement custome dashboards and integration with other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found little bit lagging i,e real time data is not available of cloud infrastructure. Customer care unit of IBM instana should be more robust Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
