Overall Satisfaction with IBM Instana

We are using IBM Instana for monitoring stat of Kubernetes Cluster and VMs. Initially, whenever there was issue, we had to look for metric and log manually which was very hectic and it was not consolidated and it used to become very tough of tracking all apps in single place but with use of IBM Instana, it has become very easy for us. we can get all API calls details, errror rate, number of pods , event chnage,alerts all from single tool.

New Relic has it's own perks but when it comes to large infrastructure, we always face some issue at stability but IBM Instana never fails here. In my opinion, Inbuilt dashboard and inbuilt alerting feature what makes IBM Instana better than compared to other tools. I think mobile apps monitoring etc are very very cool feature of IBM Instana.

As per our use case, it can be used widely across multiple solutions like K8s,VMs, Big data monitoring. In my opinion, UI also very simple to understand and makes it very easy to implement and customise. App monitoring like AWS RDS or S3 bucket also add some extra advantage.support with 3rd party alerting tools also make it worthy than other tools.
