Low overhead solution giving excellent insight into service workloads
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Instana
IBM Instana has been instrumental in helping my company identify opportunities for performance improvement, which is a key competitive differentiator. The best thing about IBM Instana in production is the amount of time it saves us when investigating performance problems. It immediately highlights where things have changed either positively or negatively saving us valuable analysis time.

- Cut down performance-related tickets to 10 in a day
