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.
  • Monitors heavily utilized Oracle databases in great detail around the clock while incurring only a tiny overhead
  • Provides graphical views of resource usage over time that show exactly where server resources are being consumed by various applications
  • Helps with performance comparison analysis across different time periods and/or different database instances
  • Bit slow when there are millions of logs I've found.
  • Filters to filter the logs
  • Alarms which can send notifications
  • Visualization
  • Monitoring and auditing to keep check on the complete infrastructure & its components
  • The tool has reduced diagnosis time by 37%
  • Cut down performance-related tickets to 10 in a day
  • We are proactively alerted should performance deviate in our environment
We chose IBM Instana for several reasons, and the most important one is that we didn't have to make changes in our code for nearly all of our applications for it to work. We are happy with the decision we made to use IBM Instana.
