Monitoring solution you should try.
Overall Satisfaction with IBM Instana
Instana was the perfect solution for my case. After one and a half years, I can say it's more efficient and reliable in the IT department daily. It will help you gain deep insights into performance issues across multiple sites and companies. It detects slow database queries, inefficient code, or communication problems between services.
Pros
- It detects slow database queries, inefficient code, or communication problems between services.
- Allows you to proactively identify issues like network bottlenecks or server resource exhaustion before they cause disruptions.
- You can correlate network issues or infrastructure downtime with specific application performance problems.
Cons
- Instana’s interface and depth of features can be overwhelming for new users.
- Instana's pricing model, often geared toward enterprise environments, may not scale well for smaller organizations or those with limited budgets.
- One of Instana’s core strengths is its real-time monitoring and automatic root-cause analysis, which helps detect issues before they escalate into critical failures.
- Provides deep insights into application performance, monitoring everything from code-level performance to infrastructure interactions.
- Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Prometheus
