Overall Satisfaction with IBM Instana

In our organization, IBM Instana is used for Application Performance Monitoring of mission-critical systems

Pros

  • Ease of deployment
  • Ease of navigation
  • Providing probable root cause

Cons

  • Dashboard security
  • Displaying data that are more than 30 days
  • Recovery actions
  • Time saving for root cause analysis
  • Proactive monitoring
  • Increased application reliability
I think the most valuable capabilities of IBM Instana are Application Performance Management and End-to-end monitoring of transactions.
In my experience, IBM Instana capabilities allow us to do Transaction monitoring, which we could not do before.
