The solution has a good auto-instrumentation feature, but its monitoring is pretty weak

We use Instana Dynamic APM to do application monitoring for the OpenShift Container Platform Instana Dynamic APM gave us insight when there wasn't a lot of stuff on the market. The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation. The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Instana is very fast to implement and deploy because the dashboards are automated and don't need configuration."

"We can easily perform root cause analysis using the tool."

"Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users."

"The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."

"It's great for monitoring services and applications."

"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to monitor the performance of containers for request and response analysis."

"It is a stable solution."

"If a key monitored value has crossed a threshold, it sends out an alert. And the solution is able to intelligently find out if something is beyond the range that it normally resides in."

More Instana Dynamic APM pros

"The stability has been very good over the years."

"Automates processes and allows reports and statistics to improve the speed at which changes and assets are managed."

Cons

"Maybe log monitoring could be better."

"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."

"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."

"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."

"The App Connect middleware does not integrate with or show corresponding sub nodes."

"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"

"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."

"The auto-remediation features must be improved."

More Instana Dynamic APM cons

"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect. Having better documentation will allow business analysts and data center personnel to rely on the Micro Focus help desk less."

"The solution should offer better integration with other tools from a service management perspective."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is comparable to other products."

"Instana Dynamic APM is more affordable for small and medium-sized companies compared to other vendors."

"Pricing is quite competitive. Dynatrace, AppDynamics, and New Relic were all several times more expensive than Instana, both the on-prem and the SaaS versions. Price-wise they are a lot more competitive than anyone else out there."

"It's reasonably priced and manageable, especially for individuals who grasp the significance of application monitoring."

"Its pricing isn't a big pain point. Its pricing seems to be better than some of the other competing products in the market, but they also have some of the features and functionalities that are better than Instana."

"The pricing is $1,200 per year which is a bit high compared to other vendors."

"The solution is less expensive than one of its competitors."
