Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself."
"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."
"Instana is very fast to implement and deploy because the dashboards are automated and don't need configuration."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation."
"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."
"With auto-discovery, we didn't need to consider much. We just installed the agent on the host and it was able to detect everything from the host level up to the service level, for whatever stack was installed, and that includes containers and dockers."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"I think that Instana should improve the university and the certification process, so the users can find experts in Instana with their certification module process."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"We should be able to go back to scenarios during or before the issue. There should be something like a history playback. Such a feature or functionality would be good."
"Its SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
