Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a flexible APM solution that can be deployed across multiple applications."

"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."

"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."

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

"It is user-friendly, but we encounter issues processing input and understanding the graphics, such as seeing a flatline without knowing the cause. When these problems occur, I have to contact my support team to address and fix them. Also, monitoring processing is good."

"It's a good tool to implement across the board if you can make it into your images or as part of your configuration management tool."

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

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

"The most valuable features are the monitoring with granularity by one second, which allows real-time data generation, and the fast implementation."

Cons

"Scaling out requires the added cost of multiple servers, and we don't have plans to do that."

"The auto-remediation features must be improved."

"Maybe log monitoring could be better."

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

"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."

"Sometimes, the issue arises from user changes, such as adjusting firewall settings without proper consideration, leading to compatibility issues within the network monitoring."

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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