Question

Which would you choose: Instana, New Relic or Grafana?

Hi Peers,

We have microservices and non-microservices to monitor. We are considering Instana, New Relic, and Grafana Cloud for this task. We want to monitor apps and the underlying machines that run on them to troubleshoot as well as monitor and alert. Any experience in using these tools would give me a more clear picture than months of researching with POCs. Can anyone shed some light on these tools?

Thank you for your time.

I have worked with a lot of APM tools like Instana, New Relic, and Grafana, I prefer Instana because it is easy to install, and the configuration is very simple but more importantly, it provides what I need to find a solution to a problem. With the integration of Turbonomic, we save a lot on cloud costs of well due cost AI and automation. New Relic and Grafana are also great, but I love the integration with IBM APM it provides us with a lot of information. The problem with Grafana for us was the lack of DB2 support only in an enterprise version possible.

Hello Srinivasa, I am afraid we would need more context. The term output relates to what your application produces when it completes a process from a specified input. If you meant throughput, thats a different matter. Even this may not be what you want or all you want. For us to assist properly, please provide the following: Where is it deployed? What's the tech stack? Open Source Monitoring or Licensed?

This depends if you need infrastructure monitoring, Network, or transaction and do you need total observability and cost savings integrated.

Analyze the wave of product at Gartner Hype Cycle. EDR was good in the past. After that, MDR joined the hype and now, XDR is the trend. Wait for more in a couple of months and (sic) know the ZDR!
