## Reviews

### "Best monitoring tool for Kubernetes platform" — 5.0/5

> **Mallayasamy** | *11 October 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall view of erroneous call rate and latency is very useful to find performance issues. We can able to find out exact error calls like 5XX and 4XX calls.
> 
> **Cons**: Request parameter is not implemented  and only available based on endpoints

-----

### "Monitoraggio approfondito dello stato della rete" — 5.0/5

> **Rosa** | *26 September 2023* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: In un unica schermata Instana visualizza lo stato dell’intera architettura permettendo di ottenere varie informazioni velocemente dai processi Java al heap space al monitoraggio delle API. Instana permette di monitorare la stabilità del sistema in tempo reale e intervenire per risolvere problemi. Semplice, preciso e facile da utilizzare.
> 
> **Cons**: Il consumo di CPU è spesso eccessivo, specialmente nelle operazioni debug. Il Team di Instana è lento a fornire risposte, settimane di solito e questo rallenta di molto il processo di installazione e configurazione.
> 
> Monitori i server, le transazione avvenute sul sito, l’intera infrastruttura dello stesso e il suo stato di salute. Monitora anche il mainframe, CPU, RAM e storage per identificare problemi in modo più veloce e di dettaglio. Questo monitoraggio profondo consente di prevenire i problemi, anticipando gli interventi prima che si verifichino. Le funzionalità di allarme sono molto utili, segnalano pezzi di server inattivo e forniscono un rapporto dettagliato dell’errore semplificando la risoluzione.

Purpose-built for cloud-native systems (while also supporting legacy architectures), Instana automatically and continuously provides high fidelity data —1-second granularity metrics and an end-to-end trace of every request with zero sampling — along with the context of all inter-dependencies (application, infrastructure, physical, virtual, cloud, users, etc.) \n\nIBM Instana allows users to never miss a problem, no matter how small – and gives them all the data they need to find and fix problems quickly. Instana even points to the exact component and moment when the component triggered service issues,\n\nWith immediate feedback, Instana helps organizations achieve more frequent deployments and ensures issues are identified before they impact end users. Configurable unique Smart Alerts further enable proactive performance management by automatically learning about standard behaviors from not just the applications, but also from operations, reducing active alerts being generated for expected updates/outages – while also connecting all information to figure out if a problem is just beginning.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/82bdbd3a-83c2-451d-b5d4-e2dd12a25996.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2071894/ibm-instana","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2071894/ibm-instana#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingValue":4.2,"ratingCount":6},"offers":{"price":"75","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2071894/ibm-instana#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Network Monitoring Tools","position":2,"item":"/directory/480/network-monitoring/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"IBM Instana","position":3,"item":"/software/2071894/ibm-instana","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
