Keeps 100% of Trace requests
So you will always
have the information you need unlike other tools that sample data and then lack
full visibility, often at the time it matters most
Minimal configuration
Instana has been
built to use as much automation and self discovering as possible, reducing the
time taken to deploy, configure and become useful. These same features also ensure that Instana
continually understands changes within your environment, adapting its
monitoring and reducing the traditional headache of maintenance
Dynamic Graph
Instana knows the
complex interrelationships between all entities from services to JVMs, as well
as processes, containers, hosts, clusters on which your applications depend.
This makes it easy to navigate through your technology stack to find and fix
performance bottlenecks
Cloud Native
Instana has been built for
microservices and cloud-native applications such as those running in containers
orchestrated by Kubernetes from day 1. The way in which Instana has embraced
this new way of doing IT means its users have a real advantage of more
traditional APM solutions
100+ Sensors
Instana already supports an
ecosystem of hundreds technologies with key performance metrics and built-in
knowledge about each of them. This pretty much guarantees that as a customer
you will be up and running quickly, with Instana neatly co-existing with your
other chosen tools. There is no need to start again.
One agent
No need for multiple agents
on a single server. Instana has a single
agent that once deploys pulls in and configures the correct monitoring based on
the technologies you are using. It the closest thing to ‘fire and forget’ we’ve
seen in 20 years of working in the APM space!
Real time
You can see what is
happening right now and the impact of any changes or deployments instantly. No
need to wait minutes to see the impact of a change! When troubleshooting a
problem or validating a new deployment, waiting several minutes for monitoring
data can seem like a lifetime.
1s granularity
This is a big deal. Tools
which aggregate metric data to 1min or more miss the detail of short lived spikes in performance.
With Instana there is no risk that you will miss the data you need to get on
and fix a problem
Long data retention
Instana keeps detailed
data for longer so that its still possible to troubleshoot problems days after
the event. Unlike other tools where the detailed traces or granular metric data
is lost after 1 day, Instana keeps full data for 7 days before rolling up. You
no longer need to worry about being able to troubleshoot a problem on a Monday
that occurred on Friday.
Real User Monitoring
Trace 100% of browser
requests and link them to 100% of the server side traces, for end-to-end
understanding and context. Even better news is that Instana included its RUM
monitoring at no additional cost when you purchase its APM agents.
