"Impressive and game changer!"

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Instana?

Instana is really straight-forward regarding configuration: you just need to install the agent in a node level and it is done. The main point that made Instana our choice is that it was the only solution that fit to our product scale, considering that its price is based on how many nodes do you have in your cluster, and not in how many pods do you have. I am really satisfied with all the features it have delivered us and also with the improvement it has brought to our troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Instana?

The only thing is that you need to think in a annual scaling when considering to use Instana. The pricing is calculated in a annual basis, so you need to consider your cost forecast and architecture sizing in order to invest properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
