"The most valuable feature of Instana Dynamic APM is auto-instrumentation."
"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use."
"With auto-discovery, we didn't need to consider much. We just installed the agent on the host and it was able to detect everything from the host level up to the service level, for whatever stack was installed, and that includes containers and dockers."
"If a key monitored value has crossed a threshold, it sends out an alert. And the solution is able to intelligently find out if something is beyond the range that it normally resides in."

I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"The solution must improve security and setup."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."

"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API."
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
