Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Product performance is awesome. It's covering all aspects of the application; good database metrics and internal application metrics. Just tons and tons of data."
"In terms of stability, it has been stable so far."
"Deep Dive and Transaction Analysis Triage capability."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...there is a very easy way to deal with it by adding more servers to the application."
"We are able to easily and quickly find some of the problems with the applications and coding, and some of the performance problems."
"It has a random transaction trace which gives our customers the ability to look at how their transaction performs."
"Our development cycle has definitely improved as far as the turnaround time on fixes and improvements."
"Command center is a new feature that provides agent maintenance and support without involving the application team. It saves lots of time for APM team."
"It's great for monitoring services and applications."
"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."
"The overall capabilities are the most valuable."
"Instana is very fast to implement and deploy because the dashboards are automated and don't need configuration."
"The detailing of our application behavior and user experience is most valuable. In case there is an issue, we typically use Instana to figure it out. We can drill down to the application and figure out what's going on and where the issue is."
"Sometimes it's able to provide a proper RCA on its own. It's able to correlate different events that occurred and that becomes like an RCA in itself."
"Visually, it's very good. It provides everything needed for dynamic detection, which is very useful."
"The primary selling point of this product is its unparalleled transparency into the infrastructure."
"We enountered stability issues. They were mitigated by performance tuning within infrastructure."
"Improve the targeting interface is to make it more user-friendly and current."
"The front-end representation should match other competitors such as AppDynamics."
"As applications move to the cloud, we need more cloud-based solutions from CA APM. This is currently unavailable."
"You can sell licenses and install the full tool on service, you can show customers how to install, but how to use it and solve issues cannot be done without the experience."
"The stability could be more reliable."
"Technical support is slow to respond and also asks redundant questions."
"In order for the tool to be successful, at least in our organization, it will need to have more self-serve features for implementation, instrumentation, and then modification of metric data from the APM."
"We'd always like to see additional functionalities."
"The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved."
"While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality"
"New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data."
"Maybe log monitoring could be better."
"Many managers, as well as our customers, used to ask for reports, such as "top X number of queries that are slow," or "top pages that have the highest number of issues." This is something that can be improved by Instana. Currently, they don't have that kind of reporting available out-of-the-box."
"The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work."
"We should be able to go back to scenarios during or before the issue. There should be something like a history playback. Such a feature or functionality would be good."
