We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. 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. 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. | The diagnostics and configuration are the solution's most valuable aspects. |
Cons | |
New Relic has a better UI in terms of how it presents the data. 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 interface is very old, and not very user-friendly. Most of our clients don't like the UI. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Pricing is quite competitive. Dynatrace, AppDynamics, and New Relic were all several times more expensive than Instana, both the on-prem and the SaaS versions. Price-wise they are a lot more competitive than anyone else out there. | Information Not Available |
