"With Instana, the interface and the UI are very simple to use.""It is a stable solution.""Its GUI is really good and it easy to understand for non-technical users.""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.""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.""It's great for monitoring services and applications.""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."

Cons
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved.""We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities.""The dashboard needs to improve."

More Avantra Cons →

"The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API.""The App Connect middleware does not integrate with or show corresponding sub nodes.""Maybe log monitoring could be better.""While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality""I think that Instana should improve the university and the certification process, so the users can find experts in Instana with their certification module process.""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.""The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work.""They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options."
