Monitoraggio approfondito dello stato della rete

Monitori i server, le transazione avvenute sul sito, l’intera infrastruttura dello stesso e il suo stato di salute. Monitora anche il mainframe, CPU, RAM e storage per identificare problemi in modo più veloce e di dettaglio. Questo monitoraggio profondo consente di prevenire i problemi, anticipando gli interventi prima che si verifichino. Le funzionalità di allarme sono molto utili, segnalano pezzi di server inattivo e forniscono un rapporto dettagliato dell’errore semplificando la risoluzione.

PROS

In un unica schermata Instana visualizza lo stato dell’intera architettura permettendo di ottenere varie informazioni velocemente dai processi Java al heap space al monitoraggio delle API. Instana permette di monitorare la stabilità del sistema in tempo reale e intervenire per risolvere problemi. Semplice, preciso e facile da utilizzare.

CONS

Il consumo di CPU è spesso eccessivo, specialmente nelle operazioni debug. Il Team di Instana è lento a fornire risposte, settimane di solito e questo rallenta di molto il processo di installazione e configurazione.

Reasons for switching to IBM Instana

Il livello di monitoraggio e le funzioni offerte da Instana risultano superiori.

A serious New Relic competitor with some work

PROS

Instana looks great on the outside: features, pricing, etc. and it is, if you can implement it.

CONS

We found Instana has issues running in Docker environments, and their integration docs for APM were less than intuitive.
