Best IT Infrastructure Monitoring Tools for IBM Cloud

IBM®, Instana®, is the gold-standard of incident prevention. It offers automated full-stack transparency, 1-second granularity, and 3-second notification. In today's highly complex and dynamic cloud environments, an hour of downtime could cost you six figures or more. Traditional application performance monitoring tools (APMs) are not fast enough to keep pace or comprehensive enough to contextualize issues identified. They are also typically only available to super users, who must undergo months of training. IBM Instana Observability is a solution that goes beyond traditional APM by democratizing observability. Anyone in DevOps or SRE, Platform Engineering, ITOps, and Development can access the data they need with the context needed. Instana delivers high-fidelity data with a 1-second granularity, and end-toend traces, as well as the context of logical, physical, and mobile dependencies, across applications, web, and infrastructure.
