IBM Instana
IBM Instana sets the benchmark for incident prevention, offering comprehensive full-stack visibility with one-second precision and a notification time of just three seconds.
In the current landscape of rapidly evolving and intricate cloud infrastructures, the financial repercussions of an hour of downtime can soar into the six-figure range or more. Conventional application performance monitoring (APM) tools often fall short, lacking the speed and depth required to effectively address and contextualize technical issues, and they usually necessitate extensive training for super users before they can be utilized effectively.
In contrast, IBM Instana Observability transcends the limitations of standard APM tools by making observability accessible to a wider audience, enabling individuals from DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps, and development teams to obtain the necessary data and context without barriers.
The Instana Dynamic APM functions through a specialized agent architecture, utilizing sensors—automated, lightweight programs specifically designed to monitor particular entities and ensure optimal performance. As a result, organizations can respond to incidents proactively and maintain a higher level of service continuity.
