Sometimes, the issue arises from user changes, such as adjusting firewall settings without proper consideration, leading to compatibility issues within the network monitoring.
They could improve the product’s dashboards and provide more dashboard options. Additionally, the server and database monitoring needs enhancement compared to other vendors.

The solution's monitoring is pretty weak and should be improved. Instana Dynamic APM doesn't have logs, a great analytics engine for root cause analysis, and a very deep mobile app. Instana Dynamic APM is like an unfinished APM tool.

The graphical user interface is currently competitive within the APM market. While it is already quite good, there is room for improvement in terms of providing better functionality. They could also enhance the existing Auto-Fix feature to further improve its capabilities.

The API monitoring aspect could be better. The end-user experience monitoring aspect could also be better. They could improve the user experience monitoring from endpoints. They can also improve the product to make it similar to Elasticsearch in terms of detailing the issues or playback, such as: * What happened during the issue? * What went wrong? * What should have happened? 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. They could also work on cloud adoption. More and more people are adapting to the cloud, but I am not sure how Instana is really evolving with regard to the cloud. There might be a roadmap, but I'm not too clear on those aspects.
The integration could be improved with more plugins or open API. In the next release, I'd like to see synthetic monitoring, the ability to deploy Db2 in AS400, and a feature with anomaly detection based on AI.

The configuration of Instana Dynamic APM needs improvement because it requires quite a bit of work. I would like to see the outer discovery and outsource of different services to enable faster roll-outs. This would make it better.

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 need troubleshooting at the code level. It would help with development.

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.
Instana’s Enterprise Observability Platform, powered by automated Application Performance Monitoring, discovers and maps all services, infrastructure, and their inter-dependencies automatically. Instana ingests all observability metrics, traces each request, profiles every process, and updates application dependency maps in real-time to deliver the context and actionable feedback needed by Dev+Ops to optimize application performance, enable innovation, and mitigate risk to help them add value...

The auto-remediation features must be improved. They are not enough. We faced some challenges with AWS monitoring. However, it was resolved.

The solution's SLI and SLA features need improvement in setting up alerts. Also, the GUI for the SLA feature needs enhancement as well.
Maybe log monitoring could be better.
We are always happy to see additional functionalities included.
