IBM Instana is the gold standard of incident prevention with automated full-stack visibility, 1-second granularity and 3 seconds to notify. With today’s highly dynamic and complex cloud environments, the average cost of an hour of downtime can reach six figures and beyond. Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools simply aren’t fast enough to keep up or thorough enough to contextualize the issues identified. Also, they are typically limited to super users who must complete months of training to learn. IBM Instana Observability goes beyond traditional APM solutions by democratizing observability so anyone across DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps and development can get the data they want with the context they need. Instana Dynamic APM operates using the Instana agent architecture, which incorporates sensors—lightweight, automated programs tailored to monitor specific entities.
