The Instana difference Ubiquitous automation

Instana uses automation in every part of the platform from instrumentation to discovery, from mapping and grouping all the way to visualizing data, analytics and troubleshooting.

 Application and infrastructure context

Understand and see the context between your infrastructure and service dependencies. With Instana you can immediately understand how issues with one component are affecting other components, enabling you to manage rapid change more effectively.

 Intelligent actions

Use AI-assisted algorithms to pinpoint root causes and take advantage of precise, timely mitigation recommendations and automatic issue remediation to improve productivity.

Predictable and transparent pricing

Pricing is simple, predictable and based on the number of hosts (physical or virtual) being monitored. Teams can use Instana without worrying about surprise charges - users, value-added functionality, applications, services and traces are not add-on charges.
