Instana vs TraceView: What are the differences?
Developers describe Instana as "Automatic Application and Infrastructure Monitoring". Instana is the Application Performance Management solution for modern dynamic applications, using automation and AI to manage their service quality. On the other hand, TraceView is detailed as "Ridiculously Detailed Application Monitoring". Expose everything, from the webserver to database, cache and API calls. The core technology is based on X-Trace, a distributed tracing framework that’s served as the inspiration for companies like Google and Twitter.
Instana and TraceView can be primarily classified as "Performance Monitoring" tools.
Some of the features offered by Instana are:
- Full integration into the Instana Dynamic Graph
- Relevant metric collection
- Fully AI enabled behavioral learning
On the other hand, TraceView provides the following key features:
- Track every machine involved in a transaction and identify bottlenecks in a single click.
- Isolate interesting calls and drill down to the line of code and machine it ran on.
- Tie together code and infrastructure metrics with database, service, and cache calls, all in the context of a single transaction.
