NETSCOUT Network & Application Observability vs. IBM Instana

NETSCOUT’s Network & Application Observability solution is engineered for IT practitioners who need deep, real-time visibility into complex hybrid environments. Whether you're managing a sprawling data center, a multi-cloud deployment, 5G deployment, or a remote workforce, this solution delivers the actionable intelligence required to maintain performance, availability, and user experience across every layer of your infrastructure. At its core, NETSCOUT leverages Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to convert raw network traffic into smart data.

IBM Instana, now part of the Concert platform, 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 DevOps to optimize application performance, enable innovation and mitigate risk to help them add value and efficiency to the pipeline. IBM Instana is available on AWS Marketplace.
