Overview
Instabug is a third-party mobile observability platform that enables you to monitor, prioritize, and debug performance and stability issues throughout the entire mobile app development lifecycle.
Purpose-built to enable more effective problem resolution, Instabug gives your development teams the capability to:
- Debug and fix issues faster. One of the most robust bug reporting tools for mobile development, Instabug can make it easier for your testers and users to submit bugs and get the details your teams need to investigate, understand, and quickly fix issues and improve your app quality.
- Diagnose and handle errors in production. Instabug's agility enables your teams to save time and quickly discover the reasons why your app is crashing with detailed reports built by developers for developers. Your teams can stay better connected with the capability to open a communication channel with users, enabling affected users to report bugs and unexpected behavior in the application. Accelerating problem resolution time, your teams can inform users about fix status. These features empower your development teams to better manage and strengthen the stability and performance of your app.
- Enhance the quality of your user experience. Instabug is designed to help you identify, manage, or resolve critical issues affecting your users' experience before they are reported. With the help of mobile-focused performance metrics, your development teams can confidently prioritize between fixing issues and building new features, spend less time debugging, and identify the exact conditions leading to performance issues. Instabug also provides product teams with the capability to send surveys to clients.
- Accelerate problem resolution with support for multiple platforms. Designed for robust platform support, Instabug can observe applications that are written in multiple platforms, such as iOS, Android, Xamarin, React native, Flutter, and Cordova mobile apps.
Integration with Instana® for faster problem resolution
When integrated with Instana application performance management software, Instabug continues to make the back-end information available, which reduces the time for development teams to understand if the performance degradation or the crash experienced in the app is the result of a new faulty back-end deployment, a problem in the back-end infrastructure, or a pure front-end issue. With this information, the team analyzing the issue can identify the issue and the parties involved to immediately take action in solving the problem.

Statement of good security practices
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through intrusion prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a regulatory compliant, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective.
Important: IBM does not warrant that any systems, products, or services are immune from, or will make your enterprise immune from, the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
