Enhance performance and resolve issues faster

IBM® Instana® Observability provides complete, end-to-end overview of your mobile application’s performance in real time and from a single platform. This application performance monitoring (APM) includes deep full-stack visibility into application call paths, detailed insights on end-user interactions across mobile devices and the issues that they experience. The solution allows you to monitor mobile applications implemented in iOS, Android, Flutter or React Native.

Identify the root cause of performance issues faster

By connecting a mobile app request at the front end with backend traces generated by each interaction, troubleshooting performance issues can be faster and more efficient.​

Gain deeper insights to inform installation optimizations

Get real usage data on mobile app adoption, quickly identify where you should focus optimization efforts (most used device, browser or operating systems) and which versions to deprecate.

Increase user engagement by quickly resolving issues

Quickly identify bottlenecks with full context to detect and resolve issues faster, improve the mobile app’s user experience and enhance the end-user experience.

Optimize performance for low-end devices

By identifying indicators like memory leaks and frame drops across hardware profiles, optimize your mobile app for constrained environments, to grow your addressable market by ensuring consistent experience across your user base.

Detect and address performance issues

Mobile app users expect continuous availability, functionality and a frictionless experience. Anything less and they won’t hesitate to abandon your app and download something better. With so much at stake, mobile app development teams struggle to keep up using a hodgepodge of disparate analysis and performance monitoring tools to manage mobile app performance.  

Features

Comprehensive dashboard

Instana's mobile app monitoring dashboard delivers real user monitoring with key user activity data at a glance, including response time, slow or problematic HTTP requests, geographic data, crash reporting and custom events. From here, IT teams can dig further into the data to identify and address issues that may be impacting the mobile app’s digital experience.
