Anyone wanting an advanced distributed tracing system
About Zipkin
It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in service architectures. Features include both the collection and lookup of this data. If you have a trace ID in a log file, you can jump directly to it. Otherwise, you can query based on attributes such as service, operation name, tags and duration. Some interesting data will be summarized for you, such as the percentage of time spent in a service, and whether or not operations failed. The Zipkin UI also presents a dependency diagram showing how many traced requests went through each application. This can help identify aggregate behavior including error paths or calls to deprecated services.

IBM Instana
IBM Instana is the gold standard of incident prevention with automated full-stack visibility, 1-second granularity and 3 seconds to notify.
With today’s highly dynamic and complex cloud environments, the average cost of an hour of downtime can reach six figures and beyond. Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools simply aren’t fast enough to keep up or thorough enough to contextualize the issues identified. Also, they are typically limited to super users who must complete months of training to learn.
IBM Instana Observability goes beyond traditional APM solutions by democratizing observability so anyone across DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps and development can get the data they want with the context they need.
Instana Dynamic APM operates using the Instana agent architecture, which incorporates sensors—lightweight, automated programs tailored to monitor specific entities.
