We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring and ITRS Geneos based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It is a stable solution that helps address user issues well."
"The feature we find most valuable, is that the solution creates a unified platform making it really easy to pinpoint a problem, and then drill down into a transaction to resolve the issue."
"The most valuable feature is the one that enables you to have visibility into the end-users journey."
"The most valuable feature is that we can see how our end-users are interacting with our application across regions."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"The most valuable feature is the end-user monitoring."
"One noteworthy feature is user journey analysis, which enables tracking user interactions and conversion paths on a website."
"We can see the customer's path from their computer to the backend systems."
"The biggest benefit of Geneos is the fact that we can clearly see, if we have an alert, where that alert has come from. We can see the data around that alert and anything that might be relevant is also shown. We can very easily right-click and see why we've received that alert. That's the best part about it, that you've got all the data there with the alerting."
"One of the best aspects of Geneos is that it has a broad scope and can cover a lot of use cases. You can write your own scripts to monitor really specific things. And the rules that you can put in place can be quite complex for the alerts."
"The ability to completely tailor and customize what it's monitoring is one of its strongest points. A lot of other monitoring tools are good at certain things, but one of my colleagues described it as the “Swiss Army Knife” of monitoring tools. It can do anything you want."
"The built-in plug-ins allow administrators to easily configure monitoring components for market data systems such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and SRLabs Wombat (formerly NYSE)."
"It's a very powerful application monitoring tool across the industry. Many free, open-source tools are available. There are also paid tools, but ITRS Geneos is a real-time application monitoring tool where the user can monitor, self-configure, and manage alerts through their console."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"I would like to see support for mobile testing and mobile monitoring."
"The pricing falls within the mid-range category."
"We would like to be able to easily use this solution to monitor our Java script based browsers, which are currently blocked by the security settings."
"AppD is really cool and a unified solution for both APM and APM centric Analytics side. We can show almost all business data within the APM context from the end-user perspetive. But this process is a little bit manual. If they catch and map business journeys based on customer interaction on the browser automatically, it should be really fine."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"If you have a single URL and all the operations are coming in as part of the header, you will not be able to segregate them for different actions."
"While I am not expecting it in the next release, I would want more centralized management of the agent in the platform and better support."
"The interface and user experience could be better."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"We all look at the same things - CPU, disk space, paging stats, service status with RAG status on each. That could be provided straight out, saving significant time."
"I would really like to see something from the Geneos side to set up automated reporting from ITRS. We have to send reporting to management every day. To do that we have to check the dashboard and then we have to report whether everything is fine or not. In the future, I want something, some reporting kind of feature in ITRS, where it can collect all the data and mention what is green, what is amber, what is red in a report."
"For the solution to stay relevant in the cloud-based monitoring environment Geneos needs more plug-ins with more features. Instead of offering clients workarounds, the solution should have a cloud-based out-of-the-box version."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
