"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"It's also easy to implement. The implementation of Geneos is very easy and interesting. It's not complicated. It's very quick to implement. The installation is very easy. There are many topics about ITRS Geneos that explain more about the features of the function of Geneos."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"I would like ITRS Geneos to develop an app, where instead of going to specific login terminals or logging into laptops or desktops to check alerts, we can have visibility in the app itself."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"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."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"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."
"I would also like to see suggested guidelines to accomplish a monitoring task. The issue is that ITRS is so flexible that there is more than one way to complete a task, each with benefits and disadvantages."
"For the last year or two, I've been asking the vendor about the mobile app. This is something that probably everyone asks when they see the tool and they see how powerful it is. If there is any mobile app for this or if there is any way this tool can be more easily accessible other than having a big client installed, it would be great. I know you can build dashboards, et cetera, but there is no quick and easy way. I should be able to download an app, log in, and see my status. That will put this product above everything else out there. I believe it's on their roadmap."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"The price has room for improvement."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
