We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and ITRS Geneos based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: AppDynamics stands out for its extensive range of features, including the ability to monitor applications of different technologies, release management capabilities, and business insights. ITRS Geneos, on the other hand, is highly customizable and flexible, with real-time data monitoring and reasonable pricing. However, it lacks a mobile app and needs improvement in dashboarding and cloud monitoring. AppDynamics is preferred overall for its comprehensive features.
"It is used to test customer behavior on a website."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The transaction snapshots let you find out where the application broke; it pinpoints where in the call stack, and then how long it took to resolve."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"The flexibility of the product is most valuable. It is highly customizable. If you put your mind to it and think of something you could do, there's a good possibility you can get it integrated within the console, if it's not readily available. The simplicity or ease of customization has been valuable."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"It enables us to monitor application processes, to do log-monitoring on a 24/7 basis, to do server-level monitoring - all the hardware parameters - as well as monitor connectivity across applications to the interfaces."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"In my experience, being able to monitor our databases is a valuable feature as we can create our own queries and aren't reliant on the in-built ones."
"Ability to monitor logs for potential issues to prevent app outages before problems get a chance to arise. That's invaluable for our teams in a fast-paced trading environment."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"The solution could be more user-friendly for diagnostic purposes. Anyone who is using the solution should be able to infer what that error is about, they should be able to troubleshoot it better."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"AppDynamics is agent-based, so some customers are reluctant to install the agents in all their production environments. It would be helpful if they had an agentless version. It covers applications on the server, but the solution is weak on the network side. The agent is not deployed on the network components, so it cannot provide complete information about issues on the network layer."
"The dashboard can be better. Also, the automated reports could be improved."
"The cost element is an issue. I can't expect the company to change its way of work. However, given the fact that we earn and do all our business in South African Rand, I would prefer to buy in Rand as opposed to the American dollar or British pound."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
