Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"ITRS can define rules to alert when certain parameters that you monitor breach a threshold. Rules can be configured to fire recovery actions automatically to clear the alert"
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the log file. I would like to be able to do a pre-run on the log files. When you are testing log files for regular expressions, it would be good to be able to do a quick check up front on that side of things before you release that into production."
"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."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"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."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
