We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and Zabbix 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Custom script toolkits"
"Geneos automatically sends email notifications when any batch job fails, the database is down or the website is down. It is automatically monitoring everything and reduces manual effort."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."
"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."
"One thing we're utilizing in Geneos is the Gateway-SQL. That's really helpful for us. Using Gateway-SQL, we are able to merge two different views into one. Suppose we have to check something in the log and that we have to check something in the database and do a comparison before publishing a result. We can achieve that using Gateway-SQL."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"There is one drawback to using lightweight data collection: we lack the feature of observability based on time series, such as historical model data. This makes it difficult to view data in ITRS. ITRS needs to improve this feature."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
