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"
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"The ability to logically normalize data gathered from multiple types of sources via pre-built plugins is extremely powerful. This functionality, coupled with the ability to import custom data via the Toolkit plugin allows Geneos to be leveraged to monitor every system in the enterprise."
"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."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"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."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
"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."
"Sometimes, if there is a lot of data coming onto the servers, we have observed a little bit of slowness on the gateway servers which are doing the ITRS dashboard monitoring."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"Their cloud monitoring solution needs to be improved. I have already given them the feedback that it's not capable of meeting the latest technology needs."
"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."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The event correlation could be better."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
