We performed a comparison between New Relic 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: New Relic was preferred due to its ease of use, accurate alert mechanisms, and user behavior and experience monitoring features. New Relic's pricing was a concern for some, while ITRS Geneos may be too expensive for non-banking and non-finance industries.
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"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"
"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"They instrument up from the bottom to the top – every piece of code - they have a very perfect read of what’s being done, and how long it’s taking."
"The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"The integration and configuration of New Relic is straightforward and easy."
"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The deployment method for upgrading is a bit tricky. It takes a little bit of manual effort. If that could be a bit more automated, it would help us a lot."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that could be improved in terms of rapid scaling would be more ability to clone aspects of an implementation. It seems like there are opportunities in this area, where we have repetitive tasks to do when it comes to implementing things on new servers or on new gateways. It would be great if there was an easy way to clone something that had already been done."
"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."
"I would really like to see something from the Geneos side to set up automated reporting from ITRS. We have to send reporting to management every day. To do that we have to check the dashboard and then we have to report whether everything is fine or not. In the future, I want something, some reporting kind of feature in ITRS, where it can collect all the data and mention what is green, what is amber, what is red in a report."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"They should bring the pricing down to be more competitive."
"The solution needs to have staging."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"The older view is much better than the new view that they have. We'd like to go back to that previous version. The user interface just isn't as nice as it used to be."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
