We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software 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."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"One of the best aspects of Geneos is that it has a broad scope and can cover a lot of use cases. You can write your own scripts to monitor really specific things. And the rules that you can put in place can be quite complex for the alerts."
"It's a very powerful application monitoring tool across the industry. Many free, open-source tools are available. There are also paid tools, but ITRS Geneos is a real-time application monitoring tool where the user can monitor, self-configure, and manage alerts through their console."
"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."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"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"
"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."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The power flow is great."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"It is simple."
"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."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"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."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"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."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"They need a little more self-service."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
