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."
"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"The Netprobe is so lightweight compared to the agents that most monitoring tools use. It's really superior to the competition. The agent that is used by almost every competitive tool takes a lot more system resources. It's slower and it requires a greater effort and more compromises in terms of security to install on the monitored servers. With Geneos, because it lives outside the code, it is far easier and far less taxing on the monitored systems."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"Custom script toolkits"
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"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"
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature for us was the ability to monitor sites and get a nice overview of all the data in a single view."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"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 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."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"One area that could be improved is the reporting features. In the version transformation from ten to eleven, the platform changed from a Windows-based platform to a Linux-based platform. As a result, the previous reporting feature using Crystal Reports was no longer available. Instead, we had to generate PDF dashboard reports, which were not as flexible."
