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"
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"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."
"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"
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"ITRS have started to make some major changes that we haven't taken on board yet, in the creation of dashboards and more visibility of the metrics that we collect. At the moment, that's something that's lacking, but I know they have addressed it. Still, it’s not that easy to create stuff to help with visibility and dashboarding in Geneos."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the log file. I would like to be able to do a pre-run on the log files. When you are testing log files for regular expressions, it would be good to be able to do a quick check up front on that side of things before you release that into production."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"It could be more stable."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
