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."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"The solution is used across the entire investment banking division, covering environments such as electronic trading, algo-trading, fixed income, FX, etc. It monitors that environment and enables a bank to significantly reduce down time. Although hard to measure, since implementation, we have probably seen some increased stability because of it and we have definitely seen teams a lot more aware of their environment. Consequently, we can be more proactive in challenging and improving previously undetected weaknesses."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"The built-in plug-ins allow administrators to easily configure monitoring components for market data systems such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and SRLabs Wombat (formerly NYSE)."
"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."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"There is one drawback to using lightweight data collection: we lack the feature of observability based on time series, such as historical model data. This makes it difficult to view data in ITRS. ITRS needs to improve this feature."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"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."
