We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and Prometheus based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Prometheus is the preferred choice over ITRS Geneos due to its integration capabilities, affordability, and flexibility. Despite ITRS Geneos' comprehensive monitoring and alert management solution, it lacks thread-level monitoring and is not as lightweight. Prometheus is highly praised for its fast data storage system, scraping mechanism, and ability to extract data from multiple sources. It is also free and has a good return on investment, making it a valuable investment for monitoring needs.
"Ability to monitor logs for potential issues to prevent app outages before problems get a chance to arise. That's invaluable for our teams in a fast-paced trading environment."
"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"
"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."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"The flexibility of the product is most valuable. It is highly customizable. If you put your mind to it and think of something you could do, there's a good possibility you can get it integrated within the console, if it's not readily available. The simplicity or ease of customization has been valuable."
"Prometheus is a great solution for monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is that we can receive information in different formats."
"It has lots of APIs and libraries to integrate with any kind of language."
"The solution can be deployed in thirty minutes."
"I like its lightweight configuration functions."
"It is a stable solution...Based on the feedback I have received from my colleagues in our company's IT department, the setup phase of the solution is relatively easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The feature I found most valuable is the number of integrations. It is the industry standard for metrics."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"For the solution to stay relevant in the cloud-based monitoring environment Geneos needs more plug-ins with more features. Instead of offering clients workarounds, the solution should have a cloud-based out-of-the-box version."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"If you want to collect details of metrics, you should be able to write a query for it directly. I want the product to offer better queries for the metrics."
"The simplicity of the query language could be improved. The current query language is not easy to work with."
"I would like to see improvement in the analysis tools and customization features."
"There is a need for a more comprehensive overview of exporters, especially when dealing with many of them."
"The alert functionality is kind of lackluster."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The setup could be made easier for new users because it requires a bit of advance knowledge or experience."
"One potential area for improvement would be fixing the occasional glitches and bugs."
