We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and Alluvio Aternity based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: ITRS Geneos is the preferred choice over Alluvio Aternity due to its highly customizable and flexible monitoring capabilities, real-time and proactive monitoring, and powerful application monitoring tool. It also has a reasonable pricing model, good customer service and support, and provides various benefits to its users. On the other hand, Alluvio Aternity has limitations in terms of customizable reporting options, detailed performance counters, and database monitoring, and has mixed experiences with pricing and licensing.
"The ability to monitor crash and health event issues at a user level"
"The dashboards of this platform are the most valuable, especially the Desktop Health dashboard."
"Alluvio Aternity is stable."
"While it also provides desktop metrics, the main thing we use it for is monitoring our applications."
"The data the solution provides is valuable to us; we can see the health of the machines, how they are performing, and what might be causing issues on a particular machine."
"The most valuable feature is the application performance troubleshooting because Aternity is able to provide the performance from the end-user perspective. It doesn't just give the standard application logon time, etc., rather it's also able to measure the performance inside the application, the performance of specific transactions in the application, and break it down into three elements: the client time, the network time, and the server time. This gives us a lot of insights into what we need to focus on to improve the performance of an application."
"Being able to proactively identify issues on user systems."
"The data collected by the agents on each end point is the most valuable feature for us."
"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"The biggest benefit of Geneos is the fact that we can clearly see, if we have an alert, where that alert has come from. We can see the data around that alert and anything that might be relevant is also shown. We can very easily right-click and see why we've received that alert. That's the best part about it, that you've got all the data there with the alerting."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"It enables us to monitor application processes, to do log-monitoring on a 24/7 basis, to do server-level monitoring - all the hardware parameters - as well as monitor connectivity across applications to the interfaces."
"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."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"It all comes in pretty nice looking charts and things, but we have a hard time pulling out hard data, which is usually what you'll need if you're trying to be actionable."
"I want more reporting around asset management, with greater flexibility and customization ability."
"I think the workflow needs improvement"
"Reliability: Issues interfering with the deployment and use of the product has made its use reduced in scope."
"The only thing I can say which has been frustrating are the Tableau workspace/dashboard options out-of-the-box, at least prior to version 8."
"In terms of a new feature, it would be good if we could restrict a user to a specific application or server. We have several customers, and we have to set up one or two servers for each customer. We have to set up one server for production and one for the test environment. Each user at the customer level can see all applications and the data of all applications, which is not really useful and good. We should be able to restrict user access at the application level or server level."
"Integrating the tool with other products is a challenge."
"I can see the location and computer model and I can see a bunch of different attributes. But one thing I can't see is the Internet Explorer version."
"I would like ITRS Geneos to develop an app, where instead of going to specific login terminals or logging into laptops or desktops to check alerts, we can have visibility in the app itself."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"Sometimes, if there is a lot of data coming onto the servers, we have observed a little bit of slowness on the gateway servers which are doing the ITRS dashboard monitoring."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"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."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
