We performed a comparison between Cavisson NetDiagnostics and ITRS Geneos based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."Its end-to-end dashboard provides information on all the integration callouts happening on the server side."
"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."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"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."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"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."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"The ability to completely tailor and customize what it's monitoring is one of its strongest points. A lot of other monitoring tools are good at certain things, but one of my colleagues described it as the “Swiss Army Knife” of monitoring tools. It can do anything you want."
"They can improve on providing "help and navigation" for each feature available in the UI."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"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."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"The deployment method for upgrading is a bit tricky. It takes a little bit of manual effort. If that could be a bit more automated, it would help us a lot."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
