We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The machine learning feature is valuable."

More Centerity Monitor Pros →

"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.""One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support.""ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers.""This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules.""The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times.""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.""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""The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."

Cons
"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."

More Centerity Monitor Cons →

"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement.""A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways.""The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer.""Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities.""Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful.""I would like better access to the data that is being collected.""The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
  • "The product is priced quite high. There are pricing options for customers based on the size of the environment and plug-ins used by the monitoring system."
  • "Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
  • "The licensing cost may seem expensive upfront. However, the service is outstanding, the tool does things that no other tools can do, and the customizability more than makes up for the cost of licensing."
  • "Pricing is the touchy subject, even here. Upper management always wants us to find a cheaper solution. But we have so much integrated with ITRS... It's expensive, but it does its job very well. And you set it and go."
  • "It is expensive. They have to look at the model around when we move to cloud and how that's going to work. The licensing cost does pay off because of the improvements in support to our business."
  • "When I first came in, their pricing was very high. ITRS had a high expectation of what their price should be based on perceived value. I think they have been realizing, more recently, that there are other competitors, so their pricing is a lot better. Licensing for on-premise is okay, however I feel there is quite some work to be done for cloud and containers. We're still working with them to try and work out what that pricing should look like."
  • "Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."

    Top Answer:I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option.
    Top Answer:I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly. So, definitely, we had to pay a certain amount to use it.
    Top Answer:Speaking about room for improvement, ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud. I definitely know that they have some monitoring extensions or plug-ins for the… more »

    Overview
    Centerity is the pioneer provider of an All-in-One, IT Monitoring and Business Service Management (BSM) platform. Whereas legacy tools have focused on monitoring individual technologies which led to silos of performance data, Centerity breaks down silos by extending its monitoring coverage across all technology layers, from infrastructure (physical, virtual, converged, AWS, etc.) to applications (OS, SAP, Cloudera, etc.) and databases (SAP HANA, Hadoop, NoSQL, etc.), thereby providing an integrated, holistic view of system health, performance and availability. Centerity’s unique, unified platform, named a Gartner Cool Vendor in ITOM, can serve the needs of both IT executives and administrators while providing a complete business intelligence layer across all IT assets via cross technical and functional domain impact and trend analysis through its Business Service Management (BSM) capabilities.

    ITRS Geneos is a real-time monitoring tool designed for managing increasingly complex, hybrid and interconnected IT estates.

    Built with financial services and trading organisations in mind, it collects a wide range of data relating to server performance, infrastructure, trading, connectivity and applications, and analyses it to provide relevant information and alerts in real time.

    Geneos can give full stack visibility across highly dynamic environments and presents all the information through a single pane of glass and its configurable and customisable dashboards provide end-to-end visibility to both technical and business users.
