We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and ITRS Geneos for Valuable based on real PeerSpot user reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Elastic Observability offers machine learning, custom development, and easy data management. ITRS Geneos is highly customizable but needs improvement in deployment and cloud monitoring. Its setup can also be complex and require onsite support. Both products have reasonable pricing, but Elastic Observability is cost-effective and helps organizations achieve their objectives at a lower price, making it the preferred option.
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"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."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"In my experience, being able to monitor our databases is a valuable feature as we can create our own queries and aren't reliant on the in-built ones."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"Custom script toolkits"
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"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."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"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."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"ITRS have started to make some major changes that we haven't taken on board yet, in the creation of dashboards and more visibility of the metrics that we collect. At the moment, that's something that's lacking, but I know they have addressed it. Still, it’s not that easy to create stuff to help with visibility and dashboarding in Geneos."
