Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"One of the best aspects of Geneos is that it has a broad scope and can cover a lot of use cases. You can write your own scripts to monitor really specific things. And the rules that you can put in place can be quite complex for the alerts."
"Custom script toolkits"
"The filtering in the Active Console is exceptional. Depending on the user base, some people don't want to see server-level errors, so we have filters set up in the Managed Entities view, which allow us to filter out things that certain groups don't want to see, while allowing them to see other things. It's a great real-time monitoring solution. And you can draw graphs immediately, right from the Active Console, whether they're current graphs or historical graphs."
"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."
"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."
"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."
"The remarkable feature of Geneos is the dashboard. Geneos' flexible dashboard sets it apart from other monitoring tools. Other solutions have limitations in their dashboard design and can't be customized as much. The Geneos dashboard allows unlimited creativity."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"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."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"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."
