We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and LiveAction LiveNX based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"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."
"It's a very powerful application monitoring tool across the industry. Many free, open-source tools are available. There are also paid tools, but ITRS Geneos is a real-time application monitoring tool where the user can monitor, self-configure, and manage alerts through their console."
"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 NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"The built-in plug-ins allow administrators to easily configure monitoring components for market data systems such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and SRLabs Wombat (formerly NYSE)."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"Their cloud monitoring solution needs to be improved. I have already given them the feedback that it's not capable of meeting the latest technology needs."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
