Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"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"
"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."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"Custom script toolkits"
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"The most valuable feature is alerting."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"The solution reduces the complexity of our network monitoring because it can make my engineers do their jobs faster. The solution also reduces troubleshooting time for network administrators to pinpoint issues quicker."
"The most valuable features are scalability and reliability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"For the solution to stay relevant in the cloud-based monitoring environment Geneos needs more plug-ins with more features. Instead of offering clients workarounds, the solution should have a cloud-based out-of-the-box version."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"I would also like to see suggested guidelines to accomplish a monitoring task. The issue is that ITRS is so flexible that there is more than one way to complete a task, each with benefits and disadvantages."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
"Configuration management: In configuration management it would be helpful if it would backup configuration files (running and start-up configuration) for devices. (Not sure if this is already available in the latest version)."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"The main issue I've seen, in the last six months to a year, is when I upgrade I seem to be hitting bugs. The upgrade won't go smoothly and I have to engage support. These things happen when you upgrade, it's not the end of the world, but from a stability point of view, the only time I've so far, is during upgrades."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
