It provides lightweight data collection. Our servers or other things are not taking any strain since day one with it. We are quite comfortable with the load. Almost none is placed on our servers at the moment by this tool. So, it's cool.

ITRS Geneos is configurable based on the architecture and therefore provides lightweight data collection. There is one agent running on the machine which needs to be monitored, and the data the particular agent will collect is completely configurable. It can start from very basic monitoring, checking CP utilization and memory, and go to a much deeper analysis of the data by installing more plugins, like messaging queues, IBM MQ monitoring, and so on. One of the best features is that the solution is very configurable because it is an evolved product of over 20 years, and it can still run on machines that are not really good with system resources. These machines have less CPU and memory, and the solution can run on those machines also without taking much capacity and without slowing down the application itself.

I rate Geneos six out of 10 for data collection because it isn't lightweight compared to AppDynamics and Dynatrace.

The solution provides lightweight data collection. We have recently had a business dashboard as well. Along with order messages and client logins, we are also monitoring capacity reports, view logs, and business reports. We have captured all of this information and put it in our database. We can see a historical view of user logins, latency, and whether or not it has improved.

ITRS Geneos provides lightweight data collection. The tool is outside the application. Most other monitoring tools are deployed within the application. When we deploy a monitoring tool, it may have a side impact on the application. This can be due to the tool using a lot of CPU and memory, which can degrade the performance of the main application. We need to be very careful when choosing a monitoring tool so that it doesn't have a negative impact on our applications. ITRS Geneos is a great tool for data collection. It sits outside the application, which provides flexibility in defining what data is needed and what level of CPU or memory is allowed for collection.
