We performed a comparison between Aternity AppInternals [EOL] and ITRS Geneos based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integration with their other systems. It's easy to understand and it points out the relevant problems in the enterprise."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"Synthetic transactions, WMI and SNMP query capability."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"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."
"It enables us to monitor application processes, to do log-monitoring on a 24/7 basis, to do server-level monitoring - all the hardware parameters - as well as monitor connectivity across applications to the interfaces."
"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 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 NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"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"
"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."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"Deployment and agent patch management is not managed centrally, resulting in a large level of effort to update."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"We have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post."
"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."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"I would really like to see something from the Geneos side to set up automated reporting from ITRS. We have to send reporting to management every day. To do that we have to check the dashboard and then we have to report whether everything is fine or not. In the future, I want something, some reporting kind of feature in ITRS, where it can collect all the data and mention what is green, what is amber, what is red in a report."
