Featured Reviews

Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Sanket - PeerSpot reviewer
With the help of the solution, we can predict and prevent failures
Currently, the most valuable thing for an individual is a mobile device. Since that is where people are currently tracking everything, we have multiple applications or apps that are for various products. 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. Using the ITRS Geneos app, we could see the error message during our travels or wherever we are. I would like to see the capacity of messages for forecasting increased. Since the NSE is the number one derivative stock exchange in the work for three consecutive years, the number of messages is important. We use the capacity planner in ITRS to forecast our data needs for the next two months. The planner is important because the volume of data we produce is becoming more and more volatile compared to when we first started using ITRS Geneos in 2014.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is simple to use."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"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."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"In my experience, being able to monitor our databases is a valuable feature as we can create our own queries and aren't reliant on the in-built ones."
"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"
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."
"Custom script toolkits"
 

Cons

"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"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."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"It is not expensive."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"The product is very cheap."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"The pricing is fairly market-related. They have been very lenient because we have been working with them for so long. An example is that we're currently migrating some of our services to AWS, and they've given us a grace period for some of the things to help with the migration and not to grow additional costs while we are migrating, but it's still on par with the market."
"Pricing is the touchy subject, even here. Upper management always wants us to find a cheaper solution. But we have so much integrated with ITRS... It's expensive, but it does its job very well. And you set it and go."
"Based on feedback from colleagues and friends working in the financial sector, Geneos is relatively costly. Many companies have been switching from Geneos to Dynatrace, Sysdig, or other monitoring tools in the past two years because of the price."
"ITRS Geneos is not a cheap tool. It's a moderate price for the banking industry. The reason we are not able to add the ITRS monitoring tool for the non-banking industries, and non-finance industries, is that the pricing is too high."
"The pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
