Featured Reviews

Søren Overgaard Bendtsen - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Director at CGL Pack Annecy S.A.S.
Monitoring has provided factual end‑to‑end insights and supports proactive incident response
From using HPE Aruba Networking UXI, I have access to real numbers for latency, packet drops, and other metrics. We also have a pretty intensive alerting mechanism that works on specific IPs for all our sites that are pinging, so if they are not reachable, we will have an alert and an incident created. I assess the value of HPE Aruba Networking UXI's application visibility in enhancing network performance as great. HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input. We are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories.

Real-time monitoring has improved incident response and supports proactive anomaly detection
The advantages and strong points of ITRS Geneos for me personally are seamless integration with existing systems as well as upcoming modern systems. The user interface is really good. From a management point of view, these are the key aspects with respect to the user interface and seamless integration. We get very good community support for this product. ITRS Geneos has impacted my organization positively, and I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HPE Aruba Networking UXI's remote troubleshooting capabilities help me manage my distributed networks in a great way because we are not relying on user input and are relying on real facts from HPE Aruba Networking UXI devices that are placed end-of-line on all our factories."
"The most valuable feature of HP Aruba Networking UX-I is its 24/7 monitoring capability."
"Aruba products have significantly improved our network reliability, as none of my teammates have logged a call to Aruba in the past year."
"There was definitely an ROI with the use cases I have had; when you see that the network issues and trouble tickets that are opening start to decrease, that is where your ROI starts coming in regarding productivity."
"The performance, elasticity, and efficiency of Aruba products have been exceptional."
"The integration of HPE Aruba Networking UXI with other security and networking tools is quite robust, allowing us to collect information from firewalls, routers, access points, and more, and present it through Grafana to proactively address issues before clients open support tickets."
"It allowed us to deal with incidents in real time, reducing the impact on the business by allowing them to keep trading, therefore not losing money."
"We previously used Nagios, but switched to Geneos as it has better monitoring for applications, and it has more features and better configuration possibilities."
"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."
"The Netprobe is so lightweight compared to the agents that most monitoring tools use. It's really superior to the competition. The agent that is used by almost every competitive tool takes a lot more system resources. It's slower and it requires a greater effort and more compromises in terms of security to install on the monitored servers. With Geneos, because it lives outside the code, it is far easier and far less taxing on the monitored systems."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"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."
"The result was a similar metrics monitored at a much better frequency, with a more stable product and a much better user interface."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if the tool offered a less expensive subscription as it is currently costly for our clients."
"They could improve their services."
"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."
"Areas where the HPE Aruba Networking UXI can improve include the integration of SD-WAN and security in a single solution."
"For the last year or two, I've been asking the vendor about the mobile app. This is something that probably everyone asks when they see the tool and they see how powerful it is. If there is any mobile app for this or if there is any way this tool can be more easily accessible other than having a big client installed, it would be great. I know you can build dashboards, et cetera, but there is no quick and easy way. I should be able to download an app, log in, and see my status. That will put this product above everything else out there. I believe it's on their roadmap."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"Currently the dashboard does not have the capability of providing different status levels, and this needs to be updated."
"It would be good if there were documentation on the ITRS website such as tutorials or plugins which are available to download."
"Some aspects of dashboarding are very proprietary and it makes it difficult, at times, to replicate your work easily."
"I believe the product has to improve on reporting."
"There is are issues with the compatibility of plugins with AIX servers."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing cost may seem expensive upfront. However, the service is outstanding, the tool does things that no other tools can do, and the customizability more than makes up for the cost of licensing."
"The product is priced quite high. There are pricing options for customers based on the size of the environment and plug-ins used by the monitoring system."
"It is expensive. They have to look at the model around when we move to cloud and how that's going to work. The licensing cost does pay off because of the improvements in support to our business."
"The market tools are on par with this solution, but if the solution included more features, then it would be well within the range for the cost."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable. It isn't too expensive, and it isn't too cheap, but it also depends on a company's volume and negotiation."
"The pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
