Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups

My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

A stable, scalable, and flexible monitoring tool

Real-time data is one of the unique features that ITRS Geneos offers. For example, if there is an impact on a particular server and a particular application, I want to see what the impact is or what the CPU or hardware usage information is, as well as the service in the same application. I can see the real-time data and the impact by accessing ITRS Geneos and looking at the tree. I don't want a tool that tells me when something is broken. I want the tool to tell me when something is going to break. That is the difference between ITRS Geneos and other tools. I want proactive monitoring, not reactive. I don't need to be notified after the fact that something has broken. If something is broken, I get a notification by email, and some of my customers are going to call me. ITRS Geneos provides proactive monitoring. The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring. ITRS Geneos not only alerts us but also gives us a real-time view of the data. This is the tool's first great advantage. It is also lightweight and flexible and can adapt to monitor even low-latency systems, which is the tool's second advantage. Another great feature of this tool is its good presentation layer, which allows us to build custom dashboards to present to business stakeholders. This gives them a high-level status of what is being monitored. If we compare ITRS Geneos to other tools, we will find that each one specializes in a specific area, but the ITRS Geneos tool is more comprehensive. This is its great advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

"Provides the strongest support for automation."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

More HPE OneView pros

"The flexibility of the product is most valuable. It is highly customizable. If you put your mind to it and think of something you could do, there's a good possibility you can get it integrated within the console, if it's not readily available. The simplicity or ease of customization has been valuable."

"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."

"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."

"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."

"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."

"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."

"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."

"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."

More ITRS Geneos pros

Cons

"From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option."

"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."

"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."

"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."

"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."

More HPE OneView cons

"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."

"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."

"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."

"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."

"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."

"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."

"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."

"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."

More ITRS Geneos cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"Use it. It is free."

"I am happy with the price."

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."

"The organization is not just purchasing a license for the product, but also managing services and professional services from ITRS. Another factor is if the implementation is going to be in production, non-production, or both."

"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 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."

"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
