Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The solution is very stable. We never had any issues with stability."
"IBM's main value lies in its integration with its own technologies, which can be seen as a benefit in environments where IBM products are extensively used."
"The filtering in the Active Console is exceptional. Depending on the user base, some people don't want to see server-level errors, so we have filters set up in the Managed Entities view, which allow us to filter out things that certain groups don't want to see, while allowing them to see other things. It's a great real-time monitoring solution. And you can draw graphs immediately, right from the Active Console, whether they're current graphs or historical graphs."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"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"
"The installation process is difficult, requiring continuous support and specialist expertise due to our limited knowledge of managing it effectively."
"The user interface was not good."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"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."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"Sometimes, if there is a lot of data coming onto the servers, we have observed a little bit of slowness on the gateway servers which are doing the ITRS dashboard monitoring."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
