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.

Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"It is the most adaptable product so you should go-ahead and use it."
"Complete end-to-end monitoring of apps and infrastructure with key performance metrics to identify and reduce transaction latencies."
"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."
"The ITRS central Help Desk is absolutely awesome."
"It's definitely the best solution that I've used, as far as real-time monitoring goes."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"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."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"The technical support is good."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
 

Cons

"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"We need more hassle free plug-ins that offer Load and Start with minimal manual efforts."
"Sometimes there were issues with the database. If the database logging was high then the gateway would be slow."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"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."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the log file. I would like to be able to do a pre-run on the log files."
"For the last year or two, I've been asking the vendor about the mobile app."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The GUI could be improved."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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 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."
"When I first came in, their pricing was very high. ITRS had a high expectation of what their price should be based on perceived value. I think they have been realizing, more recently, that there are other competitors, so their pricing is a lot better. Licensing for on-premise is okay, however I feel there is quite some work to be done for cloud and containers. We're still working with them to try and work out what that pricing should look like."
"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 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."
