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.

Effective monitoring and efficient alert management streamline operations
Machine learning works based on past collected data, so we can develop a system that functions as an automated bot using this data. With the use of AI technologies such as ChatGPT and other Gen AI solutions, if we combine these with machine learning tools, it will lead to increased efficiency and reduced processing time in application systems. I work on the backend to address any issues with Moogsoft, such as URL access problems or credential bugs, ensuring everything operates smoothly. The advantage of Moogsoft is that it consolidates various alerts into one monitoring tool, which reduces time and allows for real-time and anomaly detection, while its disadvantage includes limited built-in observability and complex setup requirements. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Moogsoft a 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's definitely the best solution that I've used, as far as real-time monitoring goes."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"The monitoring of queues which helps us to stay ahead of issues and fix them before users start complaining."
"Real-time monitoring of market data components on an enterprise environment is the most valuable feature of Active Console and Gateway."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"For my application, Geneos is detecting and helping us avoid outages at least once a day."
"The good thing is you get something out of it day one, you don't need years of training, and then you can build on that."
"The solution is used across the entire investment banking division, covering environments such as electronic trading, algo-trading, fixed income, FX, etc. It monitors that environment and enables a bank to significantly reduce down time."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"As a result of using Moogsoft for analysis, we are much quicker to find and diagnose the root cause of issues and therefore we improve production, stability, and uptime of services."
"When one is wanting to look for a quick solution rather than building it, Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use — that's how I feel."
"It is very easy and very comfortable to use, with everything available on a single screen."
"There are AI features in Moogsoft. Moogsoft has one wonderful feature that allows you to convert multiple alarms into situations. Generally, all other MoM tools get the alarms, and then convert it into an incident directly. There is one extra layer they have added before converting any alarm into an incident. Suppose there are multiple alarms that are somehow all related to a single source of issue. It converts all the alarms into a single situation, which then gets converted into an incident."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
 

Cons

"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"We were a little bit confused but once we found out what was needed, it was smooth."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"There is one drawback to using lightweight data collection: we lack the feature of observability based on time series, such as historical model data. This makes it difficult to view data in ITRS. ITRS needs to improve this feature."
"Some aspects of dashboarding are very proprietary and it makes it difficult, at times, to replicate your work easily."
"The interface can sometimes be a little complicated."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"The tool needs to improve its support. It appears that the support responsiveness from Moogsoft is not aligned with the severity of the incident. Instead of proactively addressing issues, customers have to chase Moogsoft for resolution. In Moogsoft, unlike other tools like Splunk, the process follows a step-by-step sequence. You need to start each process in a specific order, typically following a sequence."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"Sometimes Moogsoft experiences stability issues due to bugs or internal problems, leading to downtime, which the Mulesoft team addresses."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"I would like to see Moogsoft improve on coming up with some agentic solutions for whatever they have been able to automate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
