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

"Complete end-to-end monitoring of apps and infrastructure with key performance metrics to identify and reduce transaction latencies."
"Geneos enables customized aggregate views and alerts for both related and disparate components, and this flexibility and insight facilitates proactive and prompt causation analysis so you can easily see everything at once and know why there is an issue within seconds rather than spend precious time trying to find out."
"The result was a similar metrics monitored at a much better frequency, with a more stable product and a much better user interface."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"ITRS Geneos is very well known in the financial services community as being the best platform to monitor real time data infrastructures and the application does what it says on the tin."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"It has helped us re-define the Monitoring operating model which in turn has made support teams more efficient by using features like commented snoozing on various levels, use of knowledgebase articles associated with each alert cell, metric logging for capacity monitoring etc."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"I like the prediction features."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"The integration with Event Management works quite well."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"I like the prediction features; it's an automatic prediction of events and writing of the rules of analysis, and with Moogsoft the correlations are done automatically."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems. For example, if you see a failure in system A, you can track it down to the system causing the issue. This is a very handy feature."
 

Cons

"We were a little bit confused but once we found out what was needed, it was smooth."
"I believe the product has to improve on reporting."
"The initial setup was a bit complex."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"It would be good if there were documentation on the ITRS website such as tutorials or plugins which are available to download."
"It needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsoft SQL servers."
"In some cases Netprobe can be unstable."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"Integration support needs to be scaled up at a much higher pace — the integration with other tools."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"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 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."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
