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

"Geneos automatically sends email notifications when any batch job fails, the database is down or the website is down; it is automatically monitoring everything and reduces manual effort."
"The Netprobe is so lightweight compared to the agents that most monitoring tools use. It's really superior to the competition. The agent that is used by almost every competitive tool takes a lot more system resources. It's slower and it requires a greater effort and more compromises in terms of security to install on the monitored servers. With Geneos, because it lives outside the code, it is far easier and far less taxing on the monitored systems."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"The Geneos monitoring solution is a mature industry standard monitoring solution, and is present in over 90% of the invest banks in the city."
"Their customer support is first rate."
"Custom script toolkits"
"It’s very easy to install and setup, offers high scalability, and has a low resource use."
"Our support team can monitor our applications and servers easily and we were able to reduce the time in finding errors and providing a solution."
"The AI component allows you to check previous cases and diagnose problems easily."
"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."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"I find the unsupervised learning algorithms for noise reduction particularly valuable. The algorithm's ability to identify and reduce noise is a feature we initially liked. The anomaly detection feature is excellent for maintaining system uptime as it helps identify problems quickly."
"The solution is very stable; you will hardly face any issues like file corruption or an alert being missed out by the system."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems."
 

Cons

"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"We were a little bit confused but once we found out what was needed, it was smooth."
"The deployment method for upgrading is a bit tricky. It takes a little bit of manual effort. If that could be a bit more automated, it would help us a lot."
"Sometimes there were issues with the database. If the database logging was high then the gateway would be slow."
"Not a ten because when the Gateway was very overloaded it was very hard to monitor the alerts, especially for the product services."
"As far as I know, ITRS does not have integration with any version control system."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"The main weakness of the product is poor historical logging and reporting."
"Sometimes Moogsoft experiences stability issues due to bugs or internal problems, leading to downtime, which the Mulesoft team addresses."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"On a scale from one to ten, with one being worst and ten being best, I would rate Moogsoft a little lower than I expected when we originally adopted the product."
"I would like to see how Moogsoft integrates with the multi-cloud and brings out a single pane of glass, to see everything on one screen."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"Pricing is the touchy subject, even here. Upper management always wants us to find a cheaper solution. But we have so much integrated with ITRS... It's expensive, but it does its job very well. And you set it and go."
"The pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"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."
