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

"Customer service delivered by ITRS is to the highest standards from all points of view."
"It allowed us to deal with incidents in real time, reducing the impact on the business by allowing them to keep trading, therefore not losing money."
"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."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"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 Geneos monitoring solution is a mature industry standard monitoring solution, and is present in over 90% of the invest banks in the city."
"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 confidence of our users has greatly improved because of our ability to react much faster."
"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."
"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."
"Moogsoft helps manage alert fatigue by consolidating various alerts into a single portal instead of monitoring them across different devices, allowing team members to own alerts and monitor them efficiently, which benefits the whole team."
"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."
"I like the prediction features."
"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 very stable; you will hardly face any issues like file corruption or an alert being missed out by the system."
"One of the tangible benefits of Moogsoft AIOps is that it has reduced alert volume by 90 percent, separating the signal from the noise through mathematical analysis of all events across the entire monitoring stack and freeing up support a lot, saving resources, time, and money."
 

Cons

"I would really like to see something from the Geneos side to set up automated reporting from ITRS. We have to send reporting to management every day. To do that we have to check the dashboard and then we have to report whether everything is fine or not. In the future, I want something, some reporting kind of feature in ITRS, where it can collect all the data and mention what is green, what is amber, what is red in a report."
"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."
"The Geneos configuration has greatly improved since the nascent version 1.0 days, but still requires specialist knowledge and convoluted config debugging when something’s not monitoring as expected."
"Some aspects of dashboarding are very proprietary and it makes it difficult, at times, to replicate your work easily."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"I believe the product has to improve on reporting."
"The initial setup was a bit complex."
"There is a one-second ceiling on responses to rule breaches."
"Integration support needs to be scaled up at a much higher pace — the integration with other tools."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"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."
"As a SaaS-based solution, Moogsoft is not mature."
"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."
"I would like to see Moogsoft improve on coming up with some agentic solutions for whatever they have been able to automate."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
"The pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"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."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
