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

"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."
"It's definitely the best solution that I've used, as far as real-time monitoring goes."
"It's a great and powerful tool."
"In my experience, being able to monitor our databases is a valuable feature as we can create our own queries and aren't reliant on the in-built ones."
"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. Although hard to measure, since implementation, we have probably seen some increased stability because of it and we have definitely seen teams a lot more aware of their environment. Consequently, we can be more proactive in challenging and improving previously undetected weaknesses."
"It's a very effective and productive tool, and avoids any major incidents."
"Custom script toolkits"
"Geneos gives us visibility on all of our systems at once and we can build dashboard views to monitor transactions moving from one system to another."
"The integration with Event Management works quite well."
"The AIOps capabilities in Moogsoft, which it brings in with multiple data source support, are the most valuable features."
"The tool's event correlation and AI are its strongest parts."
"It is very easy and very comfortable to use, with everything available on a single screen."
"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."
"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."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
 

Cons

"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"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."
"Currently the dashboard does not have the capability of providing different status levels, and this needs to be updated."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Its web monitoring capability is very hard to use especially if there is authentication involved."
"Technically, I believe the dashboard functionality can be more configurable as some shapes are very limited with what they can do."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"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."
"It is taking a long time to set it up and could do more to roll out quickly."
"I would like to see Moogsoft improve on coming up with some agentic solutions for whatever they have been able to automate."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"They should consider including Chatbot."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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."
"Based on feedback from colleagues and friends working in the financial sector, Geneos is relatively costly. Many companies have been switching from Geneos to Dynatrace, Sysdig, or other monitoring tools in the past two years because of the price."
"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 pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"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 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."
"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"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."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"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."
