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 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 ITRS central Help Desk is absolutely awesome."
"As a company looking to onboard, its capacity to monitor just about anything from Unix log files and processes to database memory, and even run queries and provide results, means it can be used as a one stop shop for all your monitoring needs if you understand how to utilise it to its fullest extent."
"ITRS Active Console has helped us monitor servers and set thresholds for different metrics, is easy to setup, works with different kinds of servers, and also helps you execute shell scripts as a response to alerts."
"Real-time monitoring of market data components on an enterprise environment is the most valuable feature of Active Console and Gateway."
"Custom script toolkits"
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"It enables us to monitor application processes, to do log-monitoring on a 24/7 basis, to do server-level monitoring - all the hardware parameters - as well as monitor connectivity across applications to the interfaces."
"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."
"The solution is extremely helpful with correlating IP failures and it has a very good sort of flow chart of IP systems."
"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."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"It is very easy and very comfortable to use, with everything available on a single screen."
"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."
"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."
"I like the prediction features."
 

Cons

"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. When you are testing log files for regular expressions, it would be good to be able to do a quick check up front on that side of things before you release that into production."
"I had issues scaling it and ended up having to distribute the load over seven gateways."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"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."
"Its web monitoring capability is very hard to use especially if there is authentication involved."
"Not a ten because when the Gateway was very overloaded it was very hard to monitor the alerts, especially for the product services."
"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus; if RabbitMQ goes down or its message bus or database malfunctions, you will not get support from Moogsoft and we have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"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."
"Sometimes Moogsoft experiences stability issues due to bugs or internal problems, leading to downtime, which the Mulesoft team addresses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
