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."
"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."
"It is better than any monitoring product I've ever used in terms of providing real-time metric data."
"For getting out in front of a problem before it happens, it's absolutely superb."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"It's a very effective and productive tool, and avoids any major incidents."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"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."
"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."
"I like the prediction features."
"The solution is very stable; you will hardly face any issues like file corruption or an alert being missed out by the system."
"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."
"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."
"It is very easy and very comfortable to use, with everything available on a single screen."
"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
 

Cons

"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"In some cases Netprobe can be unstable."
"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."
"The initial setup was a bit complex."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"I think there's a very steep learning curve with the product."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see more integrations. It is rather difficult to install the enterprise systems with the agents."
"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"Integration support needs to be scaled up at a much higher pace — the integration with other tools."
"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."
"Customer service and support need improvement in terms of response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
"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."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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."
"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 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."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"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."
