In the IT infrastructure monitoring domain, ITRS Geneos and Nagios Fusion are key competitors. ITRS Geneos generally has the upper hand in terms of ease of deployment and customer service, while Nagios Fusion is preferred for its robust feature set and extensive monitoring capabilities.

Features: ITRS Geneos provides advanced real-time monitoring, comprehensive analytical tools, and deep insights into complex systems.

Room for Improvement: ITRS Geneos could enhance its setup simplicity, increase feature integration for broader functionality, and improve scalability for larger systems. Nagios Fusion might focus on delivering more personalized customer support, expanding its advanced analytics capabilities, and refining its user interface for better intuitiveness.

Does real-time monitoring, prevents failures, and has a reasonable price

Their cloud monitoring solution needs to be improved. I have already given them the feedback that it's not capable of meeting the latest technology needs. It's built like proprietary software. I can't expose the data to ITRS, and similarly, ITRS can't expose the data to the outside world. They have created a boundary. It's a bit binding solution. In the modern world, people like to be able to expose the data to do whatever they want. They can query the data, send it, or pull it. ITRS needs to provide more in terms of the API offering. They have documentation, but they can improve the documentation and provide videos to show how to do monitoring configuration or deployment.

A suitable choice for unified and efficient infrastructure monitoring across diverse environments providing user-friendly GUI, cost-effectiveness, and versatility

We use it for this specific client, they've deployed multiple instances of it across various locations to facilitate monitoring. To effectively monitor their infrastructure, it seems necessary to implement additional monitoring solutions for all three types of devices they have Nagios Fusion…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Custom script toolkits"

"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."

"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"

"We previously used Nagios, but switched to Geneos as it has better monitoring for applications, and it has more features and better configuration possibilities."

"Customer service delivered by ITRS is to the highest standards from all points of view."

"The monitoring of queues which helps us to stay ahead of issues and fix them before users start complaining."

"It is better than any monitoring product I've ever used in terms of providing real-time metric data."

"The tool is highly customizable and can be tailored to your requirements."

More ITRS Geneos pros

"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."

"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."

"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."

"Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."

"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."

Cons

"One thing that could be improved in terms of rapid scaling would be more ability to clone aspects of an implementation. It seems like there are opportunities in this area, where we have repetitive tasks to do when it comes to implementing things on new servers or on new gateways. It would be great if there was an easy way to clone something that had already been done."

"For the last year or two, I've been asking the vendor about the mobile app. This is something that probably everyone asks when they see the tool and they see how powerful it is. If there is any mobile app for this or if there is any way this tool can be more easily accessible other than having a big client installed, it would be great. I know you can build dashboards, et cetera, but there is no quick and easy way. I should be able to download an app, log in, and see my status. That will put this product above everything else out there. I believe it's on their roadmap."

"The interface can sometimes be a little complicated."

"There is are issues with the compatibility of plugins with AIX servers."

"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."

"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."

"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."

"We need more hassle free plug-ins that offer Load and Start with minimal manual efforts."

More ITRS Geneos cons

"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."

"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."

"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."

"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."

"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."

"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"

"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."

"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 pricing is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the broader market."
