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.

System Integration Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Provides robust infrastructure monitoring with excellent integrations and alert predictions but needs improved AIOps capabilities
If we treat OpsRamp as an infrastructure monitoring tool, there are many positive aspects. However, when viewed as an AIOps tool, there are numerous potential additions. Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement. They are introducing observability as a feature where metrics, logs, and traces can be implemented, but this is currently in a primitive state that can grow over time. The platform is very stable, and the UI is excellent. However, regarding AIOps features, enhancements could be made to provide more value, such as dynamic thresholding and other capabilities that competitor tools have, such as LogicMonitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The built-in plug-ins allow administrators to easily configure monitoring components for market data systems such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and SRLabs Wombat (formerly NYSE)."
"ITRS is significantly better than PRTG and saves us a lot of time in development."
"Our support team can monitor our applications and servers easily and we were able to reduce the time in finding errors and providing a solution."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"The Netprobe is so lightweight compared to the agents that most monitoring tools use. It's really superior to the competition. The agent that is used by almost every competitive tool takes a lot more system resources. It's slower and it requires a greater effort and more compromises in terms of security to install on the monitored servers. With Geneos, because it lives outside the code, it is far easier and far less taxing on the monitored systems."
"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."
"Geneos enables customized aggregate views and alerts for both related and disparate components, and this flexibility and insight facilitates proactive and prompt causation analysis so you can easily see everything at once and know why there is an issue within seconds rather than spend precious time trying to find out."
"The flexibility of the product is most valuable. It is highly customizable. If you put your mind to it and think of something you could do, there's a good possibility you can get it integrated within the console, if it's not readily available. The simplicity or ease of customization has been valuable."
"The most valuable feature of OpsRamp is the creation of the dashboards of the infrastructure for the CPU memory and SQL servers. Additionally, URL monitoring through Selenium scripting and the availability dashboard is useful."
"It greatly assists small and medium-sized businesses in using the ITSM, alerting, and monitoring features."
"We don't have to monitor each resource because OpsRamp does the monitoring for us and generates alerts based on the thresholds, so we can automatically notify customers of any spikes on their virtual machines."
"Most features work fine."
"We find the products seamless integration with Zendesk to be extremely valuable to our business."
"The most valuable feature of this solution in my experience, is that the available reporting is quite accurate."
"The most valuable features of OpsRamp include a single pane of glass, event correlation, personalized dashboards, and a single platform solution."
"The feature we found most valuable in OpsRamp is alert generation because whenever there is any kind of spike on any virtual machine, the solution generates alerts based on the thresholds we implemented. We have integrated our ideas and tools with OpsRamp, so alerts are generated, then we notify the customers. That's the main feature we like about OpsRamp because we don't have to monitor each resource. Instead, OpsRamp does the monitoring for us, and it generates the alerts based on the thresholds."
 

Cons

"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"I would like better access to the data that is being collected."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"Sometimes there were issues with the database. If the database logging was high then the gateway would be slow."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"I think there's a very steep learning curve with the product."
"Still, it’s not that easy to create stuff to help with visibility and dashboarding in Geneos."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"This is an emerging tool and they have tried to consolidate everything not always with success."
"Technical support should be improved, and I have noticed other areas in OpsRamp that could be improved or enhanced."
"Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement."
"What's lacking in OpsRamp is process automation, and if there is, I wish there could be more of it, other than just spikes, or it would be better if the alerts can be generated based on different matrices. That option is absent in OpsRamp at the moment, and it would be valuable if that could be provided in the solution, especially if there's any kind of security issue in the VM."
"We would like this solution to be developed into a full CMP tool, so that we are able to use a single product for all of our cloud management needs."
"There is definitely room for improvement."
"OpsRamp had shortcomings associated with its network capabilities."
"OpsRamp could improve the critical alerts. We have been receiving some false alerts when monitoring. For example, the alert shows the site is down, but when we try to do manual access to the URL, it's accessible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"
"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 pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing cost for OpsRamp, but I just know that its pricing is based on the resource count for each tenant."
"There is an annual licensing fee to use OpsRamp."
"You pay it for a year and you'll have full access to the entire platform, not only for monitoring and alerting, you will have access to the entire platform, and whatever technology they develop will be made available to you."
"OpsRamp is a cost-effective solution."
