Real-time monitoring has improved incident response and supports proactive anomaly detection
The advantages and strong points of ITRS Geneos for me personally are seamless integration with existing systems as well as upcoming modern systems. The user interface is really good. From a management point of view, these are the key aspects with respect to the user interface and seamless integration. We get very good community support for this product.

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"
"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 great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"For my application, Geneos is detecting and helping us avoid outages at least once a day."
"The good thing is you get something out of it day one, you don't need years of training, and then you can build on that."
"We have been able to monitor the repeated critical alerts and work on producing a more stable environment for our customers."
"Everything that is around the digital performance environment, I can see."
"The product can scale."
 

Cons

"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"In some cases Netprobe can be unstable."
"I think there's a very steep learning curve with the product."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"We sometimes experienced disconnects of the gateways which was a hard one to resolve."
"As far as I know, ITRS does not have integration with any version control system."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
 

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."
"Its price is reasonable. It isn't too expensive, and it isn't too cheap, but it also depends on a company's volume and negotiation."
"You will get the best price if you get a single global deal."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
"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."
"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."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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."
