We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"One thing we're utilizing in Geneos is the Gateway-SQL. That's really helpful for us. Using Gateway-SQL, we are able to merge two different views into one. Suppose we have to check something in the log and that we have to check something in the database and do a comparison before publishing a result. We can achieve that using Gateway-SQL."
"It's also easy to implement. The implementation of Geneos is very easy and interesting. It's not complicated. It's very quick to implement. The installation is very easy. There are many topics about ITRS Geneos that explain more about the features of the function of Geneos."
"The biggest benefit of Geneos is the fact that we can clearly see, if we have an alert, where that alert has come from. We can see the data around that alert and anything that might be relevant is also shown. We can very easily right-click and see why we've received that alert. That's the best part about it, that you've got all the data there with the alerting."
"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."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"Ability to monitor logs for potential issues to prevent app outages before problems get a chance to arise. That's invaluable for our teams in a fast-paced trading environment."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."
"Device grouping is very easy, and you can discover thousands of devices in a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the simplicity of adding new devices into it."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"For the solution to stay relevant in the cloud-based monitoring environment Geneos needs more plug-ins with more features. Instead of offering clients workarounds, the solution should have a cloud-based out-of-the-box version."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"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."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and it would be nice if there were enhanced options for reporting."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
