Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"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 clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"The remarkable feature of Geneos is the dashboard. Geneos' flexible dashboard sets it apart from other monitoring tools. Other solutions have limitations in their dashboard design and can't be customized as much. The Geneos dashboard allows unlimited creativity."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"Custom script toolkits"
"Provides timely notifications."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"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."
"There is one drawback to using lightweight data collection: we lack the feature of observability based on time series, such as historical model data. This makes it difficult to view data in ITRS. ITRS needs to improve this feature."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"We all look at the same things - CPU, disk space, paging stats, service status with RAG status on each. That could be provided straight out, saving significant time."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"The initial setup process could be easier."
