Ravi ShankarSundarasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise Cloud Architect at Blue Yonder
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. ITRS Geneos has impacted my organization positively, and I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.
IhorShtanko - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant Of Juniper Networks Division at MUK
AI assistant has transformed network troubleshooting and now reduces downtime and support tickets
Marvis Virtual Network Assistant has resolved all problems that network administrators face, making it challenging to identify areas for improvement. Marvis provides good analytics, recommendations, and problem resolutions. One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English. For example, since I live in Ukraine, it would be beneficial to communicate with Marvis in Ukrainian because not all administrators know English.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Geneos gives us visibility on all of our systems at once and we can build dashboard views to monitor transactions moving from one system to another."
"It's a very effective and productive tool, and avoids any major incidents."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"It is better than any monitoring product I've ever used in terms of providing real-time metric data."
"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."
"One of the best aspects of Geneos is that it has a broad scope and can cover a lot of use cases. You can write your own scripts to monitor really specific things. And the rules that you can put in place can be quite complex for the alerts."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"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."
"I believe the pricing of Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is reasonable because it allows for a decrease in the quantity of network administrators needed and reduces operational costs."
"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant uses AI to find problems or to get information from devices."
"If you ask any questions about Marvis, it will respond immediately and use some solution. It will be very easy and save you time."
 

Cons

"In some cases Netprobe can be unstable."
"As far as I know, ITRS does not have integration with any version control system."
"Not a ten because when the Gateway was very overloaded it was very hard to monitor the alerts, especially for the product services."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer. Currently we have to export metrics data in real-time into some other visualization tools in order to get better picture and have a bit more functional dashboard."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"There is are issues with the compatibility of plugins with AIX servers."
"There is a one-second ceiling on responses to rule breaches."
"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."
"It should add real-time application visibility."
"It would be a good idea to integrate the solution to support other vendors besides Juniper."
"One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based on feedback from colleagues and friends working in the financial sector, Geneos is relatively costly. Many companies have been switching from Geneos to Dynatrace, Sysdig, or other monitoring tools in the past two years because of the price."
"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."
"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."
"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"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 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."
"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is not an expensive solution."
