We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Database Monitoring and ITRS Geneos based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Database scaling or migration projects play a supportive role throughout the development, monitoring, and troubleshooting phases."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's dashboarding is its best feature."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"I have found some of the valuable features of AppDynamics Database Monitoring to be once the installation is complete, you are able to quickly start receiving metrics, which is great. The user interface is also very user-friendly."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring's most valuable feature is the ability of the out-of-the-box to update the information, provide various metrics, and possibly include custom metrics."
"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."
"The ability to identify the top running queries has been extremely valuable for us."
"The product is stable and the technical support is good."
"It's a very powerful application monitoring tool across the industry. Many free, open-source tools are available. There are also paid tools, but ITRS Geneos is a real-time application monitoring tool where the user can monitor, self-configure, and manage alerts through their console."
"Tons of default modules which are available out of the box"
"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."
"Geneos automatically sends email notifications when any batch job fails, the database is down or the website is down. It is automatically monitoring everything and reduces manual effort."
"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 NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"The setup, implementation and use are clumsy and need to be refined."
"The application monitoring needs improvement. It needs to be easier for someone who isn't a proficient developer."
"I believe they need to increase their level of visibility in the infrastructure, particularly in the infrastructure monitoring section, which currently lacks visibility."
"The major concern lies with reports, specifically their configurability. It's like, if I want to combine multiple reports and generate them all at once, that's not possible. Even though there's a setup for generating 25 reports, I wanted to group them all and generate them in one go, which isn't currently feasible. I have to manually run each report and set the time for it."
"An improvement could be if the monitoring was able to be summarized into something more clear and simple for people who don't have the technical skills on the database side."
"The product lost its place as an industry leader."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"The synthetic scripting for end-user monitoring could be a little bit broader. Instead of using just Python, they can include a few other languages so that not everyone has to jump on the bandwagon for Python and do Selenium scripting. They can open up that a bit to make it simpler for people to do the scripting."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"Data visualization – real time and historical – is a weakness."
"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer."
"Their cloud monitoring solution needs to be improved. I have already given them the feedback that it's not capable of meeting the latest technology needs."
"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."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
