We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and Splunk Enterprise Security 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."ITRS can define rules to alert when certain parameters that you monitor breach a threshold. Rules can be configured to fire recovery actions automatically to clear the alert"
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"The ability to logically normalize data gathered from multiple types of sources via pre-built plugins is extremely powerful. This functionality, coupled with the ability to import custom data via the Toolkit plugin allows Geneos to be leveraged to monitor every system in the enterprise."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"The feature that we use the most is the correlation search engine within ES."
"Splunk's visualizations make it easy for users to understand the data."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its data modeling."
"it can explain to management about what kind of traffic is visiting the network. It can also explain other traffic coming in and out, along with protecting against malware."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"I am satisfied with the support."
"The most valuable features are how stable and easy to use Splunk is."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"ITRS have started to make some major changes that we haven't taken on board yet, in the creation of dashboards and more visibility of the metrics that we collect. At the moment, that's something that's lacking, but I know they have addressed it. Still, it’s not that easy to create stuff to help with visibility and dashboarding in Geneos."
"I would also like to see suggested guidelines to accomplish a monitoring task. The issue is that ITRS is so flexible that there is more than one way to complete a task, each with benefits and disadvantages."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"One thing that could be improved in terms of rapid scaling would be more ability to clone aspects of an implementation. It seems like there are opportunities in this area, where we have repetitive tasks to do when it comes to implementing things on new servers or on new gateways. It would be great if there was an easy way to clone something that had already been done."
"The solution could use a different licensing model."
"The glass table feature does not perform as expected."
"Its search or filtering capability is nice, but it can be improved. It is currently a bit complicated, and it should be simplified. If we can write the search filter in a more simplified way, it would be better."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
"Licensing costs can be a barrier for those with limited budgets."
"I feel as though a major focus of upcoming releases should be set on Machine Learning, Predictive Analytics, and I would enjoy to see more security focused add-ons and apps developed by the vendor."
"The UI could be better. This is applicable to Splunk in general. I know that a lot of people who get their hands on Splunk are hesitant to use it just because they find it overwhelming. There are a lot of options."
"Its pricing model and integration with third-party services can be improved. We had faced an issue with integration. The alerting feature is currently not available with Splunk, but it is definitely available with Datadog and PagerDuty. They should include this feature. A few dashboards in Splunk look quite old and are not that modern. They aren't bad, but improving these dashboards will definitely make Splunk more attractive and usable. I read in a few blog posts that there were a few security incidents related to Splunk agents. So, it can be made more secure."
