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."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."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"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."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"The built-in plug-ins allow administrators to easily configure monitoring components for market data systems such as Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform and SRLabs Wombat (formerly NYSE)."
"The most valuable feature is the log aggregation, being able to scan through all of the logs."
"The product provides visibility and enables us to correlate data and generate alerts."
"The correlation searches are most valuable just because we are able to do things like RBA."
"It has quite extensive support in terms of integration. If you want to do anything, there are tools for that."
"The solution has plenty of features that are good."
"Visualizations helped the organisation with a better understanding of its KPIs."
"Splunk helps us be more proactive. We can take predictive action to identify and block threats so that nothing harmful gets into the system."
"You can integrate Splunk with third-party security automation solutions and set rules for automatic response."
"It needs to be easier to configure, especially with the JMX plugins."
"The deployment method for upgrading is a bit tricky. It takes a little bit of manual effort. If that could be a bit more automated, it would help us a lot."
"I would really like to see something from the Geneos side to set up automated reporting from ITRS. We have to send reporting to management every day. To do that we have to check the dashboard and then we have to report whether everything is fine or not. In the future, I want something, some reporting kind of feature in ITRS, where it can collect all the data and mention what is green, what is amber, what is red in a report."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"Sometimes, if there is a lot of data coming onto the servers, we have observed a little bit of slowness on the gateway servers which are doing the ITRS dashboard monitoring."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"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."
"The product must improve insider threat detection."
"Custom visualizations are real hard. While the default visualizations are good, creating enhanced visualizations are complex."
"Splunk does not provide any default threat intelligence like Microsoft Sentinel, but you can integrate any third-party threat intelligence with Splunk. By default, no threat intelligence suite is there, whereas, with IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel, the default feature of threat intelligence is there. It is free. If Splunk can provide a default threat intelligence suite, it would be better."
"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad."
"It is important to make sure that everything is built off of the threat models and all the underlying items within Splunk."
"The access and identity features could be improved. For example, let's say we have onboarded 65 logs. Now, we can identify the various processes, but we run into trouble when we're updating the processes for AWS CloudTrail, EDR, MDR, and XDR."
"An improved user interface along with multi-tenancy support would be beneficial."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
