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."I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"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."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"The clean and colorful UI and easy to use options like snooze and active times."
"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."
"The biggest benefit of Geneos is the fact that we can clearly see, if we have an alert, where that alert has come from. We can see the data around that alert and anything that might be relevant is also shown. We can very easily right-click and see why we've received that alert. That's the best part about it, that you've got all the data there with the alerting."
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
"The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for."
"It can log more logs than other solutions. It's a good way to troubleshoot problems."
"We have a one stop dashboard for health of some of our services where you can click in and it takes you to other dashboards that have custom near real-time metrics that show the application's health."
"The ability to digest any information and then correlate it in accordance with what you need is valuable. The ability to connect to pretty much everything and bring the information in the same format is also valuable. On top of that, we can use their language in order to create and customize the dashboards, correlations, or analytics that we want to incorporate."
"The data analysis part is good in Splunk, which is something that I like the most. It is also quite easy to use. Its dashboards, visualizations, and analytics are good."
"Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations."
"The solution has made us more secure."
"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."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"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."
"A lightweight version which could host more than 100 gateways, as we can see slowness while loading all our gateways."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"ITRS Geneos is not on the cloud at a time when everyone is moving to the cloud."
"I find the graphical options really limited and you don't have enough control over how to display the data that you want to see."
"Professional support is great, but too expensive."
"It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience."
"The analytics of Splunk could be improved."
"AngularJS/ReactJS inclusion could be made easier in GUI."
"Splunk can improve regex/asset analysis as we do not want to crawl until it is done."
"Its interface could be improved."
"It can be tough to get a hold of somebody in technical support depending on the complexity of the issue."
