We performed a comparison between ITRS Geneos and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This tool allows one to analyse, integrate and customize as per the systems and allows you to set your own rules."
"The solution is used across the entire investment banking division, covering environments such as electronic trading, algo-trading, fixed income, FX, etc. It monitors that environment and enables a bank to significantly reduce down time. Although hard to measure, since implementation, we have probably seen some increased stability because of it and we have definitely seen teams a lot more aware of their environment. Consequently, we can be more proactive in challenging and improving previously undetected weaknesses."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"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."
"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 dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"It's a bit difficult to use. It takes some time to get into it and to get it to do what you would like it to do. It is not straightforward to use it."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
