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."Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is that it can be configured by non-developers. It doesn't require development expertise to configure it."
"This solution has helped provide relief to existing Level 2 teams, allowing them to focus efforts on in-depth problem analysis."
"The filtering in the Active Console is exceptional. Depending on the user base, some people don't want to see server-level errors, so we have filters set up in the Managed Entities view, which allow us to filter out things that certain groups don't want to see, while allowing them to see other things. It's a great real-time monitoring solution. And you can draw graphs immediately, right from the Active Console, whether they're current graphs or historical graphs."
"ITRS uses SNMP to communicate with our devices as well as SNMP net probes installed on our servers."
"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 ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
"My favorite example of improving of organization is saving a $60k/mo in payroll fraud and $10k/mo in wasted API credits by using simple searches and clear reports."
"The Splunk queries are valuable."
"From the class that I took this week, being able to create notable events from whatever you find in the data set is pretty useful."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"The level of robustness on offer is very good."
"We saw the granularity that we could get from Splunk far exceeded what we already had. We had the ability to have our security team really focus on the platform and stay within the platform, but they could correlate with a variety of other stakeholders, and our stakeholders were growing."
"Currently, it is difficult to monitor secure websites using SSL or with SSO enabled."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"We all look at the same things - CPU, disk space, paging stats, service status with RAG status on each. That could be provided straight out, saving significant time."
"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."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"t needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsft SQL servers."
"At the moment Geneos is excellent and handling real time monitoring, however not great at doing historical reporting."
"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated."
"The upgrading process could be smoother."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"The price of the solution could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved by better pricing in general and by easier installation."
"Their technical support sucks."
"It does not give us permission to implement on-premise so we implement them on the cloud."
"Splunk can improve its third-party device application plugins."
