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 Management (APM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The flexibility of the product is most valuable. It is highly customizable. If you put your mind to it and think of something you could do, there's a good possibility you can get it integrated within the console, if it's not readily available. The simplicity or ease of customization has been valuable."
"One of the most valuable features of ITRS Geneos is the active time feature that helps with the trading applications that I support."
"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 solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"The ability to completely tailor and customize what it's monitoring is one of its strongest points. A lot of other monitoring tools are good at certain things, but one of my colleagues described it as the “Swiss Army Knife” of monitoring tools. It can do anything you want."
"The remarkable feature of Geneos is the dashboard. Geneos' flexible dashboard sets it apart from other monitoring tools. Other solutions have limitations in their dashboard design and can't be customized as much. The Geneos dashboard allows unlimited creativity."
"I always appreciate Geneos's stability and ease of use."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"I really like the user interface and how it works."
"It is the best tool if you have a complex environment or if data ingestion is too huge."
"You can use it to gather syslog messages from anything."
"The varied prebuilt feature is the most valuable because it ensures that we have complete coverage over all of the key questions."
"The product is good, it satisfies our customers."
"I am satisfied with the support."
"The scalability is good."
"Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later."
"For the last year or two, I've been asking the vendor about the mobile app. This is something that probably everyone asks when they see the tool and they see how powerful it is. If there is any mobile app for this or if there is any way this tool can be more easily accessible other than having a big client installed, it would be great. I know you can build dashboards, et cetera, but there is no quick and easy way. I should be able to download an app, log in, and see my status. That will put this product above everything else out there. I believe it's on their roadmap."
"There is one drawback to using lightweight data collection: we lack the feature of observability based on time series, such as historical model data. This makes it difficult to view data in ITRS. ITRS needs to improve this feature."
"For the solution to stay relevant in the cloud-based monitoring environment Geneos needs more plug-ins with more features. Instead of offering clients workarounds, the solution should have a cloud-based out-of-the-box version."
"Geneos' application monitoring could be improved a lot. Products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace provide the process thread-level monitoring, but Geneos lacks these capabilities."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"I would like ITRS Geneos to develop an app, where instead of going to specific login terminals or logging into laptops or desktops to check alerts, we can have visibility in the app itself."
"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."
"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."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"The complexity could be worked on so that it's even easier and faster."
"Their technical support sucks."
"The analytics of Splunk could be improved."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems."
"The configuration could be better."
"From the commercial point of view, they have to bring down their costs."
