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."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 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)."
"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."
"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."
"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."
"I would say that it is an easy-to-use monitoring tool. Amongst the available monitoring tools, it is a really good option."
"It's also easy to implement. The implementation of Geneos is very easy and interesting. It's not complicated. It's very quick to implement. The installation is very easy. There are many topics about ITRS Geneos that explain more about the features of the function of Geneos."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"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 dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"I would like to see ITRS integrate its setup editor with a SVN to check-in setup XML after major changes."
"Much of the reporting outside of the user interface is very basic and requires much customization to be useful."
"One thing that could be improved in terms of rapid scaling would be more ability to clone aspects of an implementation. It seems like there are opportunities in this area, where we have repetitive tasks to do when it comes to implementing things on new servers or on new gateways. It would be great if there was an easy way to clone something that had already been done."
"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."
"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."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"They need more EDR functionalities."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
