Proactive monitoring has improved uptime and now detects performance issues before users suffer
The user interface and configuration experience could be more modern and streamlined in some areas, especially when managing a large number of monitors or creating complex monitoring workflows. Better navigation, integration, and more intuitive customizations for the dashboard and alerts would improve the overall operational experience. Dashboard customizations and reporting flexibility represent another improvement area. More advanced visualization options and an easier way to create tailored operational dashboards would help the team analyze trends and share insights more effectively. The integration ecosystem could also be expanded further, especially for modern DevOps and cloud-native workflows. Stronger native integrations with collaboration tools, observability platforms, and CI/CD pipelines would make it easier to fit into the evolving engineering environment. It would also help to have more automation-friendly capabilities such as easier API-based configurations, management, and infrastructure as code support for monitor provisioning. That would make large-scale monitoring management more efficient for the DevOps team. From a support perspective, the experience has been generally stable, but faster turnaround times for more complex technical issues and more detailed troubleshooting guidance would be beneficial. Improved documentation and more advanced implementation best practices for enterprise-scale deployment would also help the team onboard and optimize the platform more effectively. AlertSite would benefit from continued modernizations in a few areas. The biggest improvement would be a more intuitive and modern user experience for configuring monitoring, managing alerts, and navigating dashboards, especially in larger environments with many monitored services. Stronger integrations with modern cloud-native DevOps ecosystems including better automation support, richer APIs, and easy integration with CI/CD pipelines and observability platforms would also be helpful. Another improvement area is intelligent alert management. Features such as smart alert correlations, anomaly detections, and noise reduction would help operations teams focus on the most critical incidents more effectively.

End-to-end monitoring has improved user experience and now supports comprehensive observability
The most valuable features of eG Enterprise depend on the application, so that's pretty vast, but they definitely include end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring. User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best feature of AlertSite is that it shows you a visual graph and also sends you notifications about errors, so you get immediate notifications about errors which means that your support team can start taking steps and more quickly make sure the site is up and that customer experience isn't interrupted in terms of using your system and your products. AlertSite is a very good tool. It's user-friendly, and you can see everything on the dashboard. Configuring it is also easy."
"This solution has numerous advantages; it's extremely simple to configure, and either digital monitors or single-URL monitors are simple to configure and build."
"I highly recommend AlertSite to other users."
"AlertSite has helped improve issue detection, reduce downtime risk, and support faster troubleshooting in the production environment."
"My company went with AlertSite because as a tool, it's fast, easy to maintain, and provides great support."
"If there are any issues, it triggers an alert within 30 seconds. When it triggers the alert, we go ahead and check it immediately. The alert is triggered on a real-time basis."
"The alerting capabilities of AlertSite were really helpful."
"The return on investment of this solution is well witnessed in our organization because of the integration and various capabilities that it offers to interact with the upstream or downstream systems."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"Excellent level of support."
"User session details"
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"I think eG Innovations has created a nifty tool to make our lives a lot easier, now we just have to implement end to end monitoring to be able to use this tool."
"Customer service and support are superb."
"We, for example, cut the costs by using the tool, and we also reduced the number of calls, which was one of the main value-adds for our operations department, as we were able to cut service requests by 75%."
 

Cons

"What needs improvement in AlertSite is the documentation, particularly the lack of documentation."
"What needs improvement in AlertSite is the documentation, particularly the lack of documentation. If there's a specific activity you want to do, you can't even find information on how to do it, so you have to contact the AlertSite support team to assist you, and only then would the issue be resolved. At the moment, it's not easy to find or get full documentation on how to deal with different issues. You always have to go back to AlertSite support and get help. The documentation for AlertSite could be improved and it's what I'd like to see in the next release of the tool because at the moment, the documentation isn't complete, so you'll have to contact support, but contacting support isn't an issue because the team responds to you quickly."
"It is not compatible with all of the product platforms that we use."
"The user interface and configuration experience could be more modern and streamlined in some areas, especially when managing a large number of monitors or creating complex monitoring workflows."
"One area that needs improvement in AlertSite is the slow UI. I'm using the classic UI because it's quite user-friendly, or in human-readable format, but it's a little slow. It takes time to load all the monitors, so if that could be sped up, that would be helpful. The AlertSite support team also needs improvement in terms of availability. Most of the agents in the team aren't available 24 x 7, so if there's something you need to discuss, you need to tell the support team ahead of time to schedule it. Multiple times, when a case comes up during weekends or whenever my team is doing an update, support needs improvement, availability-wise. I use AlertSite for synthetic monitoring, so whatever is available right now is okay, but if I want to request a new feature on a website, currently, the UI refreshes automatically. I would like to have the option on AlertSite to configure that manually. The UI auto-updates every few minutes, so if I can control that manually, that would be helpful."
"In terms of support, it is all based on the cost of the subscription that our company purchased, but it wasn't great, and it could've been much better."
"Additionally, support from AlertSite is not at an enterprise level since it is not offered 24/7."
"AlertSite sometimes triggers false alerts or fake alerts, which needs to be rectified. When we see an alert and go ahead and run certain tests on it, the test always passes. However, on the main screen, it shows up as critical. Therefore, the false alert needs to be fixed."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The integration must be improved."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchased the license once and had the option of selecting the number of user licenses."
"The cost is high."
"My company pays to use AlertSite, but I'm unsure of the exact costs because it depends on how many monitors you have."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"It is not expensive."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The product is very cheap."
