"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
 

Cons

"The product’s security features need improvement."
"AWS Auto Scaling's documentation could be better."
"The billing and cost optimization of the solution could be improved."
"The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers."
"The solution must improve automation."
"It is sometimes very critical to deploy on AWS since some servers are already running in the background. There are challenges for employees on how to deploy at a given time."
"It could be cheaper."
"In comparison to other public clouds, the product is costly."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."

"The integration must be improved."
