Muhammad Usman Khawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Native integration simplifies monitoring but documentation and cost improvements are needed
The ease of access in Azure is significant since it's native to the platform and easy to integrate. It has no maintenance overhead, and users don't have to navigate to another portal to get their desired result. It's the handiness that it has, rather than the features. The interpretation from the logs and injection requires custom runbooks. While it's complex, many services provide native insights and workbooks. It does the basic job quite efficiently. They added new kinds of metrics with more integrations to send out metrics. They have even added support for third-party tools that can be integrated. Azure Monitor is working on improvements and becoming more mature. Azure Monitor is stable and scalable. Azure Monitor is evolving with new workbooks and dashboards.

Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

"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."
"User session details"

"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
 

Cons

"They need to work on a more hybrid deployment that will allow us to monitor local on-premise deployments and connect to different systems. I would like to see more integration."
"Azure Monitor could improve by adding capabilities for data observability and integrating more tightly with their data platform components."
"The length of latency is terrible and needs to be improved."
"We cannot use AI services with the solution."
"Azure Monitor can improve by adding some kind of storage for logs."
"Using Azure Monitor and Azure Arc separately to monitor different environments can be complicated."
"Azure Monitor could improve network performance monitoring and make it more advanced."
"Automation related to gathering metrics from more applications could be improved."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"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."
"The integration must be improved."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."

"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."
"You may get some monitoring products with certain licensing you may own. Some of these can take ages to configure and setup, along with needing a license to drive the software."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"It is not expensive."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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."
