A reliable solution for SSL offloading and to encrypt outside traffic
If you are responsible for monitoring the logs in F5, it isn't very easy. The format is complicated compared to different vendors. For example, Fortinet and Cisco have feasible formats for sending and fetching logs. Suppose I'm monitoring the logs and everything, and when I am retrieving logs from F5, I want to know whether it is regular traffic or any abnormality is happening. The logs itself is not user-friendly. It may not give you a clear way of what's happening. You have to go through different websites and work on it. You have to waste so much time on it.

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

"From our experience, it really helps managers in measuring application SLAs and viewing historical performance data."
"Each had strengths in one area or another, but CA covered the majority of our needs end-to-end."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"Absolutely choose it. It is a great company. They are always available."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
 

Cons

"Pricing makes little sense. We had examples where it would be cheaper to have two basic accounts than one intermediate."
"The RBMS component is limited as you can only record using Internet Explorer."
"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."
"I would not buy this product again knowing what I know now. It takes too much time and it is still not where it used to be."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower."
"One thing that I don't like about eG is like the interface. It's not really that user-friendly to make a change, or to navigate through."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
