Good end-to-end voice quality monitoring and offers valuable features
The solution should have automatic baseline detection. On the per hour, per base, per week. That's usually the best. And on a per individual CI level. I know that they're working on it and when that's available then we will definitely implement it because it will reduce the effort we need to maintain all the products. Right now we have to set thresholds for every location, and it needs to be actually dynamic so if we have better thresholding, we'll have faster alarms across all our locations. We won't have to expend effort on it by resetting or checking them on a regular basis.

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.

Pros

"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"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."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The product is simple to use."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"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."
 

Cons

"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"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."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"It is not expensive."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
