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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"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."
"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."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"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."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can 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."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"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 interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
