Solution Architect at SA Consulting
Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.
Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
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

"There is nothing we can't monitor with this product and do so in a very easy and efficient manner."
"I believe that the fundamentals and the logic of how UIM is set up is very stable, providing the essentials to extract data from an environment, present it through a front-end using graphs and charts, and allow for crucial analysis on the collected data, with UIM doing a good job of managing all the steps along the way."
"With UIM, the one thing I've learned is there's hundreds of ways of doing it and they're all right."
"Not only are our internal processes simplified and enhanced by UIM but it also adds value to the services we provide to our customers."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters."
"There is some depth into what we can watch from processes, logs, as well as URLs, and synthetics, so we have the overall ability to manage everything with UIM."
"If you need an all-in-one solution that's easy to maintain, to scale and that you can rely on - Nimsoft Monitor is a good solution."
"CA UIM comes out on top very often as it excels in all four of the above criteria, and is also easy to deploy and comparably simple to operate."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"We haven't really had an issue per se, but there was a time when we had some network devices that were down, and eG showed us pretty quickly that that part of the network was down."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use, it's a simple product, and you can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"Customer service and support are superb."
 

Cons

"Stability issues: Q issues at very slow dashboards (flash!!!)."
"Technical support is OK. It varies depending on issues."
"Support SLA for response and resolution is pathetic, even the quality of resolution is not up to the level of expectations."
"I would like to see improvements in the maintenance mode area."
"UIM does have a large initial learning curve for new users, and you must learn the basic architecture."
"The UIM product is playing catch-up. They are not there yet to do a lot of the next-level things that we need them to do."
"Very complex, little documentation and NMS is more of a middleware to build your own monitoring on top of, rather than an end-to-end system."
"It seems clunky, not as user friendly as Spectrum, for example."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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."
"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."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"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."
