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.

Senior Systems Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 201-500 employees
Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"After trying many products with little satisfaction, we can finally say that we have found the best product on the market to monitor Citrix environments."
"I think eG Innovations has created a nifty tool to make our lives a lot easier, now we just have to implement end to end monitoring to be able to use this tool."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"We were able to stabilize our backend and middle systems."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"I like that the solution offers a diversity of things; it can give you resource monitoring, it can be integrated to detect an application crash, to capture syslog, things like that, and I like the diversity of the dashboard."
"I think Goliath offers a very good tool to do simulated Citrix logons with actual user accounts and that the reports are useful to monitor and debug a session."
"My overall conclusion is that it is a valuable product for simulating Citrix logons because it does it with minimal effort and with a real user account."
"Offers a diversity of features."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"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 solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The integration must be improved."
"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."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"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 is not expensive."
"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 price seems reasonable."
