Consultant at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.

Efficient monitoring and alerting enhance operational insights
With Grafana Enterprise Stack, we can identify issues that New Relic cannot help with. While New Relic requires purchase and supports frontend and backend components, Grafana Enterprise Stack helps identify where issues are occurring. When we need to deep dive into issues, we use New Relic to trace transactions and determine where maximum impact occurs, whether in core size, DB side, or frontend components that slow performance. We first evaluate with Grafana Enterprise Stack, then move to New Relic if we identify performance degradation, such as DB queries taking too much time. Grafana Enterprise Stack responds to queries within 6 to 12 hours. They contact users through email immediately when available. Similarly, New Relic follows the same pattern, responding immediately when requests are raised and resolving issues promptly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"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 support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"The product is simple to use."
"We, for example, cut the costs by using the tool, and we also reduced the number of calls, which was one of the main value-adds for our operations department, as we were able to cut service requests by 75%."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"The most valuable features for us are dashboards; we can dashboard anything that we can think of, we can dashboard and measure."
"The dashboards are pretty good."
"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"It is very easy to deploy and integrate with any application or infrastructure layer."
"Grafana Enterprise Stack is a powerful open-source platform with robust capabilities in data visualizations, dashboard creations, and alerting."
"The most valuable features of Grafana for data visualization are its ability to create intuitive dashboards and its wide range of visualization options like graphs, charts, and tables."
"Our productivity has improved with its use."
"It is truly reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"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."
"The solution should include integration with Power BI."
"Productivity has been improved with the use of Grafana Enterprise Stack, but cost savings or return on investment specifics are not clear."
"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."
"In terms of what Grafana provides, it just provides the charting tools. Everything else is third-party."
"Integrating AI capabilities for automated self-healing and reduced manual interventions would be valuable."
"I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana."
"The layout is good, but I think it needs some enhancement based on my experience."
"I find Grafana really hard to configure. It's difficult to build the dashboard, and it's non-intuitive. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work with Grafana."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"The product is very cheap."
"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."
"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 is not expensive."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"I use the tool's free license."
