Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Gregory Diana - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers very good charting capabilities and capable of automatically generating dashboards, even for a large number of data points
In terms of what Grafana provides, it just provides the charting tools. Everything else is third-party. It's like Node-RED. Node-RED is free, and you can choose an application, but that application depends on the person who's supporting it. If they decide not to support it, then you're stuck. However, I believe that it can't be improved or changed because people have to make money and make a living from it. Nothing will ever be changed. It depends on the software. Same as Windward. Windward just decided it could not support a large number of customers, so it focused on high-income, low-volume clients. Whereas Node-RED has millions of followers and fantastic support, the same as Grafana. Grafana is partly free, but it's your problem. That's how all these companies work. If you're big and you pay a lot of money, they'll pay attention to you.

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."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"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."
"User session details"
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"Compared to other packages, Grafana Enterprise Stack is user-friendly and easy to configure quickly."
"The ability to graph actual, live, or on-the-fly activity is valuable; it is an added value to work with Grafana Enterprise Stack and to display results or logs, which are huge in nature, in graphical characters."
"The dashboards are pretty good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time monitoring. It helps in securing the application or the node by allowing us to monitor and manage resource consumption during peak times. For instance, from 10 AM to 2 PM, we may experience high memory utilization. It helps us to solve these issues."
"It is truly reliable."
"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"Our productivity has improved with its use."
"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
 

Cons

"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"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 UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"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."
"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved."
"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved. Currently, one needs to ingest labels and timestamps for them to be connected, however, drilling down sometimes takes time."
"They could use more small tutorials to explain a bit about how Grafana works."
"I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana."
"If Grafana Enterprise Stack could display transaction queries in dashboard format similar to New Relic, it would provide more options and capabilities for users."
"The solution should include integration with Power BI."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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 product is very cheap."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"I use the tool's free license."
