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 ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"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."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"User session details"
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The integration must be improved."
"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."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​Use it. It is free."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"HPE could lower the price."
