Featured Reviews

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.
Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I hope this quick overview of version 6.1 of eG innovation Enterprise gives a nice insight in what they offer today, visit them at https://eginnovations.com ( https://eginnovations.com/ ) to find out more."
"Customer service and support are superb."
"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."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"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."
"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%."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"It is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"The only downside to this software is the price; it's a very pricey solution and very expensive, and it requires a good amount of resources in terms of server memory."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
 

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."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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."
"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 solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"It's very expensive."
