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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer service is fantastic!! They are very responsive and always follow up to ensure a solution has been provided."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"Customer service and support are superb."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"Excellent level of support."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
"If you're looking for a tool that will solve your problems in a short period of time more effectively, LiveNX is the right tool."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"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."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"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."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The integration must be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"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 customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"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."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
 

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