Pros
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics.""The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time.""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 Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring.""The product is simple to use.""Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments.""The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance.""It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."

"Chain management is a good feature. I don't get it on other solutions.""Enables maps to be drawn out.""A reliable, time-saving tool for providing accurate layer 2 and layer 3 network mappings.""NetBrain is a very simple tool.""This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities."

Cons
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful.""Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more.""Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities.""The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards.""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 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.""Back-end configuration is not easy to implement.""would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."

More eG Enterprise Cons →

"The IP interface brief isn't consistent.""Support needs to improve for the installed product and some of the reporting could be more flexible to provide more complete cataloging.""Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network.""The solution could integrate more automation.""It would be nice if the setup was a little simpler. Also, if the solution could provide more training materials for new people coming into our company so they can quickly learn how to use the functionalities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
  • "It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
  • "They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
  • "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."
  • "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 expensive, but less expensive than some of the competition and worth the price."
  • "Licensing is based on a per-device basis, which means that it can get very expensive if you have a large number of devices."

Organizations are able to quickly identify underperforming applications, discover and diagnose problems, and remediate issues to ensure that optimal levels of productivity and profitability are being maintained at all times.

    • Cloud Monitoring: eG Enterprise provides effective monitoring for all of an organization's cloud infrastructures, including public, hybrid and private. eG Enterprise is able to facilitate the concise mapping of the relationships between tiers and discover the reasons for performance problems immediately before they reach the end user. eG Enterprise can be deployed on premises or as a SaaS-based solution.

    Reviews from Real Users

    “The product makes data collection easy. It's simple to set up. The algorithm is the most valuable aspect of the solution. In a few minutes after the installations, we can get insights from my technical environment. After a few minutes, I can get some valuable insights to make decisions.” - Anderson L., LatAm Presales Analyst at CLM

    “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.” - A PeerSpot user who is a Consultant at a tech services company

    Managing today’s networks with yesterday’s manual processes is no longer a viable solution. NetBrain’s network automation platform provides actionable insights into your network to help you make better and faster decisions - particularly when you’re troubleshooting, securing, and making changes to the network.
