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.

Cost effective but when we originally purchased LANGuardian, some features needed further development.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"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."
"After trying many products with little satisfaction, we can finally say that we have found the best product on the market to monitor Citrix environments."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"User session details"
"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"If you are looking for a solid solution that can be easily deployed then I'd recommend considering Netfort solutions."
"Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations", and Languardian was the most efficient and effective tool for the job."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"Sure, at the time we bought the product, the GUI and graphs/reports/pie charts etc ... were not fully developed."
"It takes a long time to load results. I think it would be great if they fix the slowness issue in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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"
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"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."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"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."
