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.

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 monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."

"User session details"

"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."

"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."

"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."

"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."

"The product is simple to use."

More eG Enterprise pros

"The technical support is really good. They will go above and beyond, if you are running into a problem. You can go to a sales engineer, who will engage technical support to help you out."

"The product is stable. I have never had any issue where we have lost an InfiniStream, or visibility from that particular InfiniStream, throughout the bank."

"The real-time troubleshooting and application segregation that you can do within it."

"I love the single pane of glass view. It makes it easier to not have to navigate everywhere. It allows more simplistic visibility, without having to go from tool to tool to tool, or from window to window to window."

"The ability to troubleshoot customers' connectivity has been very beneficial."

"It's an easy product to set up."

"It has cut our troubleshooting down by days. Once we have a product in place, we show people examples of how it can streamline their troubleshooting process."

"The most valuable features are speed and cost."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG pros

Cons

"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."

"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 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."

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."

"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."

"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."

More eG Enterprise cons

"The single pane of glass feed still needs work."

"The technology goes end-of-life on us every year, which is why I am looking forward to vSTREAM. I don't like when devices go end-of-life on us so quickly. If we can get more of an advanced notice of when an end-of-life is brought up, because our certification process within the organization takes a while."

"There is a timeout feature that we have been asking for awhile."

"The stability depends on who is using the tool, because you only can get as much out of the tool as you put into it. There are a lot of patches for this particular environment, so you have to keep on them. If you lose track of them, then the product is not useful anymore."

"The NetFlow Collectors could handle more flows per minute."

"The monitoring and reporting tool needs improvement. Users want more information, such as the level of detail when doing a packet analysis. They want more detail to be able to isolate down to a specific point."

"I'd like them to make the product more user-friendly."

"The scalability has some limitations and quirks to it. I would like to be able to upgrade rather than replace the whole thing."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."

"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."

"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."

More eG Enterprise pricing and cost advice

"The price is a little high."

"I would like it to be more scalable with less spend."

"The scalability is good, but it comes at a cost. E.g., if you need 100 InfiniStream because you are sending gigs or terabytes of data to one InfiniStream, then you will have to purchase another InfiniStream, which are not cheap."

"It can be scalable. It just costs too much. With a company as big as ours, it gets too expensive to accommodate every single site."

"To capture more with the solution that we bought, you have to buy another InfiniStreamNG, and there are only four ports in the back."

"This product could be cheaper."

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
