Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."

"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."

"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."

"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."

"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."

"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."

"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."

More eG Enterprise pros

"When we have mobile operators who are signal partners, where one is the roaming host and another is the roamer, we are able to see their traffic. Their packets are able to detect if any faults to develop, and at what point they fail."

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

"We use it for monitoring whenever we update a new circuit or site."

"It allows us to get quicker resolutions. We can see exactly what is using up the bandwidth, so we can assist end users."

"The most valuable features are speed and cost."

"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."

"It is very rock solid. We hardly have any hardware issues."

"The tool has the ability to look back within a month's data. It is very easy to navigate within the tool and troubleshoot the problem, compared to other solutions that we've used in the past."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG pros

Cons

"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."

"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."

"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."

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

"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."

"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."

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

"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."

More eG Enterprise cons

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

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

"Only problems that we have had are fiber issues going into the TAPs or vSTREAMs, which are usually local site issues."

"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."

"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."

"We don't use the single pane of glass view, even though we own it."

"It's not able to communicate with our probes."

"Being able to manage the packet flow switches in nGeniusONE would be great."

More NETSCOUT InfiniStreamNG cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."

"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."

"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."

"It is not expensive."

"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."

"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."

More eG Enterprise pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"This product could be cheaper."

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

"The price is a little high."

"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."
