eG Enterprise and Nmap both compete in the monitoring and network scanning domain. Based on the comparison, Nmap has the upper hand with its free cost and flexibility for network security audits.
Features: eG Enterprise provides end-to-end monitoring, a single-pane view covering Citrix stack, user sessions, and service topology, making setup straightforward. It includes robust application performance monitoring. Nmap offers detailed network scanning, supports multiple protocols, and integrates with other tools for network visibility.
Room for Improvement: eG Enterprise interfaces are outdated, and dashboard customization is needed along with better alert configuration. Its pricing is considered high by users. Nmap needs a user-friendly GUI to aid beginners, suffers from slow scan speeds, and lacks features for resolving detected issues.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Both can be deployed on-premises, while Nmap is also suitable for hybrid environments. eG Enterprise provides superior customer service and proactive support. Nmap relies on community-driven support due to its open-source nature.
Pricing and ROI: eG Enterprise is available in perpetual and SaaS licensing models but is costly compared to competitors. Users report ROI through reduced costs. Nmap is free and open-source, favors cost-saving, particularly in non-IT setups, though some commercial features require licenses.

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
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping).
