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 services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.

Pros

"Customer service is fantastic!! They are very responsive and always follow up to ensure a solution has been provided."
"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."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"We haven't really had an issue per se, but there was a time when we had some network devices that were down, and eG showed us pretty quickly that that part of the network was down."
"User session details"
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
"The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."
 

Cons

"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"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."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure."
"It may need a more customizable UI."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"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 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."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
"Micro Focus' price is on the higher side, but there are other products like CA products and IBM that are more expensive. At the same time, you have to compare the maturity level of the solutions."
