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.
MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Free to use and provides valuable monitoring capabilities
Prometheus is a scalable and flexible tool that I can deploy on any cloud platform. It is free to use and provides valuable monitoring capabilities. It allows me to save money by avoiding costs associated with AWS native services like CloudWatch or Amazon Prometheus. The ability to deploy on any cloud platform or environment, including Kubernetes, is a major advantage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"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."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The best thing about Prometheus is its integration."
"It is highly valuable as it serves as the foundation for our infrastructure monitoring tools."
"Prometheus provides a flexible and adjustable querying and describing time, allowing for more responsive monitoring."
"The product is easy to maintain."
"Prometheus gives us high availability automatically."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product’s scalability is valuable."
"Prometheus is a scalable and flexible tool that I can deploy on any cloud platform."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Prometheus can be initially difficult for users since it has its query language, PromQL. The minimalistic interface is complicated to understand. They need to improve their interface so that users who don't know PromQL can also use it. You can only leverage the tool when you know PromQL."
"Prometheus requires improvement on the query side."
"The simplicity of the query language could be improved. The current query language is not easy to work with."
"One potential area for improvement would be fixing the occasional glitches and bugs."
"The setup could be made easier for new users because it requires a bit of advance knowledge or experience."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"The setup process could be more straightforward."
"The DSL could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is not expensive."
"The product is very cheap."
"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 use the solution's open-source version."
"The product is free."
"Prometheus is an open-source solution."
"The solution is free of cost."
"Prometheus is an open-source tool."
"Prometheus is available as an open-source product."

"The solution is not expensive."
