End-to-end monitoring has improved user experience and now supports comprehensive observability
The most valuable features of eG Enterprise depend on the application, so that's pretty vast, but they definitely include end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring. User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.

Centralized monitoring has reduced outages and enables faster diagnosis across all database servers
The best features Redgate Monitor offers include detailed resource monitoring, instant alerts, and easy customization. A user can quickly see how your server is performing and which queries are taking the longest. The instant alerts and customizable options help since it is a multiple-platform database observability for the entire estate. I use this to optimize performance, ensure security, and mitigate potential risks with fast, deep-dive analysis and intelligent alerting. I love Redgate Monitor because it helps manage an entire database estate from a single pane of glass. Redgate Monitor has positively impacted my organization by creating database observability to proactively mitigate potential risks with instant problem diagnosis and customizable alerting. It accelerates daily database maintenance by automating time-consuming manual tasks, such as identifying long-running queries or tracking blocked processes, which frees up time to proactively improve the performance and security of servers. I have seen time savings from twenty percent to forty-five percent. It also helps to minimize downtime.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Customer service is fantastic!! They are very responsive and always follow up to ensure a solution has been provided."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"I think eG Innovations has created a nifty tool to make our lives a lot easier, now we just have to implement end to end monitoring to be able to use this tool."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"Redgate Monitor has impacted our organization positively by helping us simplify day-to-day tasks and realize a feeling of security."
"Redgate Monitor has positively impacted my organization by creating database observability to proactively mitigate potential risks with instant problem diagnosis and customizable alerting."
 

Cons

"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"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 interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"It is a bit expensive for MSPs to use for their day-to-day monitoring."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I must say I don't favor the subscription model, and the price is somewhat higher."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
