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.
Micah Richards - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

"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."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower."
"One thing that I don't like about eG is like the interface. It's not really that user-friendly to make a change, or to navigate through."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I must say I don't favor the subscription model, and the price is somewhat higher."
"It is a bit expensive for MSPs to use for their day-to-day monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very cheap."
"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."
"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."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
