We performed a comparison between eG Enterprise and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The ability to see what the end user response is, so I can get a better understanding of what the end user is seeing when they connect to the Citrix servers."
"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."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"The algorithm is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"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."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
