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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is simple to use."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"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."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"User session details"
"The installation is easy."
"The solution offers so many great resources, it makes them a powerhouse in the market."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"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."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The price could be a bit lower."
"We did not like SolarWinds because it was not able to communicate between UPSA and our accounting system. They should have better integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"The price of SolarWinds Network Automation Manager is fair. However, it is more expensive than ConnectWise."
