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.

High performance, quick setup, but lacking ease of use
Some of the functions could improve by making them easier. There is room for improvement when it comes to the graphs provided by the software. Additionally, there seems to be an issue with the ping status, as it sometimes indicates that a website is down even when it is functioning properly. It appears that there are certain aspects related to cache management or other backend functionalities that are unclear. The time range graph and overall user interface could be more user-friendly. For example, when selecting a custom graph for a specific time period, clicking on it should open the corresponding website in a new tab, but instead, it displays the current graph. This lack of consistency can be frustrating when trying to navigate the interface. Furthermore, the reports shared on a weekly basis arrive one week late, reducing their usefulness. Overall, some extra efforts are required to make the user experience smoother and more efficient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The product is simple to use."
"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."
"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 most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"Overall, this is a very good product and one that I recommend."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"One valuable feature is real user monitoring."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"My advice to anybody who is considering Pingdom is that this is a good product at an affordable price."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"The product is very cheap."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"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."
"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."
"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'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"It is not expensive."
"This price of this solution is reasonable."
"The license was paid yearly and included technical support."
"While I wouldn't describe it as excessively expensive, if you require specific and reliable monitoring, SolarWinds can be a suitable option. The advantage is that SolarWinds offers a free version as well. If you don't heavily rely on its monitoring capabilities and are content with its basic features, the free version could suffice for your needs."
