Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
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 ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Application performance management and error resolution improved with data-driven insights
Dynatrace has multiple functions compared to Splunk AppDynamics, so Splunk AppDynamics should add those functions, which are not available as of now. Dynatrace has a universal agent that collects all information related to their CI, and if one CI has multiple languages, then there is no need to instrument multiple agents. However, Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application. Splunk AppDynamics should work with Dynatrace with one single universal agent that works with all application languages, eliminating the need for multiple implementations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The product is simple to use."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"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."
"We were able to correct problems, which led to an increase in availability, time savings, and performance for our solutions."
"You have a live view of what happens when something goes wrong on the production or support side. You don't have to scramble and do guesswork. We can identify the query that creates the bottleneck or slows the performance of the database system. It can give you points on how to debug and fix the system."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"This solution is easy to use and very powerful, it is a complete tool for us."
"Visibility to the end-users is a valuable feature."
"It provides a lot of data, so it helps businesses identify their user base."
"The best feature of AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is that it lets you find errors in synthetic jobs ahead of the users. The solution shows you all front-end metrics. You can also see JavaScript errors and jQuery errors through AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring. You can also do a correlation between the front end and the backend, or from the user to the navigator, to the backend through the solution."
"After we implemented this solution, we can easily determine the root cause of issues."
 

Cons

"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."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The integration must be improved."
"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."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"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."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The solution needs to support IBM products."
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."
"Splunk AppDynamics provides an end-to-end view of the application but misses the infrastructure part, which is crucial."
"Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application."
"AppDynamics Database Monitoring could improve the price of the solution, it is costly."
"The infrastructure is not as good as other solutions."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"The solution's pricing could be improved and made more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"It is not expensive."
"We do not have any issues with the price."
"AppDynamics is an expensive solution."
"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later.​"
"There is a license needed to use the solution and it is expensive. The licensing model needs to improve."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"You are required to purchase licenses whether you use it or not. It is not pay-as-you-use."
"I would like more flexible pricing: A pay-per-use model, rather than just a fixed-price model."
"The tool is expensive."
