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 services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Ahmed Naguib - PeerSpot reviewer

The intelligent alerting in Splunk ITSI (IT Service Intelligence) is very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The product is simple to use."
"User session details"
"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."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"Having a structure on how to resolve incidents is the most valuable aspect."
"The observability is great and valuable."
"The most valuable features of Splunk ITSI are event analytics and service insight."
"I find the episode review, glass tables, and correlation search features very useful."
"Splunk Episodes are valuable because it correlates and aggregates all the information, and you do not have one million events to look at and triage, so it is quite convenient."
"The root cause analysis is very helpful for us."
"We can automate routine tasks. We're able to create alerts, reports, scheduled searches, et cetera. It's helping us to save time."
"The glass tables are very helpful."
 

Cons

"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."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"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."
"One thing ITSI could improve on is the maintenance windows. I have a huge case where I had to implement something related to the maintenance window. If you try to look up the issues in ITSI, you have to check the incidents individually, and putting hundreds of hosts in maintenance can be a hindrance."
"The license cost is expensive."
"The data recovery has room for improvement."
"Splunk ITSI could benefit from including more features that other solutions support, such as vulnerability management modules."
"The problem becomes the price, as Splunk is an expensive product."
"There should be entity conflict resolution, specifically regarding duplicate entities. There should be case sensitivity for various keys amongst entities, specifically host names. We need IT metrics-based indexes and more content packs. I know they are coming out with these features"
"The cost of the license could be lower."
"The user interface visualization could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"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."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"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."
"Splunk pricing is high."
"Splunk ITSI is expensive; however, with the appropriate use case, it justifies the cost."
"Splunk is pretty expensive, but it gives you a decent insight into the data. It is easy to learn, and ITSI has a great interface. You can run those queries and pass the data. I"
"Splunk ITSI is a premium application and comes with a premium price tag."
"It is interesting. I am not involved that much lately, but if I recall correctly, you license primarily on the volume of data that you are using in Splunk ITSI, but there is no way Splunk can ever check if that is true, so that is interesting. We are not doing it, but someone can pretend to just use 10%, and it would be super cheap. It is tricky, but it is more tricky for Splunk than for us."
"Splunk ITSI is expensive."
"Splunk ITSI is expensive."
"Splunk ITSI is an expensive tool, and we need to purchase the utility license."
