We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Nexthink based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is a stable one."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"It is easy to set up."
"Good text reading ability."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"I like everything about this product."
"The solution is stable."
"With this solution we are able to link issues to automatic actions that will solve the problem."
"Performance-wise, Nexthink is very good, and with each version, it is improved."
"The auto building capability has been most valuable. It keeps on checking the system in terms of various factors like battery, memory usage and application usage."
"Nexthink's best features are Engage and Act, which we use in combination for self-healing use cases."
"I would rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten."
"Nexthink allows our customers to have visibility into their whole environment and security. And it lets you install the agent as a package for selected users instead of every user. This helps cut down on the delay involved in a bulk installation."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"Nexthink could have better integration with ITSM tools - at the moment, they only integrate with ServiceNow, so adding other tools, like HP SMAX, would be very useful."
"In our company, we can't deploy anything from Nexthink the way we can deploy from any other endpoint solutions. It is not possible to create any dashboard in Nexthink...One should be able to schedule monitoring in Nexthink."
"It lacks a library for standard EXEs to be named automatically."
"The tool should improve its pricing and performance. It also have nothing related to patch management."
"I would like it if they could put in some patch deployments and compliances."
"It would be good to have a more controlled way to access their cloud environment."
"They were having some limitations on the number of alerts that you can generate. This definitely needs to be increased."
"It lacks support for IoT and most network equipment."
