We have seen considerable returns on investment with Catchpoint, saving both money and employee time while reducing penalties from clients due to fewer outages during network deployments.

I believe we see a good return on investment with Catchpoint because you only need one or two people to monitor, so you do not need a larger team.

Room For Improvement

Catchpoint needs UI upgrades, automation, expanded global monitoring, competitive pricing, enhanced reporting, and improved integration with AI tools.
eG Enterprise needs updates in UI, customization, integration, configuration, pricing, and licensing to improve user experience.
If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Technical Consultant Project Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Catchpoint provides the best solution, but comparatively, if I compare it with Uptrends, New Relic, DataDog, and ThousandEyes, Catchpoint does multiple things, but it comes with a cost.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive.
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure.
Consultant at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Catchpoint's flexible pricing benefits large enterprises, with transparent costs and volume discounts, yet may challenge smaller organizations.
eG Enterprise offers cost-effective pricing with flexible licensing, starting at $100,000 annually for 150 services, including setup.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is good, and the licensing is also good.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
you just need to buy the licenses, and the team sends you the license keys, which is pretty easy.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I think the cost increased because we were so dependent on Catchpoint for monitoring most of our applications.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The pricing is per user per year and varies depending on the components being monitored.
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
 

Valuable Features

Catchpoint offers synthetic and real user monitoring with fast alerts, proactive issue identification, and global network performance insights.
eG Enterprise provides comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics with user-friendly UI, AI automation, and seamless integration, enhancing satisfaction.
Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features.
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
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.

Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Proactive monitoring has reduced downtime and now identifies traffic issues before customers notice
I think Catchpoint can be improved because it is competitively a little costlier. I understand that Catchpoint provides the best solution, but comparatively, if I compare it with Uptrends, New Relic, DataDog, and ThousandEyes, Catchpoint does multiple things, but it comes with a cost. That is one of the areas you can leverage use cases based on customer requirements and come up with a better pricing model. The existing ones are good, but for our use case from Zoom, we were just looking for our endpoints to be monitored every minute, and that cost us a lot compared to the existing tool that we were using. That area is something to look for improvement.

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.
