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.

With the help of the solution, we can predict and prevent failures
Currently, the most valuable thing for an individual is a mobile device. Since that is where people are currently tracking everything, we have multiple applications or apps that are for various products. I would like ITRS Geneos to develop an app, where instead of going to specific login terminals or logging into laptops or desktops to check alerts, we can have visibility in the app itself. Using the ITRS Geneos app, we could see the error message during our travels or wherever we are. I would like to see the capacity of messages for forecasting increased. Since the NSE is the number one derivative stock exchange in the work for three consecutive years, the number of messages is important. We use the capacity planner in ITRS to forecast our data needs for the next two months. The planner is important because the volume of data we produce is becoming more and more volatile compared to when we first started using ITRS Geneos in 2014.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"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."
"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"We were able to stabilize our backend and middle systems."
"We, for example, cut the costs by using the tool, and we also reduced the number of calls, which was one of the main value-adds for our operations department, as we were able to cut service requests by 75%."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"The NetProbe carries over 100 samplers which are capable of monitoring hardware, OS, and the application layer."
"It's definitely the best solution that I've used, as far as real-time monitoring goes."
"The great advantage of this tool is real-time monitoring."
"ITRS is significantly better than PRTG and saves us a lot of time in development."
"It is better than any monitoring product I've ever used in terms of providing real-time metric data."
"Geneos automatically sends email notifications when any batch job fails, the database is down or the website is down; it is automatically monitoring everything and reduces manual effort."
"Complete end-to-end monitoring of apps and infrastructure with key performance metrics to identify and reduce transaction latencies."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Very good."
 

Cons

"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."
"I would rate technical support 7/10. It's self-explaining and the support is limited."
"There is a part of the rules for monitoring alerts. I want to understand more about how to choose the samples and the requirements for the rules. That is the part that I want to understand better and get better training for."
"Sometimes, if there is a lot of data coming onto the servers, we have observed a little bit of slowness on the gateway servers which are doing the ITRS dashboard monitoring."
"Technically, I believe the dashboard functionality can be more configurable as some shapes are very limited with what they can do."
"ITRS Geneos cloud monitoring is very weak and can use improvement."
"The interface can sometimes be a little complicated."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the log file. I would like to be able to do a pre-run on the log files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"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 product is very cheap."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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 are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"Its price is reasonable. It isn't too expensive, and it isn't too cheap, but it also depends on a company's volume and negotiation."
"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."
"Given our spend and the amount of service we have in it, the pricing is quite reasonable."
"The pricing is fairly market-related. They have been very lenient because we have been working with them for so long. An example is that we're currently migrating some of our services to AWS, and they've given us a grace period for some of the things to help with the migration and not to grow additional costs while we are migrating, but it's still on par with the market."
"The product is priced quite high. There are pricing options for customers based on the size of the environment and plug-ins used by the monitoring system."
"When I first came in, their pricing was very high. ITRS had a high expectation of what their price should be based on perceived value. I think they have been realizing, more recently, that there are other competitors, so their pricing is a lot better. Licensing for on-premise is okay, however I feel there is quite some work to be done for cloud and containers. We're still working with them to try and work out what that pricing should look like."
"The licensing cost may seem expensive upfront. However, the service is outstanding, the tool does things that no other tools can do, and the customizability more than makes up for the cost of licensing."
"The market tools are on par with this solution, but if the solution included more features, then it would be well within the range for the cost."
