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.

Managing application health has become simpler but new monitoring features still need faster delivery
I use application discovery and dependency mapping. It helps with managing application health What I like about ManageEngine Applications Manager is the ease of use and ease of deployment. I cannot remember anything specific for future updates of the product. The new features take a lot of time…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"We were able to stabilize our backend and middle systems."
"The product is simple to use."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"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."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The initial setup was straightforward, without complexity."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager maintains the historical data and it's easy for us to analyze the trends and patterns and fix them accordingly."
"Its price and the flexibility to deploy are the most valuable. Flexibility is very important, and you can scale from very basic to more complex. This solution is a part of a complete suite of management tools. So, it can be integrated with other solutions for monitoring networks, which is very important. You can expand it or interconnect it with many other tools, which is a powerful feature. We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys. They provide very good support for us."
"We have a very good and long relationship with ManageEngine support guys, and they provide very good support for us."
"Price is the big issue here in Pakistan and they offer a very good price."
"I used it extensively for a year, and prior to that, I was very comfortable."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature which is simple."
"Depending on the size of the environment, this is a solution that I recommend."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The integration must be improved."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure."
"I would not buy this product again knowing what I know now. It takes too much time and it is still not where it used to be."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"More modem support for SMS feature."
"The agent often crashes when there is too much load on the application side. If a sudden storm of data comes in, the agent crashes down most of the time."
"It can’t be configured to store APM Insight data for more than one month."
"Lacks an SIEM solution which can be found in other products."
"The problem is that implementation requires a significant amount of mapping effort."
"The integration process with third party tools poses some challenges; enhancing the robustness of these integrations could greatly improve overall functionality and user experience."
"An area for improvement in ManageEngine Applications Manager is artificial intelligence. If AI is integrated into the solution, it'll be a piece of cake. Currently, it's all configured manually."
"They can improve the post-processing of the data. AppDynamics has more powerful tools for post-processing or analytics. It has some limitations in more complex environments, but because we are free to use different solutions, we try to find what is best for the customers or the problem we are trying to solve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very cheap."
"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."
"The licensing costs for ManageEngine Applications Manager are around $1,200 per year. For additional monitors, you have to pay extra."
"Price-wise, it is a cheap tool...The solution's licensing model is subscription-based, in which yearly payments are to be made."
"The solution is noted for its cost-effectiveness, a crucial consideration for potential users."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"ManageEngine Applications Manager has reasonable pricing. It's more affordable than other solutions in the market. My company has an instance-based license for ManageEngine Applications Manager. You can purchase a yearly subscription or a perpetual license. The standard license covers most features, but you can still have some paid add-ons."
"The annual licensing depends on the number of monitors you have connected. Once you get to two hundred monitors you can see the price reflect."
"Its price is good."
"The cost of this solution is not too bad, although it could be cheaper considering what you're getting for the price."
