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 ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"User session details"
"The product is simple to use."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"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."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"Support for plug-ins (RMQ, Redis etc.) is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to execute queries and analyze the data."
"The most valuable features of New Relic are the reports and ease of use."
"It is a software solution as a service, so I don't have to manage it on-premise."
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
 

Cons

"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 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 interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The integration must be improved."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"One of the things that our enterprise actually had a challenge with was the licensing structure for New Relic."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"I would like to have storage monitoring. E.g., being able to monitor SANS, specifically protocols, like NFS and CIFS metrics."
"There are times when you restart the engines and the servers have a unique ID for the host and you need to remove the server. It is difficult because some are on-premise and others are production hosts. Having downtime is not very good when updating. However, it is not a constant issue."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"The deployment process could be improved."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is very cheap."
"It is not expensive."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"Because of budget, we are not using the mobile app part of this tool."
"This is an expensive tool."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
"The price of New Relic APM could be less expensive. We are using the New Relic APM pro account and it is more costly. When compared to competitors the solution's pricing should be much more realistic."
"The pricing is fine."
