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.

User-level monitoring with near-real-time analytics boosts service availability

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is simple to use."
"Absolutely choose it. It is a great company. They are always available."
"Customer service and support are superb."
"I hope this quick overview of version 6.1 of eG innovation Enterprise gives a nice insight in what they offer today, visit them at https://eginnovations.com ( https://eginnovations.com/ ) to find out more."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use, it's a simple product, and you can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"With the solution, you can easily access any issues in your infrastructure."
"The reporting feature is good for us."
"We use RUM and BSM and so far it has been really good at getting real user transactions from a real user monitor and then tying it to a BSM single view dashboard, where we get the whole realistic picture."
"Very easy to implement."
"Real User Monitoring tools help proactively identify problems before they become critical by monitoring thresholds. There is a threshold and an SOA threshold."
"Real User Monitor does its job, and that is why we have stayed with it for so many years."
"We found this to be a stable product."
"It is a good product."
 

Cons

"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."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"I would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The integration must be improved."
"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."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Most of the dashboards require a lot of configuration. We are not happy with the dashboard."
"We would like to see support for non-Windows environments."
"Real User Monitor needs to cover more protocols to provide more in-depth information. It could also be better at monitoring voice-related traffic. There is currently no visibility in that channel."
"Everybody is moving away from traffic and installing agents on the application to do the job, but Micro Focus is using traditional ways to collect the traffic. They should change their architecture completely."
"Recently we have been facing some stability issues."
"When we want to monitor our encrypted traffic, this product doesn't work because our cipher is not supported."
"If it is a standalone solution, however, I would not recommend Micro Focus."
"One area to improve is the user interface, of course. The second one is their R&D has virtually stopped building a product roadmap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"It is not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"The product is very cheap."
"The price is approximately €30,000 ($35,500 USD) for the enterprise edition."
"Not expensive."
"Compared to other tools, OpenText Real User Monitoring is an expensive solution."
"If I compare with other vendors, other vendors are more expensive"
