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.

Helpful support agents, beneficial issue detection, and high availability
The creation of charts and real-time windows was somewhat cumbersome. The vendor's website had an application called App Agent that required improvement. This API was designed to track message rates between microservers ingested into a microservice memory map. It allowed users to monitor the number of transactions that occurred at specific points within the application, and it was quite impressive. However, it had some limitations, and it mainly served as a tool for basic tracking. The protocols it employed could reveal the type of server-to-server communication and the specific order types, but it was not able to provide a more in-depth analysis of the application. The vendor has the potential to integrate application metrics more extensively into their product suite. The product suite could benefit from more out-of-the-box predictive analytics capabilities, such as projecting market or symbol movements. However, it is unclear whether the vendor currently provides this functionality. Users may need to adjust their software to perform such analysis independently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"Customer service and support are superb."
"The support we get from eG Innovations is truly outstanding."
"Broadly speaking, this solution has reduced incident diagnosis times because it is a tool that we don't have elsewhere."
"We use the data to analyze how much time we spend within the applications. Then, based on that, we are doing multiple analyses and types of investigations to work on reducing the amount of time spent on the latency, which helps our applications."
"As part of my role in monitoring multiple client connections, I would use Pico Corvil Analytics to set up alerts for performance issues, such as TCP resends and dropped packets. These alerts would trigger when the volume was low and performance was poor, allowing me to work with our trading partners to find a resolution. I would present them with the statistics I had and together, we would identify the source of the issue. This collaboration resulted in the client often reconfiguring their systems. For example, we may find that a network connection needed to be made. Overall, this proactive approach helped to maintain strong connections with our clients and minimize disruptions to trading revenue."
"What is most valuable is the ability to troubleshoot when a client complains of spikes in latencies. It gives us the ability to go granular, all the way down to looking at the network packets and analyze them."
"The performance metrics are pretty good. We've got everything from the network layer to the actual application layer. We can see what's going on with things like sending time and batching."
"We like the dashboards because they essentially organize all the sessions into one viewpoint."
"Corvil definitely delivers a performance advantage for our firm over our competition because we are able to address all issues on a near real-time basis."
"It is a market leader in latency detection and monitoring with extremely precise time stamping even over a wide area."
 

Cons

"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"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."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The integration must be improved."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"With the architecture that Corvil is built on, it's cumbersome."
"The creation of charts and real-time windows was somewhat cumbersome. The vendor's website had an application called App Agent that required improvement.

The protocols it employed could reveal the type of server-to-server communication and the specific order types, but it was not able to provide a more in-depth analysis of the application. The vendor has the potential to integrate application metrics more extensively into their product suite."
"In terms of performance analysis, if you really want to dig down into the minutiae and get statistics on the important things... that would be the only piece lacking because, in our environment, we have thousands and thousands of symbols. With the architecture that Corvil is built on, it's cumbersome."
"Overall, the Corvil device needs a little bit of training for people to handle it. If that could be reduced and made more user-friendly, more intuitive, it would be better."
"The analytics feature is very nice, but it's mostly software. We are hoping that it could be embedded in ASICs, so it could be faster."
"Corvil is pretty stable. We just have too much data going into the boxes. Because of that, it requires more maintenance than average."
"While the product is scalable, it's not easy to scale. It needs investment hardware and network bandwidth consideration. It's not something you can just do overnight."
"It is perceived as an expensive option, even in the financial services sector."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"Corvil has reduced the time it takes us to isolate root causes."
"I like the way they've decoupled the hardware now... Everything's based on the licensing side now. The way they do the packs is fair. It's very flexible in that we're not charged per decoder, we're charged for a certain pack. Whether we use one decoder or 20 decoders, as long as they're in the same pack, there's no extra charge. Expensive but fair is how I'd summarize it."
"Pico Corvil Analytics is expensive. There are several competitors in the market. Selling this solution to a trading firm might be challenging as there are several other solutions available that can perform basic similar operations, such as using Wireshark and Python scripts to obtain the required values. However, that does not nearly approach the comprehensive end-2-end automated depth of metrics and their correlations that Pico Corvil Analytics provides."
"It is pricey versus its competitors."
"We bought a box from Corvil and it was $200,000 for one big CNE. Then there are obviously the recurring maintenance fees. The licensing is perpetual but the maintenance fees are not."
"As I am working more with Corvil, it looks like it is improving diagnostic times."
"The pricing is very expensive. Corvil could work on the pricing."
