Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
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 services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Abdalraheem Asha - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior cloud engineering lead and IT project owner at KDD
Has improved collaboration with providers and pinpointed issues across regional networks
ThousandEyes has been the most user-friendly tool I have seen in the past couple of years, making life easier in troubleshooting and helping us find what's happening while offering vivid options on how to use the agents or the server-side tools with multiple options to trace out the issues. The best features ThousandEyes offers include the ability to place two different points or nodes, such as a server or a node in the cloud in my account, then installing agents and tracing the connectivity which helps me build a perfect user experience to check what's happening while users access my resources. I love the dashboards in ThousandEyes and the way I see the results after placing or doing the tests; this is perfect, and I would say this is the best thing. ThousandEyes has positively impacted my organization by raising the customer experience and positive feedback by over 70% due to the complex situation with local service providers, allowing me to resolve user feedback and issues which enhanced the user experience significantly. I measure the 70% improvement in customer experience through customer tickets and feedback after resolving issues, where previously, users faced problems and limited time on the platform, and after using ThousandEyes, the user time reached up to five to six hours a day, even for teams possibly totaling 30 hours a day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"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 data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"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."
"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"ThousandEyes has positively impacted my organization by raising the customer experience and positive feedback by over 70% due to the complex situation with local service providers, allowing me to resolve user feedback and issues which enhanced the user experience significantly."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its scalability. It is a good tool for network admins."
"The company provides excellent service."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the path analyzer, which identifies the node causing the errors."
 

Cons

"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"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 interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The integration must be improved."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"I feel it needs more holistic integration. It needs more improvement."
"ThousandEyes should expand its application monitoring to monitor some communication applications."
"We can show the traffic path in some cases, but it's almost impossible to do so in cloud networks like CDN, Akamai, or Microsoft."
"Regarding the user interface, I appreciate dropdowns, but I prefer a guided experience where the interface explains itself instead of requiring extensive searching to reach a point."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"More detailed documentation explaining the metrics and the testing mechanisms would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
"It is a quite expensive solution."
"In our company, we incur a yearly expense in our company for the licensing part. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten since it is expensive."
"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."
"The solution is cheap."
