Jose Ramon Crespo - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
B Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables seamless global client monitoring with reliable remote connectivity
I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients. Many tools that I require for system maintenance are included. I can easily monitor all of my clients throughout the world I did not give much thought to it, however, improvements could be made to Zabbix.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"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 product is simple to use."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"The resource usage, CPU utilization, disk usage, network monitoring, network performance, and alerting features are invaluable."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
 

Cons

"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"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."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The integration must be improved."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"It could be more stable."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very cheap."
"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."
"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."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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 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."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"This solution is open-source and free to use."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."
"It is reasonable."
"The product is an open source and free solution."
"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."
