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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The various scaling options available, such as step scaling, are particularly useful."
"Our internal business applications are hosted in AWS Auto Scaling."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it scales automatically without manual intervention based on the metrics we provide."
"AWS Auto Scaling is very good for managing traffic and creating new instances when necessary."
"It efficiently handles traffic, ensuring we are not running expenses and the infrastructure is strong enough to handle the load."
"The solution's monitoring effectively monitors our application and CPU utilization."
"The health check integration feature ensures that the instances are healthy and capable of absorbing traffic, thus serving their purpose effectively."
"The tool's most valuable feature is vertical auto-scaling, which is easy to use. However, most companies now prefer horizontal scaling. I set up the health check integration to monitor CPU usage. When it reaches seventy percent, it sends me an email notification."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"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."
"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."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
 

Cons

"The speed of the solution must be improved."
"The product could add more features for managing instances."
"Setting up the configuration involves too much work for the cloud engineer, like configuring the ALB, the target group, and all the steps."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"There hasn't been a need for improvements."
"It could be cheaper."
"The tool must include AI features."
"In comparison to other public clouds, the product is costly."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"The integration must be improved."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
