Great visibility, easy to set up, and has very responsive technical support
The visibility and the ability to monitor user behavior are very useful to us. So is the fact that we have diagnostic capabilities. We divided the usage of these two parts - one for our business team and one for our support team where they can see the availability, performance, and application or service updates from a customer perspective. We appreciate that the team can understand the issue from our application, database, code, data integration, et cetera. We like that two different teams can use it and it fits each of their individual needs. 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 initial setup is pretty simple. The solution can scale. Technical support has been great.

Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"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."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"The product is simple to use."
"User session details"
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
 

Cons

"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."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"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."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very cheap."
"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."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"If using eG for virtual desktops, carefully calculate whether per named user, per concurrent user, or per server"
"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."
"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 price seems reasonable."
