Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"User session details""The product is simple to use.""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.""Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments.""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.""Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment.""The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."

"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go.""We can quickly search for almost anything across many log sources in seconds.""It is very simple to tweak or write a small piece of glue code to go ahead and create a new dashboard for a business unit to make near real-time decisions to focus more on other geographies when launching the product.""Splunk is a user-friendly solution.""The most valuable features of the solution are it is straightforward to use and the documentation is good for finding out how to get the data you are looking for.""There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed.""The Splunk queries are valuable.""It has a rapid response search environment in the event of an incident."

Cons
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement.""The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms.""would like to see improvements in the alarm display console.""The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards.""In terms of sales or market perspective, they must invest in Latin America with professionals with a more marked presence.""The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly.""Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful.""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."

More eG Enterprise Cons →

"The biggest problem is data compression. Splunk is an outstanding product, but it is a resource hog. There should be better data compression for being able to maintain our data repositories. We end up having to buy lots of additional storage just to house our Splunk data. This is my only complaint about it.""I'd like to see more integration with more antivirus systems.""Its pricing is extremely high. There are other tools out in the market that are competitive. They do not necessarily have all the functionality, but they are competitive. The professional services we have used have been high as well in comparison to the market.""An area of improvement would be the licensing of the solution. They need a free license, which would allow faster lead times.""The use cases provided by Splunk are a good starting point, but could cover many additional topics to ensure that a smaller or less experienced shop might maximize the value of an ES deployment.""The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system.""We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better.""We were inundated with the amount of alerts and alarms that we could get out of it. It is also a resource hog and we didn't have the resources to support it on-prem so we're taking it offline now."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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"
  • "It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
  • "They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
  • "It is not expensive."
  • "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."
  • "We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
  • "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."
