Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has made it easier for us to trace the problems that we have with our requests and to monitor the timing of each step in each request we do in our endpoints.""AWS X-Ray is a strong solution and has a smooth integration process.""It is a very scalable solution.""The most promising feature of AWS X-Ray is that you can debug the issues through the proper logs. You can also get an analysis out of the logs for some use cases, though I have yet to try all the features of AWS X-Ray.""AWS X-RAY identifies bottlenecks in terms of stability and performance and how long certain data lives in terms of response time and duration.""The most important one is compliance. We're able to achieve our regulatory levels. We're able to achieve the security level that we need for the federal government."

"Enormous capability to monitor Citrix environments.""Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails.""The algorithm is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""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 topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance.""The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there.""Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."

Cons
"Like most Amazon products, the user interface, configuration, and tuning aren't the easiest. That's the biggest reason why people tend to go to products like TerraForm and Terragrunt. We use TerraForm and Terragrunt. So, for setting things up and interacting with X-Ray, it's definitely the user interface that can be better.""The user interface is sometimes kind of confusing to understand. It's not very user-friendly.""They can improve how traces are sent to other providers.""What needs to be better in AWS X-Ray is the log filtering. Predefined filters could be helpful because the power of analytics comes from how you can filter the data. I also want to see more KPIs from AWS X-Ray.""I do not have any notes in terms of improvements.""If you have a small team, it's probably overkill."

More AWS X-Ray Cons →

"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.""Back-end configuration is not easy to implement.""The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh.""Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities.""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.""In terms of sales or market perspective, they must invest in Latin America with professionals with a more marked presence.""Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing for AWS X-Ray is a six out of ten."
  • "As you develop a relationship with Amazon, your pricing gets lower. You get credits for the amount of the system you use, and then if you're the government, you can get government pricing. For commercial users, there's a hump when you go from small to medium to big enterprise. Small businesses can live pretty easily off the free tier in a lot of cases, but when you go from a medium to a big enterprise, it becomes more expensive on a per-user basis. I'd like to see that curve going in a different way where pricing can be driven down while people are trying to adopt the technology."
  • "The solution is a bit expensive."
  • More AWS X-Ray 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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    “The product makes data collection easy. It's simple to set up. The algorithm is the most valuable aspect of the solution. In a few minutes after the installations, we can get insights from my technical environment. After a few minutes, I can get some valuable insights to make decisions.” - Anderson L., LatAm Presales Analyst at CLM

    “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.” - A PeerSpot user who is a Consultant at a tech services company
