We performed a comparison between Cisco UCS Manager and eG Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I can quickly manage the provisioned servers."
"The hardware is very powerful and it is a stable solution."
"The interface is ergonomic and native. We can use UCS Manager to do all the configurations for the servers, including storage, networking, and all the other components we need inside the fabric. It's simple and flexible."
"Technical support has been good so far. We haven't had any issues with them. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide our company."
"It is more robust than other solutions. So, the stability is good."
"Cisco Infrastructure is one of the top vendors and no one can beat them in terms of switching and routing."
"The flexibility and the ease in which the features can be expanded are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"Ease of management is certainly the most valuable feature in this product."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"User session details"
"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 important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"The integration with other solutions could be better. I think Cisco can only integrate using Intersight. There is a second interface available as a SaaS platform, in the cloud, or on-premise. It's based on the Redfish protocol, which is standard for all the B-series servers in the market. We can integrate other solutions using API."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to their security."
"I want to be able to schedule multiple sequential updates in one go."
"The pricing can be better."
"There is room for improvement in the software part of Cisco UCS Manager. It should be more user-friendly, especially when creating policies."
"The solution's pricing is high and could be reduced."
"Upgrading the firmware is a difficult procedure."
"The interface and the way it is constructed is very complex. They should work to simplify it. It's quite difficult for somebody who doesn't know the product very well. Users should be able to get proficient with it faster. There's definitely room for improvement there."
"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 UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"In terms of sales or market perspective, they must invest in Latin America with professionals with a more marked presence."
"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."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
