"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Its ability to monitor failures and to restart a Windows service when it fails."
"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."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"eG Enterprise has a single pane of glass for observability and monitoring."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"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."
"User session details"
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The most important feature is reporting. The reports that are generated are useful and they save a lot of time with respect to monitoring."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the alerts."
"It's easy to understand, even if you are not too technical."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"The integration must be improved."
"The UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
"The scalability can be better."
"In terms of scalability, there is room for improvement. When you start monitoring, if you have so many interfaces and you're trying to monitor them at a faster interval, or a shorter interval, you get to a point where you need to request another node."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
