Featured Reviews

Haseeb Sheikh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager Enterprise Solutions at a media company with 201-500 employees
Proactive monitoring has improved availability and capacity reporting for my infrastructure
The current features including availability, performance, and capacity are good enough, and I think more of better alerting along with improved thresholds of alerts should be implemented. It is helpful, but it should also include the capability to detect zero-day attacks if there are any. I think the remediation could have been better. For example, if I am upgrading my firmware or BIOS or firmware of the infrastructure, it should give me exact CVSS scores and remediation data provided against the CVSS scores. I think the Dell CloudIQ app could be more interactive. If there is a possibility that I can open tickets or SRs via the Dell CloudIQ app, that would be a good feature.

Consultant at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees
End-to-end monitoring has improved user experience and now supports comprehensive observability
The most valuable features of eG Enterprise depend on the application, so that's pretty vast, but they definitely include end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring. User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The mobile application is the most valuable feature for us; we can monitor all the storages on our phones, and it's really good."
"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"Our company uses the solution for forecasting capacity and performance via cloud visualization that is maintained by Dell."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."
"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."
"We chose this solution because it is a free product offered from Dell which you can use to monitor, manage and optimize cybersecurity."
"We haven't really had an issue per se, but there was a time when we had some network devices that were down, and eG showed us pretty quickly that that part of the network was down."
"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"I hope this quick overview of version 6.1 of eG innovation Enterprise gives a nice insight in what they offer today, visit them at https://eginnovations.com ( https://eginnovations.com/ ) to find out more."
"I would rate their technical support for eG Enterprise probably as the best I've ever dealt with."
"After trying many products with little satisfaction, we can finally say that we have found the best product on the market to monitor Citrix environments."
"We use it to monitor all of our Windows platforms and servers."
"Customer service is fantastic!! They are very responsive and always follow up to ensure a solution has been provided."
"It delivers a huge amount of value and most people don't understand that."
 

Cons

"I think the remediation could have been better."
"CloudIQ doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"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 UI looks a little dated and could do with a refresh."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"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."
"Their dashboards could use some improvement. The ability to customize them a bit more."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."
"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."
"The product is very cheap."
"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
