Azure Monitor helps you maximize the availability and performance of your applications and services. It is a solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud environments. With Azure Monitor, you can track how your applications are performing and proactively identify issues that affect them and the resources they depend on.
While Azure Application Insights helps detect and diagnose issues across applications, VM insights and Container insight track the underlying cloud infrastructure used. Azure Log Analytics is a tool to run queries against the data collected by Azure Monitor logs. Queries are written in the Kusto Query Language. Visualizations are created in Azure using dashboards and workbooks.
eG Enterprise is a ready-made solution for monitoring any workload on Azure. Its universal monitoring technology handles everything from operating systems to databases, middleware, web servers, messaging, all key Azure services, Kubernetes and containers.
It provides out-of-the-box dashboards, reporting and alerting without the need to invest in Azure only scripting and queries. Retain data cost-efficiently beyond the limits of Azure for compliance and auditing.
Simple to use help desk views and automated root-cause analysis allow you to rapidly set up a service desk, monitor performance and availability proactively and ensure a great end user experience.
IT managers can also support Azure environments and on-premises applications and infrastructure from a central web console. Besides filling the observability gaps of native Azure Monitor, eG Enterprise automates tasks and removes manual configuration and tooling / scripting with out-of-the-box alerting, dashboards and reporting.
Specifically for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) technology, eG Enterprise has comprehensive monitoring, diagnosis and reporting capabilities. Leveraging decades of experience managing some of the largest virtual desktop and end user computing (EUC) deployments, eG Enterprise embeds specialized capabilities that go well beyond what Azure Monitor offers for AVD. Specialized synthetic monitoring capabilities enable AVD service availability and response time to be tracked. A wealth of reports and dashboards that IT admins need to monitor and report on AVD user sessions are available out-of-the-box.

Yes, it does. Azure Monitor is very laborious to set up. The out of the box capabilities are limited. Administrators will not be able to get ready answers to the questions they have about AVD availability, user experience, usage and performance. Hence, the need for out of the box, specialized monitoring tools like eG Enterprise.
The main questions that customers have about AVD services include:

eG Enterprise provides reports targeted at different stakeholders across the organization. There are executive reports for management outlining where the performance bottlenecks lie, and operations reports that provide the detailed insights that IT admins need. Domain-specific reports for AVD provide all the details that administrators need for compliance reporting and infrastructure optimization. Reports on who logged in, at what times, which applications they accessed, resources they used and how their user experience was. Additionally, user active/idle times during a session are also tracked. Users can also define custom reports on all metrics, signals and logs that eG Enterprise collects.
No, the only requirements are that the agents deployed on Microsoft AVD session hosts should be able to communicate using SSL to an eG manager (whether it is in the cloud or on-premises). Users can choose to deploy eG Enterprise themselves on-premises or to a cloud of their choice, or take advantage of eG Enterprise’s managed SaaS option if they prefer to free themselves from the demands of infrastructure and/or management and maintenance.
One of our healthcare clients was able to re-allocate $150,000 that it was spending on digital workspace consultants and firefighting after it started using eG Enterprise. Organizations can boost user satisfaction and productivity by reducing downtime and slow logons. IT support cost can be reduced and operational efficiency can be enhanced because problem diagnosis is streamlined, involves less finger-pointing and is more effective. Empirical insights also help with right-sizing, optimization and capacity planning as well.
