    ControlUp
    An environment where visibility of general performance metrics isn't currently done or is done with a system that is difficult to use (which was our case). An environment where resource allocation decisions need to be made (e.g. how much RAM and CPU to allocate to VM pools). An environment where a troubleshooting tool is needed (e.g. to answer the question, "Why is this person experiencing poor performance right now?")

    VMWare Dynamic environment manager is best suited in a situation where you have a dedicated admin to configure all the complex settings/scenario's for the user experience. Where you have a limited ammount of user profiles and the tooling is less favorable when you want your users to have alot of personal influence on the settings

    Pros
    ControlUp
    • The triggers are very flexible and can be configured to alert on things from events in sessions to hardware failures. Script actions are what they sound like. They are scripts that can be created and run on demand or tied to a trigger. One example is that if a hard drive is low on space we have a script to clean up certain things on the drive.
    • Script actions are supported by the ControlUp community. Community members can submit scripts that are reviewed by ControlUp and approved. This means more script are added over time.
    • ControlUp support and sales support has been great. Our sales engineer is always willing to jump on and help us with configuration issues and standard support is quick to respond and are good at resolving issues.

    Cons
    ControlUp
    • It seems that there is a gradual transition occurring from one interface (a local program) to another (Web). This creates confusion at times.
    • ScoutBees module has a problem with our version of Horizon, so we can't do a login test
    • The local program for ControlUp uses a lot of resources
    • The training session focus on very large environments, which we aren't. Might be good to offer SMB sessions separately.

    • Takes a bit of time to get the hang of.
    • If you are setting it up yourself, there will probably be a few calls to support to get the kinks of your environment worked out
    • Works well with standard applications, but is a bit cumbersome in setting up in-house built applications.

    It is a great product and does the job well. We have been using it for 7 years now, and I can not think of a single time where it broke or had issues... it just WORKS.

    I feel all these products are good and have their strengths but for me it came down to two categories. How easy is it to find issues and cost. It seemed to me that the easiest to use is ControlUp and eG. Price broke down to ControlUp and SysTrack being lower than Goliath and eG.

    For the most part, VMware User Environment Manager is a solid virtual remedy for the remote employee. Ease of access, up-time, the ability to access programs quickly within the environment, security features such as timeouts, and other items, all prevent the logistical nightmare we see with other programs. Issues do arise, as with any other program, but the problems that do occur are normally very quickly resolved. This is really not a bad program as long as employers do their due diligence in ensuring the program stays up to date.
