eG Innovations, a leading IT performance management software provider, announced today the expansion of its free online eG Enterprise Express SaaS (Software as a Service) solution to help organizations using AVD digital workspaces quickly identify and remediate logon issues that negatively affect the user experience and business productivity.
eG Enterprise Express Logon Simulator for AVD now provides any AVD administrator with a no-risk, powerful "synthetic" monitoring tool to track logon performance. "Slow logon performance has been one of the most challenging user complaints that VDI and digital workspace administrators and support teams have to deal with," said Srinivas Ramanathan, chief executive officer, eG Innovations. "When a user logs on to a virtual desktop, there are many interactions that need to occur between different infrastructure elements. A slow-down or failure anywhere in the infrastructure - the AVD broker, Azure AD, any on-prem Active Directory, FSLogix containers, storage, etc. - can result in slow or failed logons. AVD administrators must be able to detect such situations proactively and resolve them. 24x7 simulation and alerting on virtual desktop and workspaces logon failures provides AVD administrators with exactly what they need to proactively detect and fix such issues, and thereby ensure a great user and employee digital experience".
With this new release, organizations can now use the eG Enterprise Express free logon simulator to monitor desktop and application virtualization infrastructures running on multi-session AVD hosts. eG Enterprise Express allows administrators to continuously simulate the exact same steps that users take to log on to Azure virtual desktops. Administrators can receive real-time alerts, analyze performance over time and generate SLA reports using a web browser. "When you pick up your phone, you expect to have dial tone. In a similar vein, users expect to be able to login and do their work with AVD. This free resource will benefit IT admins and Microsoft partners deploying and supporting AVD." said Ramanathan.
This SaaS solution can be set up in minutes and is being offered free of charge. A simple web signup is the only requirement to get started.
Features:
- Synthetic logon simulation tool for monitoring, diagnosis, alerting and reporting of AVD logon performance. Tracks every step of the AVD logon process (browser access, authentication, enumeration, session establishment, and application launch), and pinpoints which step is causing logon slowdown
- Proactively diagnoses logon issues before users are affected
- Supports logon simulation for both virtualized applications and desktops
- Tests if the entire AVD and Azure delivery infrastructure is working in concert
- Quick SaaS deployment - up and running in minutes
- Web-based monitoring console
- Intuitive dashboards for logon performance monitoring
- Historical reporting allows analyzing performance trends
With this new addition, eG Enterprise Express SaaS now supports three built-in digital workspace simulation options. Customers can choose to use the free logon simulator for AVD, or the previously supported ones for Citrix (on-prem and cloud) and VMware Horizon technologies.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data.

And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
