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 are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
