GermainUX Enterprise – Cloud GermainUX Cloud provides a fully managed deployment of GermainUX Enterprise without requiring your organization to install or operate the central GermainUX platform. Germain Software provisions and manages a dedicated GermainUX Enterprise environment. You deploy only the monitoring components required for your applications, users, infrastructure, and technologies.

Overview

GermainUX Enterprise provides the central platform for:
  • Monitoring configuration
  • Data collection and processing
  • Analytics and root-cause analysis
  • AI-assisted analysis
  • Dashboards and reports
  • Alerts and SLA management
  • Session Replay
  • Automation
  • User and access management
  • Security, privacy, and retention configuration

When to Use GermainUX Cloud

Choose GermainUX Cloud when you want:
  • Fast deployment
  • Minimal central infrastructure to manage
  • A dedicated GermainUX environment
  • Centralized monitoring across cloud and on-premise systems
  • Monitoring components deployed close to protected systems

Network Requirements

Components deployed within your environment typically require:
  • Outbound HTTPS connectivity
  • TCP port 443
  • Access to your assigned GermainUX Cloud URL
  • Proxy configuration when required
  • Applicable firewall or allowlist rules
Inbound access from GermainUX Cloud to your internal network is generally not required when locally deployed components initiate the connection. Additional connectivity depends on the applications and technologies being monitored.
