We performed a comparison between Cisco Data Center Network Manager and Entuity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I like running the scripts. With the help of a Python script, we deployed within the configuration and built up the code."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the consolidated dashboard, providing insights into parameters and overall usage of network features. It allows us to easily summarize insights through the dashboards. The solution offers automation capabilities, particularly in the context of connecting LAN sites with websites."
"I don't have to rely on the on-site engineer who can do the configuration. I can have our team just plug the devices and perform remotely. I can also do the templates."
"I like that is easy to work on and straightforward."
"You can integrate all the networks into the software."
"The product makes the management of our environment simpler."
"We use the product to manage access points."
"Automation of the ILS."
"The most valuable feature of Entuity is network mapping and information. When clicking on a particular location it can automatically survey the connectivity diagram for us. We can arrange this icon in any kind of formats, such as ring or mesh. The networking mapping can show the components and interconnectivity with the help of IP addresses and NetFlow."
"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."
"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."
"The setup was very simple and took about an hour."
"The best thing about Entuity is that it's easy to use. It's user-friendly. It's intuitive and easy to customize as per your needs."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The configuration is too complicated and you have to create templates and use a lot of menus."
"The tool's pricing strategy could be improved to compete more effectively in the market, especially against competitors like Huawei, Aruba, and Juniper."
"The visibility of applications is not great."
"Automation for the RMA process can be added."
"The automation feature could be improved."
"The delivery Cisco Data Center Network Manager could improve if it was easier. Additionally, some feature improvement is needed."
"API lacks robustness."
"If the customer thinks about using additional solutions, Cisco should make sure they are not left out."
"The configuration of the logging could be improved because if someone deleted any note or inventory, or some change to the inventory, we are not able to identify which user or which administrator modifies these details. For example, there should be read-only locks on maps to prevent their deletion. This way people can only read and cannot delete that particular map."
"Entuity currently has APIs, but they are not straightforward. They are not flexible if an external system wants to communicate with Entuity or create an integration that is not available out of the box. Its APIs can be flexible so that they can be utilized for external integrations that are not available out of the box."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"It should support IPAM or IP Address Management. When it comes to the network, IP Address Management is a feature for which we have to use a different solution. When we are managing networks, if IPAM also becomes a part of this, we do not have to look for a separate solution."
"We would like the backup element of this solution to be improved as, at present, it is very limited and does not have much scope for customization."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"Entuity can improve the fetching of device configuration. The solution uses scripts and I could not understand them or find any recourses on the internet to learn about the language that is used in the script. It could be more user-friendly and the device configuration management could be enhanced."
