Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

Entuity and DX Performance Management are competing in the network performance management category. While both address different needs, DX Performance Management has an upper hand due to its advanced analytics which offer more in-depth features compared to Entuity.

Features: Entuity provides robust network monitoring, efficient alerting, and management capabilities focusing on real-time insights and detailed reports. It ensures effective delivery of essential monitoring functions. DX Performance Management offers superior performance analytics, enhanced scalability, and integrated service-level management which are ideal for organizations requiring extensive data analysis.

Room for Improvement: Entuity lacks some advanced analytics capabilities that its competitor offers which could enhance its offering for data-heavy organizations. Additionally, its scalability may fall short for very large enterprises. More integration options could also expand its appeal. DX Performance Management could improve by offering a simpler deployment process for faster onboarding, providing more user-friendly interfaces, and reducing the high initial investment to make it more accessible to smaller enterprises.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Entuity stands out with a straightforward deployment model and supportive customer service that facilitate a smooth onboarding process. DX Performance Management, on the other hand, presents a more complex deployment scenario but makes up for it with extensive customer support and training resources, which can be beneficial for clients seeking comprehensive assistance.

Pricing and ROI: Entuity is typically more cost-effective with lower initial setup costs, making it appealing for small to mid-sized enterprises looking for immediate ROI. Its pricing structure suits budget-conscious buyers. DX Performance Management requires a higher initial investment, justified by its comprehensive feature set which promises long-term ROI through improved network performance, suitable for those prioritizing advanced capabilities over upfront cost savings.

The vertical database loads faster than any other product available

We experience disconnections between the solutions own components. In the last five years, there have been many intermittent connection issues with the four components and we still don't know the reasons. The solution has issues when loading groups that have been created in the application interfaces. It would be nice to have a mobile application. In the current industry and technical word, the mobile phone is the only thing that is always in your hands. Other Broadcom products have mobile applications but the solution doesn't offer one. It would be great to view device parameters and view or download graphs from a mobile device.

A good solution for network monitoring and support management, but there is no centralized database

There is no centralized database. It is an issue if you use a local database and have multiple borders. However, if you have an external database, you can keep the same old data from an old border up to 100 borders. In addition, if we want to create an ABI or use an ABI to connect data, there is no competition when we ask for support. If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service. Other competitors like Micro Focus, a network management system, have a new supportability matrix in the market every quarter.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."

"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."

"The integration with NetFlow, the NFA solution, so that we can have our flow forensics paired with the SNMP polling performance metrics on the same page."

"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."

"What is most useful is visibility."

"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use."

"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."

"We're able to present data from multiple back-end collection sources into a single dashboard for the users. So they don't have to go to multiple locations to get data about a particular item, or device."

More DX Performance Management pros

"The setup was very simple and took about an hour."

"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."

"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."

"I particularly like the theme and the dashboard that they have brought in this version. In the previous version, there was only a simple screen. There wasn't any dashboard. It was a simple view, but now, they have brought in a dashboard that gives the fields for the ops as well. They can get the data they want to see in a single place."

"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."

"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."

"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."

More Entuity pros

Cons

"Global synchronization errors. Sometimes it just doesn't finish in time due to the load."

"I would like to have more tasks, graphs, and possibilities for linking to the graphs and reports added to the solution."

"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."

"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."

"Spectrum's topology view sometimes does not rebuild automatically when a device is shut down and reconnected. It requires manual discovery and rebuilding of the topology, which I hope can be improved."

"This may be available by now but for server space, when it comes to the disk file system, I'd like to see that graphically represented, or the trend, rather than what I'm seeing now."

"When it goes through discovery, or whatever it is doing in the back-end that slows it down, sometimes we get some failures with it. "

"I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it."

More DX Performance Management cons

"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."

"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."

"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 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."

"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 could improve by having more integration because now network management is not a standalone solution. You have to integrate it with your network, applications, and everything else. We have to collect that information from those solutions or relevant managers. Additionally, the SLA dashboard should be improved."

"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."

"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."

More Entuity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."

"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."

"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."

"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."

"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. "

"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."

"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."

"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."

"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
