Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Entuity both compete in the infrastructure management and network monitoring category. DX UIM appears to have the upper hand due to its scalability and extensive monitoring capabilities, making it more suitable for large enterprises.

Features: DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers scalability and extensive monitoring capabilities across diverse platforms. It uses agent-based technology and an open SDK, allowing significant customization with numerous probes. Entuity focuses on network monitoring with strong mapping and application-level capabilities, providing reliable performance and user satisfaction.

Room for Improvement: DX Unified Infrastructure Management requires enhancements in customer support and further development of a more robust maintenance mode. Desired improvements include better VM monitoring and integration with other tools. Entuity needs to improve integration with third-party solutions and make logging configuration more user-friendly.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: DX Unified Infrastructure Management supports hybrid cloud environments, offering deployment flexibility but has varying customer service levels. Entuity typically provides consistent customer service and technical support but lacks the deployment versatility.

Pricing and ROI: DX Unified Infrastructure Management has higher pricing justified by extensive features and scalability, with users reporting a reasonable ROI. Entuity's pricing is competitive, offering value through network monitoring capabilities and a structured pricing model, although some perceive it as expensive.

Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

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

"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."

"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."

"What I like about DX Unified Infrastructure Management is that it's a very good product. The feature I found most valuable in the solution is the MCS feature, which is the automatic deployment of the objects you want to monitor. You can set up a system, for example, if it's a Windows machine and I want to test specific devices on it, I could do that through DX Unified Infrastructure Management. That type of deployment is very good because it means you won't miss any monitoring aspect on any server."

"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."

"Technical support is great."

"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."

"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."

"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

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

"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."

"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Entuity's best feature is its ability to monitor a large number of devices."

More Entuity pros

Cons

"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."

"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."

"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."

"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "

"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."

"Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly."

"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."

"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."

"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Entuity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

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

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

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

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