Solution Architect at SA Consulting
Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance & Monitoring Supervisor at Saudi Telecom Company
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

"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"As I have worked on this product for quite some time I personally think this product is the best in terms of overall infrastructure monitoring."
"Nimsoft shines like the sun compared to ProactiveNet with night and day differences in stability, scalability, functionality, features, and quality of support."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"No technology is perfect, but CA is doing a really wonderful job of providing products that are reliable, scalable, and dependable to entities all over the world."
"The most valuable feature are the data gathering capabilities, metrics, and being able to publish those."
"This product is very flexible for the administrator; we can do whatever we want, and it is easily customizable and upgradable."
"It’s easy to implement, a good solution for medium environments."
"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."
"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, simplicity of the end user's experience (the forms and the sheets that you use, the screens you can use to see what's going on, and overall capability), as well as the ease of integration into other solutions."
"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."
"I would encourage others to use Entuity, as it's powerful and user-friendly."
"I would recommend Entuity to other users as it's user-friendly and easier to manage than other solutions."
 

Cons

"Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive."
"The NAS probe has a performance issue. When there is huge number of incoming events, NAS fails to process them."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"Improvements could be made to the reporting and analytics features. The OOB report templates and analytics can be improved."
"Product stability and performance, especially in Linux environments needs to be improved."
"Scalability for redundant data centers is challenging."
"Usually it's reliability issues. Some of the components don't always function as intended, or don't function as you would think they should."
"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."
"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 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."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"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."
"What might be improved for the user may be the depth of insight into the events that do happen and the ease of integration."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"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."
"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."
"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."
"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
