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 feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"In the past we would spend months in meetings with a new customer, defining what they wanted to monitor, and most of the time we would come back home to see if that was possible to do, however, with CA UIM, we can provide our clients with a predefined menu of items to collect, and we can select those faster and more efficiently."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions."
"It’s been very stable, it’s flexible, and it really fits our business needs and business model."
"Besides the technical benefits described, CA UIM and CA Spectrum were the key factors in increasing the SLA from the IT environment to 99.99%, from the 99.5% achieved without CA solutions."
"With some scripting we are able to integrate much better with our ticketing system."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"We are able to receive a visualized monitoring of the network infrastructure which is very helpful."
"We went for this solution because it comes with a lot of features; it's an all-in-one solution, which means we don't have to go for multiple solutions."
"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."
"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 very user friendly solution, that is good for user access, allowing deep dives into devices, system performance and more."
"Entuity's best feature is its ability to monitor a large number of devices."
 

Cons

"The UI seems sluggish at times. When you go to maneuver or browse through, it takes a while to update."
"I would like to see the retirement of the heavy client (infrastructure manager) in favor of the web-based admin console. It is close, but it is not there yet."
"A lot of the admin is web-based. Having the web-admin portal be a bit more scalable and adding the feature of responsive decision-making process, it would be of benefit to us and I’m sure to others as well."
"Yes, we did encounter on some stability issues earlier."
"The probes (basic components that can, amongst other things, monitor particular systems) can be buggy."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"Although the products is easy to deploy, the implementation effort is still inconsistent."
"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 currently has APIs, but they are not straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."
"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"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."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."
"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."
