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.

Great scalability, versatility, infrastructure coverage and ease of implementation

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. The number of people needed for deployment depends on the customer, but we usually need at least one person and two to three at other times. The initial implementation takes about two months. The full implementation can be infinite because you may want to implement more. The product does not require a lot of maintenance. To increase the implementation, we push additional services in the first and second years to make it more robust and fully implemented. We usually sell to big enterprises. It can also be affordable for smaller enterprises, but we don't work with them a lot. We have from 2,000 to 10,000 workers. So the product itself can have five, ten or even 20 users.

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 out-of-the-box capability."

"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."

"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."

"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."

"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."

"Scalability and flexibility. The product can grow with your infrastructure so you don't have to install other products. Just add components. It's very simple."

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."

"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

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

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

"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."

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

"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."

"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."

More Entuity pros

Cons

"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."

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

"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."

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

"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."

"The dashboards need to be improved."

"The company has not kept pace with developments."

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

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Entuity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"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)."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

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

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

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

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

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
