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

"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."

"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."

"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."

"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."

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

"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."

"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."

"MultiWAN and Balance service"

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

More Entuity pros

Cons

"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."

"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."

"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."

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

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

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

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

"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Entuity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

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

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

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

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

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

Broadcom

Entuity network management software continually monitors network bandwidth, network error rate and network congestion, which are all factors that impact overall network throughput. Events can be raised in response to abnormal traffic to allow remedial action before users are impacted. The Entuity network monitor continually evaluates network latency and network jitter to calculate MOS and ICPIF scores. Events can be raised when these scores are unacceptable for business application, voice and video performance. Key Features include: Root Cause Analysis, Event Management, Flow Monitoring & Analysis, Application Path Monitoring and Network Performance Monitoring.
