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.

Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is a very user friendly solution, that is good for user access, allowing deep dives into devices, system performance and more."
"I would encourage others to use Entuity, as it's powerful and user-friendly."
"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."
"My clients have received a good return on investment."
"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"It's a must-have solution for large IT Operations, providing the ability to analyze infrastructure and application-related performance and data from the wire perspective."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"ExtraHop came out with the best price, and I think that it gives us a broader view of our network."
"This is a must-try product."
"The most valuable features are security detections, perimeter detection, dashboards, and alerts."
"ExtraHop is far ahead of anything comparable in the industry."
"It gives you full 360-degree visibility into your entire infrastructure."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 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 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."
"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."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"There is room for improvement in the security part. They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"The improvement that would make the most impact would be expanding on the new EXA big data back end."
"Additional out-of-the-box solutions and use cases would be nice."
"We've had some struggles getting it to see everything that we want to see. Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
"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."
"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
