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

"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."

"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."

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

"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."

"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."

"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."

More Entuity pros

"There are things like dashboards and reports (pre-configured and custom) that let me know that things are operating the way they should be, and when they are not."

"This solution offers extensive customization options, making it possible to adapt it precisely to their requirements."

"The Threat Hunting feature provides complete traffic analysis."

"The most valuable feature is auto-discovery. When you send logs from any device to port 514, it helps register those devices automatically."

"The solution is very stable. It's run for years without the need to do anything except, add new patches when they are available, which are always a good idea to install."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM provides good detection against advanced threats."

"Technical support is helpful."

"The product is quite well-organized. The GUI makes it easy to navigate."

More Fortinet FortiSIEM pros

Cons

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

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Entuity cons

"The dashboard needs to improve."

"Creating parsers to try make unknown events or currently unsupported devices produce meaningful information is extremely cumbersome."

"It would be good if the solution offered even more configuration options, especially in relation to the VPN so that it continues to be a very flexible option."

"The only drawback is the licensing model. It can get expensive if you want to integrate more solutions."

"The tool's technical team's response time is too high, and they are not available even when they know that there are many pending issues."

"Sometimes, if there are changes made by a user on a database server, it can be difficult to get that information on the fly. I would like to see a situation where once I specify a user with the database server I need, and with the changes they have performed on that, I don't need to continue my search pattern to drill down just to get the information."

"They could work on their documentation. If there's anything about the solution that needs improvement, it's that. For example, documentation already is on a very high level but specifically on the CLI there are tons of features which can be fine-tuned and thousands of commands are very difficult to document. If they could make this easier, it would improve the overall solution."

"The built-in APIs in Fortinet FortiSIEM are somewhat lacking and could be improved for better integration with external ITSM products."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

"Its price can be better. We are Fortinet partners, so we can get discounts, but its price can be an issue at the beginning for others. There is a licensing scheme for every case. There are three licensing schemes that we can choose from."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is cheaper compared to other products."

"Fortinet FortiSIEM is not an expensive solution."

"We pay for a license for FortiSIEM. We pay for the license and renewal."

"The tool is really expensive. For what the tool does for our team, the price is fair."

"Pricing is determined based on the customer's budget."

"Please be cheaper and more simplified."

"There are additional features that cost more than the standard licensing fees."
