Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Provides seamless network setup and efficient management with potential for security integration improvement
Areas where the HPE Aruba Networking UXI can improve include the integration of SD-WAN and security in a single solution. Now, Aruba has developed an SD-WAN solution that is among the best, alongside WLAN. In Brazil, it's common to see many hospitals and government locations utilizing Aruba solutions. However, Fortinet is well-known here for combining SD-WAN with security in a single box, whereas Aruba and Cisco typically have separate solutions for each. This separation can be expensive for companies in Brazil as they have to acquire multiple boxes. Currently, around 50% of firewall sales in Latin America are from Fortinet, but I believe this trend is changing as Aruba develops its offerings.

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 product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 performance, elasticity, and efficiency of Aruba products have been exceptional."
"The most valuable feature of HP Aruba Networking UX-I is its 24/7 monitoring capability."
"Aruba products have significantly improved our network reliability, as none of my teammates have logged a call to Aruba in the past year."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"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."
"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."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."
"It would be beneficial if the tool offered a less expensive subscription as it is currently costly for our clients."
"Some manual administrative tasks still need to be triggered manually, leading to lower efficiency."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
"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."
"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
