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.

Cost effective but when we originally purchased LANGuardian, some features needed further development.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"We went for this solution because it comes with a lot of features; it's an all-in-one solution, which means we don't have to go for multiple solutions."

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

"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."

"We are able to receive a visualized monitoring of the network infrastructure which is very helpful."

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

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

More Entuity pros

"Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations", and Languardian was the most efficient and effective tool for the job."

"If you are looking for a solid solution that can be easily deployed then I'd recommend considering Netfort solutions."

Cons

"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 currently has APIs, but they are not straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Entuity could improve by having more integration because now network management is not a standalone solution."

More Entuity cons

"Sure, at the time we bought the product, the GUI and graphs/reports/pie charts etc ... were not fully developed."

"It takes a long time to load results. I think it would be great if they fix the slowness issue in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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.
