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.

A user-friendly solution that is easy to install and improves visibility

I would like to see improvements made to the user guide. From my personal experience, it is helpful to see a list of steps describing what to do next in different situations. An example is what to do and what to back up in the case of certain types of failure. There are also cases where a customer can't understand specific features. Enhancements to the user guide would be helpful for this. More features for network fragmentation would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

More Entuity pros

"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."

"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."

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."

"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."

"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. 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 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."

"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."

More Entuity cons

"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."

"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."

"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

"Licensing is quite expensive."

vSTREAM

Overview

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.

Park Place Technologies

The vSTREAM virtual appliance complements existing Adaptive Session Intelligence (ASI)-based instrumentation to provide the same level of visibility within virtualized and cloud infrastructures that is already possible in physical environments. The vSTREAM virtual appliance is ideal for monitoring service-critical traffic running within virtualized or cloud infrastructures, either locally on a host or as an aggregation point for multiple hosts. With complete visibility across physical, virtual and cloud networks, the vSTREAM virtual appliance presents real-time views of end-to-end call trace data and network-wide KPIs, to protect the reliability and availability of networks and application services.
