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.

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

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."
"My clients have received a good return on investment."
"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."
"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 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."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"I would recommend Entuity to other users as it's user-friendly and easier to manage than other solutions."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"The dashboards are the real value add for this product in my opinion and enhance customer experience if done properly."
"Opsview, though not the least expensive Nagios-based commercial monitoring product offers excellent value for performance which rivals expensive commercial products from the major IT vendors; it is well worth the money paid for it."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does."
"With the monitoring capabilities, I can tell when things happen and be proactive about them instead of constantly putting out fires."
"For me, scalability and reliability are the product's most valuable features."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
 

Cons

"Entuity currently has APIs, but they are not straightforward."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"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."
"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."
"It should support IPAM or IP Address Management. When we are managing networks, if IPAM also becomes a part of this, we do not have to look for a separate solution."
"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."
"What might be improved for the user may be the depth of insight into the events that do happen and the ease of integration."
"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"It can be a little bit flaky with the agent on VMware."
"Reload time: Although there have been major gains in the time to process reloads, I think that there is still room for improvement in this area."
"Sometimes Opsview has crashed, but the multiple master/slave solution provides consistent uptime for monitoring."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"There is always room for improvement, and part of the reason we're looking at Grafana is because there are things it can do that Opsview cannot do as well."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."
"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."
"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
