Performance & Monitoring Supervisor at Saudi Telecom Company
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

"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 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 are able to receive a visualized monitoring of the network infrastructure which is very helpful."
"This is a very user friendly solution, that is good for user access, allowing deep dives into devices, system performance and more."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"I would encourage others to use Entuity, as it's powerful and user-friendly."
"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"I would recommend Entuity to other users as it's user-friendly and easier to manage than other solutions."
"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."
"Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does."
"Customer service is great; always responsive, within minutes at times."
"The fully-extensible event handling has enabled us to reduce on-call incidents by more than 90%."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"Very easy-to-use interface, especially starting from v5 onwards Advanced tweaking possibilities Netflow"
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"There are several valuable features for us, including ease of configuration of monitoring of new hosts/services, worker redundancy and load balancing, and the fact that it’s compatible with the plethora of existing Nagios plugins available on the web."
 

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."
"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 expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"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."
"Entuity currently has APIs, but they are not straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"We are starting to hit the limits of how we can scale out."
"There is one feature that I've been requesting for a while now. Going back to this multi-tenancy thing, right now the tenants can't create their own service checks, so that's still a process they have to get with us."
"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."
"Often the webpage becomes inaccessible and you need to refresh the page."
"We're already evaluating v5.0 and to tell the truth, there's a couple of things that we found really useful in previous versions that for some reason they have removed."
"Hard to say, some minor changes could help improve ease of configuring (which have already been requested and are now on the roadmap)."
"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."
"Large Opsview setups come with high licensing fees."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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