Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 15, 2025

Entuity and PRTG Network Monitor are both contenders in the network monitoring arena. While Entuity offers robust customer support and competitive pricing, PRTG Network Monitor takes the lead due to its advanced features and overall user satisfaction.

Features: Entuity provides comprehensive monitoring, including detailed analytics and real-time insights. Its SurePath feature offers application-level monitoring with deep visibility into performance. Automated network discovery and topology mapping enhance troubleshooting. PRTG Network Monitor offers extensive sensor options, customizable dashboards, and a user-friendly interface. Its real-time monitoring and adaptable alerting system stand out, along with remote probes for comprehensive monitoring across various locations.

Room for Improvement: Entuity's interface could benefit from simplification to reduce setup complexity. Its advanced configurations, while powerful, may be streamlined for easier use. Integration with more ticketing systems beyond BNC ITSM could enhance functionality. PRTG Network Monitor could enhance mobile app features for on-the-go access. It also might refine alerting to minimize false alarms and further improve its capacity planning features for better resource management predictions.

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.

Detects suden changes but significant pricing concerns affect the effectiveness of network traffic troubleshooting

We use PRTG Network Monitor for monitoring traffic on interfaces and the behavior of network traffic. If there are sudden changes in traffic or any configuration issues, we can sort them out using PRTG. It's very helpful for troubleshooting and monitoring traffic utilization on our interfaces…

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."

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

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

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

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

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

"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 setup was very simple and took about an hour."

More Entuity pros

"It has made our infrastructure more reliable."

"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."

"The remote probes are very useful. They allow us to provide a reference across different areas in the network. In trying to localize issues, that's very useful."

"The technical support seems to be quick, clever, and has a comprehensive knowledge base online, which is fantastic."

"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are user-friendly, and the graphical interface is good for all the network devices that are mapped in this organization. It's very easy to find reports for any devices that we are looking for."

"I would boldly say that this is the most scalable network monitoring tool that I know of"

"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."

"The solution has excellent redundant features."

More PRTG Network Monitor pros

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."

"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."

"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."

"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."

"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."

More Entuity cons

"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."

"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."

"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."

"Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution."

"I would like to see network mapping."

"The operations dashboard is only available in PRTG's enterprise version, but I wish it could be accessed in the standard licensing. It would also be nice if PRTG had templates for dashboard monitoring, software monitoring, etc. It can help me set up a dashboard because now we don't have a template from PRTG, so we need to create one from scratch."

"The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements."

"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."

More PRTG Network Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

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

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

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

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

"We are using the basic PRTG that we can download for free. For now, we only need to monitor less than 100 devices. For more than 100 devices, we would need to buy a license. PRTG is much cheaper than SolarWinds."

"I rate the licensing for PRTG Network Monitor an eight out of ten."

"On a yearly basis, I believe it's between £1,200 and £1,500."

"It is about £4,500 for the first year, then about another 15 to 20 percent annually after that. So, we are looking at about £1000 running costs a year. When you think about how much an outage costs per minute, it's negligible."

"PRTG is now available as PRTG Enterprise Monitor, and the price varies depending on the total number of sensors the customer buys"

"We've got the unlimited package... I believe it was around the £15,000 per year mark."

"It's an annual license that is based on the number of endpoints that we're tracking and using."

"The pricing is comparable."

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

PRTG Network Monitor runs on a Windows machine within your network, collecting various statistics from the machines, software, and devices which you designate. PRTG comes with an easy-to-use web interface with point-and-click configuration. You can easily share data from it with non-technical colleagues and customers, including via live graphs and custom reports. This will let you plan for network expansion, see what applications are using most of your connection, and make sure that no one is hogging the entire network just to torrent videos.

To monitor a large IT environment, it's important to be able to scale PRTG up. Paessler PRTG Enterprise Monitor includes all the proven capabilities of PRTG Network Monitor, which are enhanced by exclusive ITOps Board for a service-oriented, central overview of multiple PRTG servers.
