Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"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."
"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 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 find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"The setup was very simple and took about an hour."
"The most valuable feature is the graphical user interface."
"It combines and presents information from many different sources, giving a corporate-wide vision on a single pane of glass."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"We found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"From web interfaces to custom monitors and alarms, this product has a high level of flexibility that can be molded to suit your business needs, regardless of the size of your organization."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 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 can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"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. 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."
"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."
"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."
"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."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Sometimes there are issues when upgrading to a new version of the product."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
