We performed a comparison between Entuity and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"Entuity's best feature is its ability to monitor a large number of devices."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"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."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"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."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"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."
"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."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"The event correlation could be better."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
