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.

Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity

We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall 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

"I would encourage others to use Entuity, as it's powerful and user-friendly."

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

"We went for this solution because it comes with a lot of features; it's an all-in-one solution, which means we don't have to go for multiple solutions."

"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."

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

"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."

More Entuity pros

"I recommend this solution."

"Simple, we know everything about our infrastructure, problems, etc."

"Zabbix is good for discovery."

"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."

"It works well for my business."

"There is less computing power needed for scaling."

"This is a product I can recommend to others."

"It's very easy to use and manage."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"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 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."

"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."

"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 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."

"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."

"Entuity could improve by having more integration because now network management is not a standalone solution."

More Entuity cons

"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."

"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."

"There are a lot of things that can use improvement which is why we are seeking a new solution."

"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go."

"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."

"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."

"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."

"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."

More Zabbix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"There are no licenses."

"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."

"We are using the free, open-source version."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"It’s free of cost."

"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

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.
