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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Overall, I had a very positive experience."

"Azure Bastion eliminates the need for a jump server by providing secure access to servers without hitting the public network."

"As an Azure consultant, for me, it is the best way to give the administrator access as you can manage the permission - including who can access Bastion."

"It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required."

"The connection to virtual machines is very useful."

"The most significant advantage lies in its runbook features, particularly beneficial for our infrastructure team."

"Azure Bastion is preferable because you just switch it on and off you go."

"Azure Bastion makes it easy to provide quick virtual machine access to our customers."

More Azure Bastion pros

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

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

"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."

"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."

More Entuity pros

Cons

"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage."

"When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited."

"Speaking of AI, having Microsoft Copilot in Azure Bastion would be good."

"You are charged for retrieving your own data."

"While general support is valuable, having a detailed breakdown of the specific issues would contribute to a more streamlined and efficient resolution process."

"The solution breaks down sometimes."

"Currently, Azure Bastion does not allow for direct data transfer between desktops. A storage solution must be created to transfer data, and this requires additional permissions like ACL or NFS."

"There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice."

More Azure Bastion cons

"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

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

More Entuity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure Bastion's pricing is good."

"The tool is cheaply priced. I would say that the product is free to use."

"It does not save money for us."

"The pricing is a lower decision point than high-quality security for our organization. Better security comes at a cost, but it's worth it, and that's what we tell our customers."

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

"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."

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

Overview

Azure Bastion is a service you deploy that lets you connect to a virtual machine using your browser and the Azure portal. The Azure Bastion service is a fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. It provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly from the Azure portal over TLS. When you connect via Azure Bastion, your virtual machines do not need a public IP address, agent, or special client software.

Microsoft

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.
