Solution Architect at SA Consulting
Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance & Monitoring Supervisor at Saudi Telecom Company
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

"It’s easy to implement, a good solution for medium environments."
"It is very scalable."
"The most valuable features are, I would say, the flexibility and the performance."
"Technical support is great."
"The valuable features are that it monitors our infrastructure, our servers, network devices, and applications proactively, helps us to prevent problems, and CA UIM tells us how to do that."
"We gave them a tool that can give them everything they wanted, that they never had before."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It helps us to reduce the time and cost involved and the number of employees involved."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, simplicity of the end user's experience (the forms and the sheets that you use, the screens you can use to see what's going on, and overall capability), as well as the ease of integration into other solutions."
"Entuity's best feature is its ability to monitor a large number of devices."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"I would recommend Entuity to other users as it's user-friendly and easier to manage than other 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."
"I would encourage others to use Entuity, as it's powerful and user-friendly."
"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."
 

Cons

"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"UIM supports AS400, but it is somewhat limited."
"The biggest concern stability wise falls under UMP, the management protocol. We’ve had a hard time bringing it up and keeping it stable."
"Open source and acquired components are often bolted on and integrated poorly."
"Stability issues: Q issues at very slow dashboards (flash!!!)."
"Customer support is good, but sometimes needs bit of urgency from a CA engineer to look at the issue."
"Scalability for redundant data centers is challenging."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 currently has APIs, but they are not straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."
"Entuity is not an expensive solution."
"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."
"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
