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.

Alerting precision has reduced incident response times and improved department-level network visibility

The auto-pause sensor during the maintenance window is good without any false alerts, and it prevents me from getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance, helping department heads understand their own network usage better. It has reduced incident response time by giving clearer ownership of each alert, ensuring alerts go to the proper recipient. SNMP testers and auto-pause are among the best features of PRTG Network Monitor, which is particularly useful for different departments such as HR and finance, where alerts can be filtered accordingly. The alerting features and dashboard of PRTG Network Monitor are very helpful, especially in our industry. However, the dashboard can look cluttered on smaller screens, which is one negative aspect. PRTG Network Monitor has impacted us positively; we have stopped getting flooded with alerts during planned maintenance or unplanned outages. Compared to others, this gives specific alerts very quickly and helps department heads understand their own network usage better, thus reducing incident response time so that each alert has clear ownership.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a very user friendly solution, that is good for user access, allowing deep dives into devices, system performance and more."

"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."

"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."

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

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

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

"The setup was very simple and took about an hour."

"I would recommend Entuity to other users as it's user-friendly and easier to manage than other solutions."

More Entuity pros

"You will not find anything cheaper that really does the job."

"It is easy to use and intuitive, which is really important. It does what it says on the box by giving you a visual of the state of what is going on at any one time."

"I think net flow is PRTG's most valuable feature because it doesn't cost much for us because the net flow sensor is already included in the PRTG license. We can monitor our traffic in our proxy and router."

"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."

"The most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."

"This solution makes it easy to group devices, and it is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."

"Currently, we are competing in the market with SolarWinds and ManageEngine, they are good, but we come out winning."

"It is great for service level agreements and can comply fully with internet monitoring or any interface."

More PRTG Network Monitor pros

Cons

"What might be improved for the user may be the depth of insight into the events that do happen and the ease of integration."

"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. 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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Entuity cons

"Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."

"There is not much not to love in this software but one item on my wishlist that has yet to be addressed in an intuitive way is the ability to use and manage templates."

"I would like to have a VM version that can be installed on a cloud such as Azure. We're using Azure, and we're eliminating on-premise servers. It would be helpful to have a PRTG version that can be installed on the Azure cloud."

"They need to address the slowness issue that sometimes occurs with PRTG Network Monitor."

"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."

"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."

"PRTG Network Monitor is okay to use, but you need some time to analyze the data, so this could be an area for improvement."

"It needs to have more monitoring on end-user devices."

More PRTG Network Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."

"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."

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

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

"Licenses are very expensive, so I would like to see cheaper licensing."

"We've got the unlimited package... I believe it was around the £15,000 per year mark."

"We are using the basic PRTG that we can download for free. For now, we only need to monitor less than 100 devices. For more than 100 devices, we would need to buy a license. PRTG is much cheaper than SolarWinds."

"On a yearly basis, I believe it's between £1,200 and £1,500."

"PRTG Network Monitor's price is a little high."

"I rate the price of PRTG Network Monitor an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."

"We have an unlimited perpetual license, so we just pay support costs and it can scale throughout the organization."

"In my company now, we are using the free version."

Overview

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.

Park Place Technologies
