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.

We use PRTG Network Monitor for monitoring traffic on interfaces and the behavior of network traffic. If there are sudden changes in traffic or any configuration issues, we can sort them out using PRTG. It's very helpful for troubleshooting and monitoring traffic utilization on our interfaces…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."

"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."

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

"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."

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

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

More Entuity pros

"PRTG Network Monitor is easy to set up. Within a few minutes, it is operational."

"Technical support has been very helpful so far."

"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently."

"It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs, glitches and we have not experienced any crashing."

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

"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."

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

"The reporting module is easy to configure."

More PRTG Network Monitor pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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

"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."

"The database needs improvement."

"The clustering aspect needs improvement, as there is a bit of confusion about you do when hit that 5000 probe mark."

"The user interface could be more modern as it is quite dated. PRTG Network Monitor can sometimes be too detailed and cluttered at the beginning, making it heavy to use."

"PRTG Network Monitor needs to enhance network performance monitoring."

"PRTG Network Monitor should provide syslog monitoring since it is not available at this time. There are very limited features as compared to other solutions."

"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."

"Its price can be better. Its price is a problem for us because it is in dollars, and there is a high conversion rate. In terms of new features, it can have BGP monitoring. It should also have a dashboard and maps editor."

More PRTG Network Monitor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

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

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

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

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

"It is expensive."

"The price was pretty good, very competitive."

"We have unlimited devices and sensors, and it is a bit pricey, but we do have unlimited sensors. With all things considered the price is fine, related to the solution itself. PRTG Network Monitor is good value for money."

"We pay for PRTG Network Monitor annually. The price is approximately 10,000 rupees annually."

"If you are not too sure about it, try the free version. Then, if you like it, you can go to the paid version and roll it out."

"The ability to use the base version with 100 free sensors is great. The cost on other packages can be very reasonable."

"At the moment I'm only using 500 sensors. I pay yearly, so it's a cost that's easily swallowed."

"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."

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.

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
