Featured Reviews

Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Edmar Silva - PeerSpot reviewer
Excellent monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities while identifying exact issue locations
When I first started using ThousandEyes, I found it challenging to extract useful information due to the numerous options available. I needed some training to effectively troubleshoot. More detailed documentation explaining the metrics and the testing mechanisms would be helpful. The information is there, but understanding exactly what ThousandEyes is testing to make its conclusions can be obscure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."
"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."
"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."
"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."
"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The company provides excellent service."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of ThousandEyes are the full monitoring capabilities and the ability to identify the exact location of problems in the path between the application and the end-user."
"The most valuable feature of ThousandEyes is user-friendliness. It has been essential for us to have a solution that is easy to use."
"The solution's initial setup process was straightforward...In terms of ROI, the solution is worth the money."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the path analyzer, which identifies the node causing the errors."
 

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."
"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"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 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."
"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."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"Presently, it lacks the ability to integrate with other Cisco products."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"The solution's network and reporting could be improved."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"Once I fully use the tool 100%, I'm sure I would have something to critique, however, for now, I'm happy with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."
"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
"The solution costs several thousand dollars per year."
"In our company, we incur a yearly expense in our company for the licensing part. I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten since it is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is cheap; I rate it a five out of ten."
"It is a quite expensive solution."
"The solution is cheap."
