We performed a comparison between Entuity and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"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."
"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."
"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"SolarWinds' network and server application monitoring features are strong."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"Can easily be interconnected with other management systems."
"Being able to easily, and quickly obtain disc space statistics from servers and determine how much was free or used on various volumes."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"The most valuable features are language support and technical support."
"The stability is fantastic."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"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 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."
"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."
"I think Solar Winds NPM needs to create a profile with documentation responsibility."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve by adding the deepest inspection, performance networking, and IP address discovery."
"Complex and overly detailed setup."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved. We would like to divide the dashboards to give a clear view to our management team to show what we have and what deficiencies exist in our network."
"SolarWinds needs to be improved such that it is on par with the leading products in the market."
