"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."
"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 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 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."
"Entuity's best feature is its ability to monitor a large number of devices."
"The product is scalable."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"There are a lot of valuable features with SolarWinds NPM. We can receive a lot of detailed data from the monitoring that can use useful for investigations, especially when you are troubleshooting. It is very helpful. Overall it was a very good experience."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"It is very extensible with 'SWQL' and APIs to where we are beginning to integrate it with network automation."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 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."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"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 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."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"The solution needs to integrate with additional SDN technologies that are part of the hyper market."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"The aesthetic widgets should be dynamic widgets, so the customization can be even more customizable."
"Each model has different features, so clients need to purchase a separate model for SQL monitoring, database monitoring, network traffic analyzer, HTTP traffic, etc. So each feature they need is in a different model, but customers would prefer an all-in-one solution."
"There should be a little bit more integration in some of the other tooling and utilizing the APIs of devices or tools could be a little bit better."
