Pros
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"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.""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.""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.""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.""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."

More Entuity Pros →

"It allows us to directly add individual VMs independently.""The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring.""I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard.""We can see trends for a lot of different things, such as hard drive space and bandwidth usage. We can see and plan for the future by knowing, "We're sort of at 75% capacity now. In three months time, we know we're going to be up to 90%,so we need to plan ahead for it, getting upgrades booked in place." Since things like this take time and effort, it's handy to see trends into the future of where our company is going.""We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas.""The product is simple and easy to implement.""Good compilation of the system's information.""From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"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.""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 can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more.""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 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.""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."

More Entuity Cons →

"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times.""Along with more room for automation, more room for advanced configuration can be integrated into the solution.""The Desktop app is good but it can be really sluggish at times, especially when you're editing different elements.""I would like to see more updates available in this solution.""Integration into service management ticketing systems could be better. They should simplify the integration into big service management platforms like ServiceNow, Remedy, and Cherwell. They're really into monitoring, but they don't do any self-resolution. It would be better if the company moved more into the AIOps space so that you could actually kick off some remedies. I know that you can execute some commands from the tool, but you need to develop those all yourself. It would be really handy if they had some auto-remedy scripts that they could develop on top.""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.""We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur.""Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same.
