More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics 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.""The setup was very simple and took about an hour.""The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes.""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.""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.""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 feature is the performance parameters of the system.""Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens.""Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work.""The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful.""The application performance monitoring feature is valuable.""I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring.""Provides timely notifications.""Nagios Core is stable."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Cons →

"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.""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.""In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it.""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.""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.""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.""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."

More Entuity Cons →

"Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do.""The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way.""The mapping is a little hard.""It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through.""I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future.""Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down.""Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI.""Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
