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

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics Pros →

"The initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes.""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.""We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring.""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.""This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience.""Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity.""One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."

More Entuity Pros →

"The solution is end-to-end from the network and the application to the processes. Everything about the enterprise infrastructure is being covered by the solution. It's easy to use and easy to navigate and one of the leaders among monitoring solutions.""The most valuable feature is the Access Rights Manager.""The more valuable feature of this solution is the Exchange feature.""SolarWinds SAM has provided us with dynamic thresholds based on historical trends and requirements. The threshold gets configured automatically, so it's no longer necessary to configure it manually every time.""The product integrates with Remedy.""AppInsight for SQL: Enables us to see the relevant error log entries on the same page as performance parameters.""There are many valuable features, including the network configuration manager, and the network performance manager.""Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."

Cons
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

More Juniper Mist Premium Analytics 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.""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.""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.""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 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.""Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more.""If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."

More Entuity Cons →

"Solarwinds should come up the same monitoring system for other certificate expiration alert apart from SSL.""Support for the IBM Mainframe is needed.""One area that could benefit from improvement is its performance""It would be helpful if the solution could integrate more with the security compliances, like this IDSS, etc.""An additional feature that would improve this solution is the ability to complete root cause analysis.""I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic.""Currently SolarWinds SAM offers AppInsight for modern versions of: IIS, Exchange, SQL Server. They have shown to be powerful and insightful tools. However, AppInsight needs to be offered for more applications: Citrix, SharePoint, AX, etc.""SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."
  • "We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."
  • "Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."
  • "It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."
  • "Entuity is not an expensive solution."
  • More Entuity Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I have always said SolarWinds is very “proud” of their products, meaning they are expensive. I cannot afford to purchase all the licenses I need for all the SolarWinds products."
  • "When planning for the number of licenses to purchase, make sure you understand all of the elements within an application required to really understand performance well. In our case, we quickly came to the conclusion that an unlimited license for SAM was the way to go."
  • "Nagios XI, WhatsUpGold, Uptime Software, PRTG, Manage Engine, and SpiceWorks are the other tools that have lower pricing and licensing costs. However, they can't compete with SolarWinds when it comes to the features and functionality that SolarWinds can provide."
  • "I would advise potential buyers to wait until the end of the quarter, end of year, or other time to place orders. There are actually great deals to be had at those times if your budget cycle can match up."
  • "Pricing and licensing is fair for what you get. It does have a great bang-for-the-buck appeal."
  • "SAM is not per server so the pricing model can be deceiving. If you have an enterprise environment, you will quickly exceed your licensing quickly. You should know this before going in."
  • "Understanding the counts of objects to monitor will determine the licensing need. In terms of pricing, it’s not cheap but it’s not expensive as larger vendors whose products don’t have all the features or integrations."
  • "The product might cost you $30,000 USD to buy, but scaling this solution requires the purchase of additional polling engines at $20,000 USD each."
