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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."
"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."
"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."
"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."
"This is a product that is easy to deploy and maintain with a positive end-user experience."
"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."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"The stability is fantastic."
"The set up was very easy. We didn't have any problems with the setup. The deployment took less than an hour."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service."
"Entuity can expand its coverage on monitoring VoIP solutions a little bit more."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"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."
"It has covered everything, so no improvement is required at their end. The only thing is the price."
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"The solution could be more secure."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"The solution's customer service is not very good because the support takes too long."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
