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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"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 initial setup of Entuity is easy and the full process took approximately 30 minutes."
"One of the most valuable features of Entuity is the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"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 stability is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"It covers everything from end to end, from the standpoint of endpoint machines and the routers and switches. The switch port also comes there."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We deployed the solution from new and completed the upgrades."
"We can proactively fix historical issues, so we won't face those problems in future."
"A product that is well-tested and trusted in demanding situations."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"In the most recent versions, Entuity has removed the Explorer navigation feature. This was very useful, and Entuity would be improved by restoring it."
"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 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."
"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."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"Fortigate firewalls are one example of a product that we are unable to monitor properly via SolarWinds NPM."
"The improvement would be that SolarWinds NPM thoroughly checks its patches before releasing them to the market. Better testing, alpha testing, and then releasing it to the market."
"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."
"SolarWinds NPM needs to increase its elements. One polling engine can only support 10,000 elements then it becomes slow. There are limitations even if you have the full SLX version license."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Better offline license management. I’ve had to get in touch with customer support several times simply to remove an expired license from our NPM servers."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
