A good solution for network monitoring and support management, but there is no centralized database

There is no centralized database. It is an issue if you use a local database and have multiple borders. However, if you have an external database, you can keep the same old data from an old border up to 100 borders. In addition, if we want to create an ABI or use an ABI to connect data, there is no competition when we ask for support. If we want to modify the calculation matrix or equation, we have to raise a professional service. Other competitors like Micro Focus, a network management system, have a new supportability matrix in the market every quarter.

Efficient monitoring with detailed customization, yet complexity remains

The best feature of WhatsUp Gold is the automatic generation of topology and its integration with virtualization and wireless. I have used the automated device discovery with this topology feature. The interactive map feature helps me manage the topology because sometimes we cannot draw the topology correctly, so we need to manually edit the connections. The alerting system is very tunable and customizable, but it's a little complicated to use. Many customers cannot manage it by themselves and need support from us, the provider. We always use the dashboards in the SOC, where we constantly display a dashboard or multiple dashboards. This allows us to know immediately if the connection or bandwidth is full or if the connection is broken.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

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 most valuable feature is the ease of deployment, simplicity of the end user's experience (the forms and the sheets that you use, the screens you can use to see what's going on, and overall capability), as well as the ease of integration into other solutions."

"This is a very user friendly solution, that is good for user access, allowing deep dives into devices, system performance and more."

"We find the SurePath component of this solution to be very valuable, as it gives us the path to whatever we are configuring."

"We went for this solution because it comes with a lot of features; it's an all-in-one solution, which means we don't have to go for multiple solutions."

"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."

"Event management and the geographical Google API-based network topology are the most valuable features of Entuity."

"I would recommend Entuity to other users as it's user-friendly and easier to manage than other solutions."

More Entuity pros

"It handles the basics of monitoring."

"One thing good about WhatsUp Gold is that it is fairly stable."

"The most valuable feature of WhatsUp Gold is NetFlow and the virtualized maps."

"The user interface is good enough."

"It's a good product, and if one has the expertise to use it, it will be a good investment and it will help IT to save and plan for the future."

"WhatsUp Gold is very easy to deploy."

"I use it on premises to monitor my network database. We monitor the link up/down and use the SNMP traps as well."

More WhatsUp Gold pros

Cons

"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."

"What might be improved for the user may be the depth of insight into the events that do happen and the ease of integration."

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

"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."

"It should support IPAM or IP Address Management. 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."

"A typical user might want to see even more depth to the standard reporting and ease of integration."

More Entuity cons

"I think there are a few bugs now. Although they give some resolution for this, we cannot share the network remotely because of our company policy."

"One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in."

"The product is old and not updated."

"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."

"The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product."

"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers."

"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution, but after that, it's possible to do almost anything with it."

"I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."

More WhatsUp Gold cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can be comparatively expensive but that is because it is comprehensive."

"We have 400 licenses and we are only using 150 licenses."

"It varies and depends on the quantity. It's worth the cost."

"Entuity's licensing is very highly-priced."

"Entuity is not an expensive solution."

"I'm not sure, but it's expensive. We don't pay any additional fees."

"This is a well priced solution."

"Pricing is reasonable compared to other products."

"The price of WhatsUp Gold is good."

"The most valuable feature is the cost compared to other solutions."

"The pricing can be on the expensive side when considering competing products."

"It is per device, per year. The pricing is very clear. If you have a service agreement, you get all of your major upgrades and minor upgrades. It was under $10,000 to go all-in with all of the different add-ons for it."

"The tool's price is reasonable. WhatsUp Gold is cheaper than SolarWinds."
