Entuity & BMC vs. the Competition • Primary— CA, HP, IBM (Legacy Products) • Multiple loosely integrated products (poor architecture) • Complex, hard to scale, expensive, army of staff/consultants • Another pane of glass (not a real integration) • Secondary— Low to mid-level tools, e.g., Solarwinds (Box of Tools) • Multiple unintegrated products • Do not scale! (Re-architect/replace system to scale to enterprise) • Another pane of glass (not a real integration)
