We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and PRTG Network Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."
"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"The feature I like is that it can easily do a lot of mapping."
"We can see which fiber links have been used heavily and, if they are used heavily, we can introduce more links to particular buildings or particular areas."
"What I've found most valuable is the custom sensor, which allows you to write scripts or code to monitor a specific metric in your environment."
"The scalability is good. You can improve a remote host or the clustering. This gives it the flexibility to monitor another infrastructure remotely."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"I have an issue with DFS, distributed file services... there isn't one by default. Taking into account the difference between DFS and DFSR as well would be great."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
