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."The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."
"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."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"The best feature is that it lets me know what is going on. I need to know if something has gone down, I need to know if something is running very slowly. PRTG tells me that."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"It improves the status of my infrastructure, from networking devices to real-time machines."
"I found PRTG Network Monitor very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring the utilization of either the network or server."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"They could improve the process of updating the license."
"PRTG's documentation could be improved."
"They just released a newer version of the desktop app, a beta version, that I have been trialing out. I prefer the older version, only because of how the layout is designed"
"While the desktop app is good, they could slightly improve it. We would like it to be a single pane of glass. At the moment, you can only see certain portions of information. You have to scroll through to make it more granular. We want them to develop the desktop app to be more user-friendly."
"PRTG Network Monitor could improve by having a feature to allow uploading of preset standard network switch configurations and the ability to monitor the SLA configuration, such as uptime for the switches or internet connectivity. This would be very useful."
"The database needs improvement."
"Users need to buy the more expensive licenses if they expect to be able to scale."
