We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and SolarWinds NPM 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."It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"What I've found most valuable about the solution is that it's scalable."
"I like the tracking feature to track devices and see where they are connected. This is very practical."
"It is scalable."
"SolarWinds NPM provides an overview of network monitoring, extending its capabilities to cover other aspects, such as virtual machines and servers. The platform has features like NetPath, which is particularly beneficial for end-users, offering insights into issues like latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems with routers, switches, or servers."
"The connectivity of the solution is very good."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to use."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."
"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."
"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."
"We are looking to change away from this solution because of the documentation and the solution doesn't have enough integration in our country. The documentation is too weak."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"The root cause analysis and installation faults are not clear."
"Technical support can be slow to respond."
"It would be nice if SolarWinds added some technical protocols like Modbus. The market needs a simple solution for monitoring a technical device."
"The product is scalable, but at a cost. Extra modules have to be purchased for each extra server. The initial set up isn't complex, but will require someone who is experienced with the network monitoring system"
"A feature I would ask for is for them to have this solution available for Linux systems instead of Windows."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
