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 remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."
"We have asked questions of their technical support and they have a very good response time."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"From a network point of view, we can see the state of the network, as well as bandwidth usage and downtime."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"It is user-friendly. It is easy to set up health checks within PRTG and use scans. It is like a self-service tool, and anyone can configure their own settings within PRTG."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard interface. It's very clean, it's very simple to use."
"It is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."
"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."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"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."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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 Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"Performance-wise, PRTG Network Monitor still needs improvement because a large number of SNMPv3 queries reduces tool performance."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"The dashboarding definitely needs improvement."
"Sometimes, our PRTG Network Monitor system crashes and a lot of sensors go down."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"I would like the ability to monitor Cisco IRS devices."
"The technical support could respond a little bit quicker."
