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."Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"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."
"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."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"The remote probes are very useful. They allow us to provide a reference across different areas in the network. In trying to localize issues, that's very useful."
"It is pretty simple to use, which is always a good thing. It's been very reliable in updating us if any issues crop up."
"We use the remote probes a lot for our branch offices. Instead of deploying the full instance of PRTG, we'll put a remote probe out there. This simplifies the whole deployment for us."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"The alerting is the most valuable feature. I also like the iPhone app. I get alerts in an email on the iPhone app."
"PRTG gives us true visibility of the downtime of particular circuit functions. So if a circuit is up but not routing traffic, I will know with this tool. I can write a customized script for a sensor to detect specific things."
"It's very easy to manage when you've got time to do some work on it: things like adding devices, adding groups, adding sensor clusters, and being able to clone and move stuff around."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"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 support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The product could be improved by being cross-platform friendly."
"Improvements in data storage flexibility, such as allowing customers to specify data retention periods, would enhance PRTG."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"The database needs improvement."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by having better integration with devices."
"Its price can be better. Its price is a problem for us because it is in dollars, and there is a high conversion rate. In terms of new features, it can have BGP monitoring. It should also have a dashboard and maps editor."
"The thing that we do struggle with a bit is in the historic data. If I want look over 30 days, because it averages out onto one graph, you can't zoom in and drill down information."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
