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."The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"We cannot function without this solution. "
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"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 found that it was easy to operate, and it was simple if anyone has entry-level working experience or even if someone is not experienced."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"The most valuable features of SolarWinds NPM are network performance monitoring and the overall benefit for servers."
"This has helped us to monitor the availability of our routers, switches, servers, and virtual environments."
"The ability to quickly identify downtime is the most valuable."
"I can do everything remotely, including running PowerShell scripts or performing standard updates."
"Network performance is the main issue clients are facing. SolarWinds checks if a node is down, and we can set thresholds for performance metrics. For example, we set it up to get an alert automatically if a value is over 80 percent. It has a full dashboard that covers CP, hard disk, and node monitoring."
"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."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"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."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."
"If they did some type of synthetic monitoring, it would have been better."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"The integration needs to be improved."
"My team has had a lot of issues with support."
"There isn't support available to us as they don't offer support in our country."
"SolarWinds could offer more support and insights for a broader range of devices. Currently, it focuses on routers, switches, and some load balancers. However, it lacks an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring firewalls and some other modern network security devices. We have to customize it a lot."
"It is not that stable. As a Windows software, I have seen issues with SolarWinds. The performance is slow."
"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"
