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."Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"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."
"Accessibility, ease of use (Web GUI, MobileApps). In general, compared with other software"
"The installation is not that complex."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is real-time monitoring."
"Good compilation of the system's information."
"The most valuable feature is the notifications. As long as you spend time and think about what and when you want to be notified, it's always accurate. It is always there. I find things out before my Internet provider."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"What I've found most valuable is the custom sensor, which allows you to write scripts or code to monitor a specific metric in your environment."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"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."
"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 interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"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."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"I am not sure the solution is giving me all the needed feedback that we need. When something goes off on our IT infrastructure, it does tell me. However, it would be nice if it gave more intuitive information, e.g., the hard drive has gone up by 60 percent in an hour."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"I wouldn't mind better categories for the sensors. When I go to add a new sensor for a new device, there are some categories in there already, and they can be filtered out, but there's quite a large pool of sensors... When I want to go in and find something quite specific, I have got to scroll down and scroll down to find what I'm actually looking for,"
"I would like a more straightforward ability to create dashboards and maps. The network maps should be a bit more flexibility in the GUI to do what we need to do."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve by adding prevention and detection features."
"We would like more cloud native sensors for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. A lot of businesses are moving in that direction, so having something where we can pull performance stats out of these cloud services would be great for us."
"We run it in a cluster, so we have two that run together. The cluster behind it is sketchy at times."
"Technical support is an area with concerns in PRTG Network Monitor, where improvements are required."
