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."Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"It's a very good tool and a very stable tool."
"Reporting tools are a great feature along with the ability to create customized reports for you"
"I like SolarWinds support because it's 24/7. You describe your issues, your situation and maybe two or three hours later you can discuss a solution with a technical engineer."
"The biggest thing for me is that it provided enough information for me to monitor. It alerts and provides you with the information you need."
"The product is lightweight in terms of memory use, requiring only 10 megabytes or less."
"The solution is easy to install and it takes a couple of hours."
"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."
"Provides a good level of tools and covers essential components."
"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."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"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."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"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 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."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"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."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"I would like to see some enhancement on the reporting side, such as making it a little bit easier to create reports or having a larger assortment of canned reports."
"This product could improve by adding cloud monitoring. I want SolarWinds NPM to do much more integration, and have more involvement in cloud monitoring, like AWS or Google, or Azure. I feel like it requires lots of improvement for cloud monitoring in NPM."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"The only real caveat that we have or that I have an issue with is when I go on vacation, it's a little hard for me to go and modify alerts so that I don't get alerted about things when I'm on vacation."
