We performed a comparison between HPE System Management, IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM), and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Microsoft, ServiceNow and others in Server Monitoring."This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"SevOne provides support for all universal connectors. They internally work with other data sources to get features implemented. We have an SD-WAN implementation and use other app data to monitor performance. If you pull that data into one centralized location, that is very useful for management."
"Data Insight reporting tool is the most valuable feature. They came up with it a couple of years ago. The most pleasing factor is the dark theme. You don't have a white background. It has templates that you can create for all kinds of reports that you can hit on the fly. It's much better printing of the reports. If you want to send PDFs to people, the reports are actually decent. Whereas for years, the old architecture of the PDFs was rubbish and even our customers said, "We have to manipulate your PDFs because they all have bad margin breaks. SevOne fixed that a couple of years ago with the new Data Insight. It's fantastic."
"We've had great feedback from our customers about SevOne support. They're willing to set up a remote session upon request. You have to go through three tiers of support with most vendors, and they ask a lot of screening questions before they will do a remote session. You need to spend a lot of time before an engineer will host a remote session to look at your problematic system."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"Another useful feature is that SevOne gives you real-time insights into your network performance. It polls every five minutes. That is important for our customers because there are some network teams that are always monitoring their networks."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"I like the tool’s scalability and real-time reports. Earlier, we struggled to give real-time reports to clients. I also like the tool’s deployment model where we can deploy it either on-premises or in-house. We don’t have to carry the data all over the globe. Also, I am impressed with the tool's flow reporting and Wi-Fi."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system. There are 20 peers. We're going to lose the end-of-life appliances that are old. If we lose a peer and it doesn't come back, we lose all that data. The reason we don't have high availability is because it's double the charge."
"Software upgrades can be tricky is not easy."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"The tool is expensive."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
