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."The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"We cannot function without this solution. "
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Stable solution for monitoring networks and bandwidth, with multiple functions and features such as NetFlow Collector, graphical monitoring, etc."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"Ease of set-up – it is quick and easy to add a probe and start collecting data from a device."
"PRTG is relatively intuitive and fairly straightforward. It has net flow monitoring and that works all right. I would describe it as a decent middle-of-the-road solution."
"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."
"PRTG is integrated on Windows."
"The product is simple and easy to implement."
"The sensors and probes are great, nice and lightweight, they don't take up too many resources on the system. We just deploy them out and they start reporting instantly."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."
"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."
"They should work on syncing the solution with Gmail."
"PRTG would be improved if it required less memory to run."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
"The licensing policy needs more flexibility."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"We have had a few issues with the web elements, as far as the dashboard. With the dashboard, it has to be manually refreshed. Occasionally, we reboot the server, or at least web services, due to the web aspect."
"PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management."
"If PRTG could help me see the bandwidth for each host I have on my network, either for a wireless or a wired network, that would be very helpful."
