We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (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 us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"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."
"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."
"Scalability. I have never had to worry about how to handle really big environments."
"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the NMS because that's the core of the system. Without the NMS, the other tools aren't that usable."
"One of the solution's biggest strengths is its capacity management performance, with out-of-the-box reports through NMS, as well as its ability to collect NetFlow-related data from devices. The collection of network performance and flow data is important because we have many critical business applications."
"With this tool it is interesting to show the info to the client and explain where the traffic is."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"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."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"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 solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"Some similar solutions offer end-to-end visibility."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"The reports are easy to configure but they are a bit outdated in terms of appearance and visualization."
"We need to be thinking about streaming telemetry protocols. They already have the port for enhanced visualization, which they already have through Data Insight."
