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."
"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"Technical support has always been great. They are very responsive. We've been satisfied with their level of support."
"You can monitor performance counters effortlessly."
"SolarWinds NPM has a colorful UI and many easy-to-use features. It does not need to be configured as much and is also easy to install."
"The people in technical support are very good."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of SolarWinds NPM is the performance monitoring to see the memory, and CPU utilization."
"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 product is scalable."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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 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."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"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 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."
"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."
"They have had a rather large security breach in the past. It's cost some companies customers."
"The dashboard of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The scalability can be better."
"Having more technical and support resources available in Saudi Arabia would be helpful."
"I would like to have a Syslog server module for this product. That would make the solution better."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
