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."We lose less time managing the machines."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"The interface in the last few years it has been a lot greater, they are much more user-friendly. I like the interface."
"The user interface is good enough."
"The installation and configuration process are easy."
"We no longer have to manually search for problems because we are alerted when something in the network goes down."
"This is a good, stable network monitoring solution for devices."
"It is easy to access and discover devices, as well as monitor them automatically. The topology discover is also a useful feature."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"NetFlow monitoring, real-time monitoring, and surveys have been the most valuable features for our business."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"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."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."
"One of the biggest things that made us start to look at another product is we're not able to have an end to end monitoring from a user perspective throughout the system and back to the user. All the monitoring is from inside out, we need something that also can give us from outside in."
"Integrations with other devices. I want to have a product that has full integration with my active directory so I can track user activity. I want to track my complete user activity, so I'm looking for a product to implement in the near future, which will have full integration with my network and active directory users. It became very difficult to track user activity."
"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices."
"I would like to see better integration with switches so that you can see what is connected to each port, what the traffic is, and have a network map automatically generated."
"The interface needs some work."
"We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."
"The pricing for this solution has gone up quite recently, which has led some of our customers to buy an alternative product."
