HP OpenView (Discontinued) vs. SolarWinds Web Performance Monitor (WPM)

HP Openview really helped us when we migrated our old SAP Data from IBM Platform to OpenText.

Incentivized

Web performance monitor is well suited if you are looking for extremely granular view into your web applications. This application allows you to go as deep as you want in testing your web application and provides history and screen shots of the sites that it monitors. It also allows for alerting based on certain thresholds of latency or failure categories.

• SAP Batch Job monitoring.
• File Systems
• Database Montioring

• Since WPM builds on Orion its alerting capabilities are very good. We've always been able to generate alerts parameters to meet user needs.
• WPM's web app monitoring capabilities were exactly what we needed. We've been able to write detailed transactions to monitor very specific app functions.

Incentivized

• Monitoring interface should be more user friendly.

Incentivized

• The creation of tests can take some time as you are recording actions taken on web sites.
• Ability to edit already created tests typically results in deleting steps and recreating
• Require to create multiple iterations of similar tests in order to test individual app servers behind a load balancer

Solarwinds support is top-notch, and while we rarely have to call them, they are always very helpful when we do.

At the time we purchased WPM we were not aware of alternatives and therefore did not compare them.

• We can be proactive in addressing down sites or slow links. Not easily measured with ROI but keeps our users happy.
• We can use historical access and performance data to justify (or not) using on-premise vs cloud services.
