We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and Nagios Core 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 stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."
"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."
"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."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"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."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
"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."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
