We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and Nagios XI 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."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."
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"You want to monitor a specific metric that nobody else has? You can do it even with the most basic of scripting skills, and you can always share it with the vast community of Nagios Exchange."
"Nagios is a custom API manager, and we can expose custom APIs for our integration. This is a great feature."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"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 had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"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."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"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 would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"I would like to see support for notification via SMS."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The product's stability could be even better."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
