We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and Zabbix 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 most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"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."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"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."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"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."
"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."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"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."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"It could be more stable."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
