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."By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"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."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"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."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"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."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"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."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
"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."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."
"The mapping is a little hard."
