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."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."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The features I've found the most useful are the plug-ins, the fact that you can connect almost everything to it. That's very useful."
"An excellent solution that is easy and intuitive to implement."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of processes."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"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 had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"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."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The PNP4Nagios plugin not working easily with XI is an issue for me, because some open source monitoring plugins do not work out of the box. But in the end, you learn to live with it."
