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."OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"We cannot function without this solution. "
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"Nagios is stable and it's easy to use the monitoring software, which is why we chose this product."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"This is a very good solution and it is simple to use, for any company."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"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."
"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."
"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"Nagios XI can improve network and hardware monitoring, these parameters should be simplified to allow usage for monitoring. Additionally, if there was automatic reporting it would be helpful."
"Improve the documentation, examples, and best practices, therefore users can understand how to do things."
"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."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
