Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​""Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards.""Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible.""Provides the strongest support for automation.""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.""Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces.""It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us.""​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."

More HPE OneView Pros →

"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security.""The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use.""The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines.""Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold.""The basic setup is very easy.""The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring.""The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring.""The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."

More Zabbix Pros →

Cons
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms.""Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster.""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.""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.""The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement.""Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on.""HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy.""The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

More HPE OneView Cons →

"They should open an SSH session from the web interface.""For us, the initial setup was complex""The event correlation could be better.""The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working.""It could be more stable.""The user interface could be better.""Zabbix technical support is sold separately.""Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
  • "​Use it. It is free."
  • "​I am happy with the price."
  • "HPE could lower the price."
  • "I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
  • "The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
  • "Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
  • "This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
  • More HPE OneView Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It’s free of cost."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →
