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 solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"We cannot function without this solution. "
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"Though I downplayed the administrative NCC GUI, this is by far the strongest aspect of the Nagios XI product."
"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."
"Nagios XI is a simple monitoring tool with performance management."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."
"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."
"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."
"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."
"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 product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
