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."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."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"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."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."
"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 application performance monitoring feature is valuable."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"The solution is quite efficient."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"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."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"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."
"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."
"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"It is a bit slow due to latency."
"The core version is no match for the XI version."
