Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation.""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.""Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible.""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.""​We cannot function without this solution. ​""It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us.""We lose less time managing the machines.""Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."

"Provides timely notifications.""The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want.""The solution is quite efficient.""I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring.""The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner.""I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them.""What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services.""Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."

Cons
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster.""The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface.""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.""​I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one.""Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on.""​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions.""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 had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

More HPE OneView Cons →

"I would like to see more training videos.""The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic.""Making it a little easier to configure and set up from the start would help. There are multiple layers that you have to wade through to be able to set it up, to do it the right way, and to get it to do what you want it to do.""It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through.""I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network.""The initial setup process could be easier.""Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does.""The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
