We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and Nagios XI 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."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."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"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 most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"The most valuable feature of Nagios XI is customization. We can customize based on our requirements. We can do modifications and implement a lot of scripts. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The dashboard allows you to see what's going on in the overall system."
"The Script Module in Nagios is really easy to use and is really cost efficient."
"It is an open-source platform with valuable features for performance and stability."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"Nagios allows us to configure any device so that we can send pager alerts when people don't have access to emails. It also allows us to schedule downtime and maintenance."
"Nagios XI helps us monitor the bandwidth of the internet connection, HTTP, DNS, active directory services, and exchange data availability. We have multiple servers to monitor databases, availability of servers, and ping."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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."
"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."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"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."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The product uses the backend as Perl and could be modified to a more lightweight solution like what's being offered by other vendors."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"It can be quite difficult to know which drivers and agents to use when setting up."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"The scalability of Nagios XI is scalable. However, it is not easy to do."
