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."It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."
"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."
"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."
"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."
"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."
"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."
"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."
"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."
"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 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."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"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."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"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."
"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."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."
"I would like to see more training videos."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"It would be nice if the company offered a sales or contract manager that was dedicated to our company so that we would have some sort of link to Nagios, and if we had issues or questions, we'd be able to contact them directly."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
