A tool with an easy initial setup phase that ensures its users benefit in the form of a return on investment
I use HPE OneView HPE OneView to manage Synergy Switches in my company With HPE OneView, you can monitor a number of servers multiple times to see if they are stable. The most valuable feature of the solution is the visibility it provides when one adds any other servers externally to it. The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"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."
"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 get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
More HPE OneView pros
"The solution is quite efficient."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."
"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
More Nagios Core pros
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
More HPE OneView cons
"The mapping is a little hard."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."
"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 initial setup process could be easier."
"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."
More Nagios Core cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I am happy with the price."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"HPE could lower the price."
More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice
"We are using the free version of Nagios Core."
"We are using the free version."
"The enterprise version has technical support. The version we are using is free."
"The Nagios Core (PNP4Nagios + Core) is free and can be setup by Netadmin within a few hours. The only additional cost is the cloud server."
"We are using the open-source, unpaid version."
"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."
"Nagios Core is an open source solution, and there are no licensing fees."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
