We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and Zabbix 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 initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"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."
"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"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."
"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."
"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
