Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.

Gaining seamless monitoring and customization capabilities
One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click. The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios. The features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers. There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Offers a diversity of features."
"My overall conclusion is that it is a valuable product for simulating Citrix logons because it does it with minimal effort and with a real user account."
"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"I like that the solution offers a diversity of things; it can give you resource monitoring, it can be integrated to detect an application crash, to capture syslog, things like that, and I like the diversity of the dashboard."
"I think Goliath offers a very good tool to do simulated Citrix logons with actual user accounts and that the reports are useful to monitor and debug a session."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"There was no other solution prior to this one, and we felt that we needed OneView because it could do more in less time and in an easier way."
"The single-pane-of-glass and a full view of the environment are the most valuable features."
"With OneView, an expandable and programmable solution from HP, the door opens for partnerships in the healthcare IT field and HIPAA compliance."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"Places all of your different HPE products in one place, all in the circles where you can just get everything into nice, easy-to-use silos pretty easily."
"First, that it’s simple; it saves me time and is easy to use, releases stress for me, and since I’m working with federal law, I really need to make sure that all of my customers and their data are protected properly."
"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."
 

Cons

"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"Our first experience with the technical support was with one of the other products that is associated with OneView, which is ICSP, and the support was pretty poor."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"Their technical support can also be improved."
"There is a lot of automated stuff in there, but we'd like to step into the middle of that and bring in our own different tools as a part of that integration."
"I would like to see a change in the GUI, so that you can navigate easier."
"The older platform requires iLO licenses but does not require the purchase of servers. This platform has problems because it is dependent on old class enclosures and hardware that cannot link or be managed with the solution."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"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."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"​Use it. It is free."
"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."
"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 think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
