Senior Systems Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 201-500 employees
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.

Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups
My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"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 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."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"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."
"Go ahead and do it. It gives you that one-pane-of-glass and makes life a lot easier than trying to go into each server and seeing what's going on."
"Once setup, then it is more or less, forget about it; it just works away in the background."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"The stability is very good, and I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"The main benefits are a single pane of glass, usability between the servers, storage, and network."
"OneView allowed us to accelerate the base configuration far faster and more accurately than ever before with manual configuration procedures."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"Although the product is meant only for HPE, it would be great if they were to incorporate functionality from non-HPE components."
"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 don’t like HP support very much, as they tend to transfer me to random places that don’t help me very much."
"In OneView, we only have the web interface to check the switch. It lacks flexibility."
"When the tool set first launched, the HPE support organization had some challenges."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"​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."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
