Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Real-time dashboards have improved our deployment monitoring and incident response
We are using Opsview ourselves, rather than being a consultant or a reseller. We do not use its auto-discovery feature. We do not utilize its API driven architecture. I do not know what metrics we use to assess the effectiveness of Opsview's hybrid IT monitoring. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Opsview as it is good for what it does. I do not know if Grafana has any other advantages besides better stats, as I am not involved in that side. Based on my experience, I would still recommend Opsview to others as it is good for what it does. I gave this review a rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The dashboards are the real value add for this product in my opinion and enhance customer experience if done properly."
"The multi-tenancy that's available through this is one of the most valuable things."
"Opsview, though not the least expensive Nagios-based commercial monitoring product offers excellent value for performance which rivals expensive commercial products from the major IT vendors; it is well worth the money paid for it."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"Over the past three years, we've grown by about 200%, and the system has been able to manage that growth."
"As a busy sysadmin that wears many hats, it is a relief to deal with this product and the Opsview staff."
"The system is very robust and very rarely breaks."
 

Cons

"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"Good system management is costly."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"The graphing feature needs work, although it has been rewritten in release 5.0 and we have yet to deploy it."
"In Opsview 4.6.3, there is no provision for making bulk changes to monitored servers via the GUI, though it is possible to custom-script bulk changes via the API."
"It's probably the priciest option of all its main competitors."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"We are starting to hit the limits of how we can scale out."
"I wish they'd update the iOS app, which, I think, is the same version I used back in 2012 or so."
"We're already evaluating v5.0 and to tell the truth, there's a couple of things that we found really useful in previous versions that for some reason they have removed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is fair."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The solution is not cheap. I think that the pricing is a little bit on the high side."
"The solution is priced similarly to other tools offering similar features."
"I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price."
