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."We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"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."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"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."
"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"I can monitor a phone on a desk to very big servers of any company."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"Nagios XI helped me to draw the network and check for system failures."
"I can monitor a software made in-house to software of bigger companies."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where I can have a single screen that provides a summary for hundreds of servers."
"The most valuable features of Nagios XI are you can customize it based on your use case and requirements. It is flexible and easy to integrate with our systems. You can customize the solution by adding additional features using code."
"The ability to set up templates and groups of checks, as well as customize the checks themselves."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"The reporting structure could be more streamlined."
"They need more documentation for the plugins."
"The installation and monitoring need improvement."
"It is really difficult to integrate Nagios XI with another system to generate logs and alert our management of failures in security infrastructure."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."
"The way Nagios displays information isn't easy for a new user to understand. It's not intuitive enough. You need to read some tutorials or be trained to understand what it's displaying. Also, I think it needs more features to improve network visibility because there are some things you can't detect."
"The product's stability could be even better."
