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 cannot function without this solution. "
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"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."
"The solution has a lot of plugins and scripts integrated with it."
"It's a monitoring agent. It's designed to do one thing. Its most valuable feature is its monitoring."
"It's great for monitoring IT services infrastructure."
"Nagios XI is stable."
"The installation is no problem. I've installed Nagios several times."
"Since this is an open source technology, if we are capable of writing the plugins in any scripting language, this product allows us to monitor anything we want."
"BPI: It allows defining peripherals to map business criticality for efficient monitoring, as required."
"The most useful aspect of this solution is the ability to customize it for the client agent."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The product does not have SAP monitoring."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"The product could be optimized to improve the administrative user experience via the Nagios Core Configuration (NCC) GUI module."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The pricing has recently risen. I know they've changed what is covered under the license, however, it doesn't change the way we use it and adds nothing to our experience, and yet we now have to pay more."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"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."
