We performed a comparison between HPE OneView and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"We cannot function without this solution. "
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."
"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
