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.

Gaining seamless monitoring and customization capabilities
One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click. The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios. The features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers. There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"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."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of installation and use help you to come up with a turnkey solution as quickly as possible."
"The improvement was basically to be more efficient and have a lot of productivity, as we are more developed to creation rather than just solving problems."
"It enables you to view the entire infrastructure, and if you have blades, storage, or any HPE environment, it enables you to manage it in a single pane, and it is easy to manage."
"It has improved the working of our organization by providing more consistency within our firmware, drivers, firmware baseline and server profiling; thus it provides more consistency."
"OneView is a single pane of glass, getting everything managed and structured for us and bringing all our tools together with templates that give us speed to delivery and make a big difference."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"If you have HPE compute in place today, you should definitely look at using OneView."
"I like the ability that we can manage multiple enclosures within OneView; it's like one stop shopping where you can manage all the server profiles and do everything from a blade enclosure standpoint using OneView."
 

Cons

"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"I know we tend to have issues with our server profiles. When we're changing server profiles and applying them we run into some red flags occasionally."
"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."
"If I remember correctly, our CTO was saying that he wants to see a little bit more of integration into the HPE StoreVirtual VSA product."
"I don’t like HP support very much, as they tend to transfer me to random places that don’t help me very much."
"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."
"We are just now starting to bring it up, it has taken us around eight weeks and we haven't still been successful to bring it up."
"I would love the ability to either import a range of IPs for the ILO, or be able to do a scan."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"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."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
