Senior Systems Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 201-500 employees
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.

Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups
My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"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."
"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 like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"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."
"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The stability is very good, and I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"It saves us a lot of time; time is money, and we mess around with servers all day, so it's a huge time saver."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"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."
"Overall, OneView is a fantastic replacement for Virtual Connect Manager and it's a fantastic replacement for Insight Manager."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
 

Cons

"The setup is a bit complex."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"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."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"There is room for improvement, especially with the speed of things."
"We have different operations teams managing the servers. It should be segregated more in terms of which operation team is managing which group of servers."
"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."
"When the tool set first launched, the HPE support organization had some challenges."
"We have experienced a lot of downtime on it. We have used this product from the first version up until what is available right now and have noticed that a lot of the functions have stopped working suddenly with no reason."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"It is sometimes limited between what we see and in the next version that there will be in the global dashboard, and it will help us to get a global overview."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
