User-friendly, simple to set up and easy to configure
The dashboard needs to improve. It's not so clear right now. We need it to be more usable. We want all of our reports in one easy-to-access place. Sometimes we get stuck and have to rest the gateway. After we do that, it'll start working again. We're still new to the product and we're not using every aspect of it.
Kapil Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"You can customize alerts based on need."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
 

Cons

"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"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."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"​I am happy with the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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."
