Useful automation capabilities, scales well, and simple implementation
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. Looking ahead to future releases, I would like to see more advanced automation features. As a long-term goal, I am considering the possibility of automating SAP system upgrades. While this would not be an easy feat, advancements in technology may make it feasible in the future. Overall, a key feature I hope to see in future releases is increased automation capabilities.

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

"It's just very user-friendly, and it's very easy to monitor the servers using Avantra."
"Deployment was amazingly short and simple; I do not think I have seen any SAP-related product installs ready to work so fast, and out-of-box it included most of the functions and settings that we needed."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"It prevented two major failures in our SAP production systems."
"I definitely recommend this solution, it provides good value for money."
"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."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"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."
"So far, it's been rock-solid."
"If you have HPE compute in place today, you should definitely look at using OneView."
"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."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"Its ease of use and that it is a single-pane-of-glass are the most valuable features."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"We are very glad, happy with it."
 

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.

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."
"A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values."
"The dashboard needs to improve; it's not so clear right now and we need it to be more usable so we can have all of our reports in one easy-to-access place."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"I think they can improve their UI, while very intuitive, I would like to see graphic updates."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"There is a lot of automated stuff in there, but we'd like to step into the middle of that and bring in our own different tools as a part of that integration."
"It tends to detect flood conditions on a lot of the networks."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"In OneView, we only have the web interface to check the switch. It lacks flexibility."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"To be honest, we've been having some issues with the stability of the product."
"The setup was very complex, but it wasn't always complex."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the cost as six 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."
"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 could lower the price."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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."
