Their collaboration was good, and I would rate them nine out of ten.
The customer service and support have been responsive.

Sentiment score
8.5
HPE OneView facilitates infrastructure growth with seamless integration, preferred for scalability and managing large server environments effectively.
It handles large volumes of alerts without limitations.
We manage a large environment with over 50,000 servers and various monitoring tools like Dynatrace, New Relic, Splunk, Nagios, and Datadog.
I rate the scalability of BigPanda at eight.
HPE OneView is highly scalable, especially useful for organizations with large infrastructures.
HPE OneView is a scalable solution since you can integrate any number of servers based on your license.
Scalability is fine as we can add Synergy frames and extend many frames as needed.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
BigPanda is stable with efficient issue resolution, improved reliability, and high ratings, though critical traffic may slow it down.
Sentiment score
6.6
HPE OneView is highly reliable with most versions stable, though minor bugs exist, and timely upgrades enhance performance.
BigPanda is now stable.
I would rate the availability of BigPanda at nine because it's almost 99.99% available.
However, when handling critical traffic, the BigPanda site can slow down, which we manage with a load balancer.
The stability of the blades is concerning; we have frequent issues with blades having memory or power issues.
HPE OneView is a stable solution that works efficiently.
It supports unified monitoring effectively but may have areas for enhancement.
 

Room For Improvement

BigPanda needs better analytics, UI, cost-effectiveness, and AI, with improved observability, integration, and reduced incident costs.
HPE OneView users want better integration, enhanced support, improved management features, user-friendly interface, and reduced licensing costs.
A 'deep dive' analysis feature would be appreciated to give detailed insights such as CPU usage and disk space analysis.
It would be beneficial if BigPanda leveraged AI to solve critical issues related to editing and sending alerts based on enrichment mapping files.
If BigPanda could integrate AI, it would enhance the platform significantly by offering chatbot functionality within the BigPanda UI.
The upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.
I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive.
From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option.
 

Setup Cost

BigPanda offers flexible, affordable pricing at $200,000/year with discounts, perceived as reasonable compared to competitors in event management.
HPE OneView pricing varies significantly, viewed as cost-effective by some yet expensive by others, depending on deployment scale.
The pricing for BigPanda is reasonable compared to other event management tools, given its advantages.
Customers need to pay a substantial amount for the licenses, especially when monitoring a large number of servers and storages.
Our main concern is managing expenses related to the VMware licensing model which affects blade usage.
 

Valuable Features

BigPanda enhances incident management with AI-driven alert deduplication, integration, automation, and user-friendly dashboards, improving workflow efficiency.
HPE OneView streamlines infrastructure management with automation, improving efficiency, deployment speed, and operational visibility for enhanced user experience.
Its automation has significantly improved incident response times, reducing the process to within one minute.
It can correlate multiple issues within a single device, create a single incident, and thus reduce noise and provide faster resolution.
BigPanda improves service reliability with instant resolution, increased uptime, and reduced mean time to resolution, thus enhancing service quality.
I can monitor everything in one view, which has significantly improved operational efficiency for us.
The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent.
One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click.

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.
