Meets the needs of the customer but all of the features need improvement
I do not choose the solution. The client does. I am an implementer. We are systems integrators. It is worth mentioning that the solution should be easy to install and offer the user exhibition capabilities. Also, a data sheet should be used to gather information about the product, to facilitate easy and simple implementation. I rate CA Unified Communications Monitor as a five out of ten.

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

"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"For us, it's very key to know the voice quality of the total solution, which is based on many components across many domains."
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"I definitely recommend OneView; if you are an HPE shop, it's the way of the future."
"I think ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"Managing everything from one screen, so we do not have to open another screen for every machine, saves a lot of time for us."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"First, that it’s simple; it saves me time and is easy to use, releases stress for me, and since I’m working with federal law, I really need to make sure that all of my customers and their data are protected properly."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
 

Cons

"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"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."
"There are still some limitations in OneView, as it manages only the hardware and not the applications."
"With every new version, new devices are supported in OneView, but we are still missing support for some HPE products."
"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."
"The technical support is terrible. They don't know what to do if you have an error; they cannot solve it."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"HPE could lower the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
