Good end-to-end voice quality monitoring and offers valuable features

The solution should have automatic baseline detection. On the per hour, per base, per week. That's usually the best. And on a per individual CI level. I know that they're working on it and when that's available then we will definitely implement it because it will reduce the effort we need to maintain all the products. Right now we have to set thresholds for every location, and it needs to be actually dynamic so if we have better thresholding, we'll have faster alarms across all our locations. We won't have to expend effort on it by resetting or checking them on a regular basis.

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

"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."

"Good end-to-end monitoring"

"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."

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."

"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."

"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."

"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"HPE could lower the price."

"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."

"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."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"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 am happy with the price."
