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.

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

"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"For us, it's very key to know the voice quality of the total solution, which is based on many components across many domains."
"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."
"The single-pane-of-glass and a full view of the environment are the most valuable features."
"The product is really stable."
"I like that it is quite easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable, create templates for server profiles, and see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels with SPP packaging."
"So, for us, just the simplicity of being able to manage everything within that single pane of glass has been just huge for us."
"Places all of your different HPE products in one place, all in the circles where you can just get everything into nice, easy-to-use silos pretty easily."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"The improvement was basically to be more efficient and have a lot of productivity, as we are more developed to creation rather than just solving problems."
 

Cons

"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"I would like OneView to support VMware."
"The technical support is terrible. They don't know what to do if you have an error; they cannot solve it."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The older platform requires iLO licenses but does not require the purchase of servers. This platform has problems because it is dependent on old class enclosures and hardware that cannot link or be managed with the solution."
"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."
"To be honest, we've been having some issues with the stability of the product."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"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."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"​I am happy with the price."
"HPE could lower the price."
