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.

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

"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."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"The initial setup is easy."
"The automation allows a complete implementation of a server with an operating system from start to finish by providing playbooks using the Rest API, and codes, from Ansible and using them towards the solution."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"HPE provides the strongest support for automation which is very important in the cloud environment."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It saves us a lot of time; time is money, and we mess around with servers all day, so it's a huge time saver."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"I hate to say, not a lot. It's encouraging to see a couple of features in version 4 that we think ought to have been there from the start."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"It needs to support more types of equipment. Some types of equipment we have are not supported with OneView, so we cannot monitor those on OneView."
"I would like to see a change in the GUI, so that you can navigate easier."
"Sometimes it gets slow, so it doesn’t always perform well."
"​We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."
"Stability is a hit and miss."
"I'd like to know where the product is going, whether it's converging with another, whether they're going to shut it down, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"​I am happy with the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"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 think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
