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.

I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

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."

"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."

"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."

"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."

"We cannot function without this solution. "

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"The initial setup is easy."

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

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

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."

"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"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."

"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."

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

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"Use it. It is free."

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

"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."

"HPE could lower the price."

"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 think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"I am happy with the price."
