Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."
"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
 

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"The logs are not proper."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"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."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"​I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"HPE could lower the price."
"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."
"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 feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"​I am happy with the price."
"​Use it. It is free."
