Has proactive monitoring with predictive insights and a user-friendly interface

Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually. It provides a status with traffic light colors, where red indicates danger, yellow means attention is needed, and green represents normal conditions to easily understand the health of the environment. The quick overview aids in decision-making. Additionally, CloudIQ's predictive capabilities, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence, have improved operational efficiency by providing proactive information to prevent issues before they arise.

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.

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."

More HPE OneView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."

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

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

"Use it. It is free."

"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 am happy with 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 would rate the cost as six out of ten."
