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.

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

"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."

"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."

"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."

"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."

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

"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."

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"We cannot function without this solution. "

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."

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

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

"I think the remediation could have been better."

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

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

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

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

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."

"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."

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

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."

"From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option."

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

"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."

More HPE OneView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"I am happy with the price."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."
