Proactive monitoring has improved availability and capacity reporting for my infrastructure
The current features including availability, performance, and capacity are good enough, and I think more of better alerting along with improved thresholds of alerts should be implemented. It is helpful, but it should also include the capability to detect zero-day attacks if there are any. I think the remediation could have been better. For example, if I am upgrading my firmware or BIOS or firmware of the infrastructure, it should give me exact CVSS scores and remediation data provided against the CVSS scores. I think the Dell CloudIQ app could be more interactive. If there is a possibility that I can open tickets or SRs via the Dell CloudIQ app, that would be a good feature.

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.

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."
"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."
"Our company uses the solution for forecasting capacity and performance via cloud visualization that is maintained by Dell."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"This solution would be very helpful for anybody that is solely using Dell equipment."
"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."
"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."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"There was no other solution prior to this one, and we felt that we needed OneView because it could do more in less time and in an easier way."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It has improved the working of our organization by providing more consistency within our firmware, drivers, firmware baseline and server profiling; thus it provides more consistency."
"I definitely recommend OneView; if you are an HPE shop, it's the way of the future."
"The deployment was easy, it has many features, and it is a great solution that is easy to use while providing a good inventory of your hardware and firmware."
"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."
"OneView is a nice choice: It is visually appealing, easy to use, easy for managing servers going forward, and easy for building servers at a profile level, versus going in traditionally and configuring all that stuff, because it can automate all that stuff."
 

Cons

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."
"I think the remediation could have been better."
"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."
"From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option."
"Stability is a hit and miss."
"I would love the ability to either import a range of IPs for the ILO, or be able to do a scan."
"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."
"The system currently has 75,000 alerts that are either being acknowledged or some are active, and there's not a simple way of selecting a whole filtered list and then closing them off and deleting them."
"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."
"The setup was very complex, but it wasn't always complex."
"The possibility to do more analytics regarding the status of the assets."
 

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 feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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 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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"​Use it. It is free."
