Haseeb Sheikh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager Enterprise Solutions at a media company with 201-500 employees
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.
SA
Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
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

"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."
"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 tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."
"The mobile application is the most valuable feature for us; we can monitor all the storages on our phones, and it's really good."
"Our company uses the solution for forecasting capacity and performance via cloud visualization that is maintained by Dell."
"This solution would be very helpful for anybody that is solely using Dell equipment."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"Places all of your different HPE products in one place, all in the circles where you can just get everything into nice, easy-to-use silos pretty easily."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"The main benefits are a single pane of glass, usability between the servers, storage, and network."
"We chose HPE because of the holistic solution."
"In 3.0, HPE has done a better job with firmware updates, added more features, and also enabled the possibility to stage updates on the iLO card."
"Scalability is perfect; if I need to, I can add another couple blades or I can add more to it, and I still have about half my 3PAR nodes open so I can keep adding storage as I need it."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
 

Cons

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."
"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."
"I think the remediation could have been better."
"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."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"CloudIQ 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."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"With every new version, new devices are supported in OneView, but we are still missing support for some HPE products."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"I would like to see a change in the GUI, so that you can navigate easier."
"I would like OneView to support VMware."
"I hate to say, not a lot. It's encouraging to see a couple of features in version 4 that we think ought to have been there from the start."
"I found the technical support for the solution to be slow."
"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."
 

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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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 would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"HPE could lower the price."
"​I am happy with the price."
