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.

Pros

"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

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

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"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."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."

"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."

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

"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"The logs are not proper."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

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

"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."

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

"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."

"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

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."

"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."

"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 am happy with the price."

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

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

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

"HPE could lower the price."
