Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

DX Unified Infrastructure Management and HPE OneView are two competitors in the infrastructure management software category. Based on the comparison, DX Unified Infrastructure Management has the upper hand in comprehensive monitoring capabilities, while HPE OneView stands out in server infrastructure management focused on HPE environments.

Features: DX Unified Infrastructure Management provides extensive scalability with its robust probe architecture, supporting networks, servers, databases, and applications. It offers efficient integration of monitoring into one platform and a strong SDK for custom scenarios. Conversely, HPE OneView enables centralized management and monitoring for HPE hardware environments, especially excelling in server infrastructure management and automation capabilities.

Room for Improvement: DX Unified Infrastructure Management could enhance customer support and improve its VMware monitoring capabilities, with users noting slow probe development and complex reporting as issues.

Senior Systems Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO

I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."

"Technical support is great."

"Great out-of-the-box capability."

"DX UIM is scalable."

"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."

"I would recommend DX Unified Infrastructure Management to others as it is a good and reliable solution."

"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."

"DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

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

"We cannot function without this solution. "

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

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."

"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."

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

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."

"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."

"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."

"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."

"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."

"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."

"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."

"The dashboards need to be improved."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management cons

"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

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

"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."

"The logs are not proper."

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

"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."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."

More HPE OneView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

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

"Use it. It is free."

"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."

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

"I would rate the cost as six 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."

"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."
