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. HPE OneView faces integration challenges with non-HPE hardware and needs improvements in performance speed. Users also seek better storage and firmware management and technical support improvements, wanting better software support approaches.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers deployment flexibility across hybrid cloud, on-premises, and public cloud infrastructures, although technical support has been inconsistent. HPE OneView focuses on on-premises deployment with hybrid cloud flexibility, generally receiving positive feedback for customer service with some need for technical support enhancement.
Pricing and ROI: DX Unified Infrastructure Management is considered a premium enterprise solution with pricing based on probes and devices, offering strong ROI through its comprehensive capabilities. HPE OneView offers competitive pricing with no license fee, though costs arise from additional warranties and support, recognized as cost-effective for managing HPE environments.
Improving direct support for end customers, similar to Microsoft’s model, would be beneficial.
The customer service and support have been responsive.
The technical support for HPE OneView rates as an 8 on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best.
I would give the quality of HPE OneView's technical support an eight out of ten rating, indicating good customer service and support in my opinion.
The solution helps with capacity management, enabling us to determine when we need to scale up the network.
HPE OneView is a scalable solution since you can integrate any number of servers based on your license.
HPE OneView is highly scalable, especially useful for organizations with large infrastructures.
Scalability is fine as we can add Synergy frames and extend many frames as needed.
The stability of the blades is concerning; we have frequent issues with blades having memory or power issues.
HPE OneView is a stable solution that works efficiently.
It supports unified monitoring effectively but may have areas for enhancement.
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial.
The upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.
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.
The pricing of DX Unified Infrastructure Management is high and often a concern for customers.
Our main concern is managing expenses related to the VMware licensing model which affects blade usage.
Customers need to pay a substantial amount for the licenses, especially when monitoring a large number of servers and storages.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management offers visibility into network activities, integration capacity, and enhances monitoring at the core and application levels.
I can monitor everything in one view, which has significantly improved operational efficiency for us.
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.
This approach makes the upgrade process straightforward and efficient.
DX Unified Infrastructure Management is the only solution that provides an open architecture, full-stack observability and zero-touch configuration for monitoring traditional data center, public cloud, and hybrid infrastructure environments.
