Utilize artificial intelligence for faster issue response and seamless ITSM integration
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features. These capabilities help us gather more information and analyze it faster, leading to better responses to issues. The tool is also excellent at integrating with ITSM ( /categories/it-service-management-itsm ) services, providing a seamless alerting system for our customers.
Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It gives good insight into inside of what's going on with Exchange."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"The topology view which provides a visual representation of a service and quickly allows identification of errors or degraded performance."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"What I like about eG Enterprise is that it's easy to use. It's a simple product. You can get up to seventy-five to eighty percent of the required information based on real user experience and diagnostics."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"We can add VLAN and update it."
"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."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
 

Cons

"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"Application TCP latency is an area with room for improvement, but I believe this is already on the roadmap."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"The solution needs to enhance the management dashboards."
"The integration must be improved."
"There should be more price flexibility to adapt to different kinds of customers. For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive."
"In terms of areas for improvement in eG Enterprise, we are now moving most of our services to the OpenShift platform, and we need a way to monitor even containerized services or any service deployed on OpenShift, but that feature is still not available in eG Enterprise, so it's not good enough for us."
"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."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"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."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
"The logs are not proper."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for eG Enterprise is almost $100,000 for one hundred and fifty services. It's subscription-based and the payment is yearly."
"The product is very cheap."
"We paid about 300,000 Saudi Riyal for the solution and it was quite affordable compared to the competition."
"eG Enterprise is much cheaper than the other products it competes with."
"They gave us a good price, when they were found out we were looking at other products because their price was very high. We were looking at another solution, then we came back to them was because they brought the price down. We selected them for three years."
"There are two licensing options: Perpetual and SaaS-based. The main offering, in terms of what eG prefers to offer, is the subscription-based rather than the Perpetual License. The price could be cheaper."
"It'd be nice if the price was lower. That would be an improvement."
"They are aligned with other enterprise solutions."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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."
"​I am happy with the price."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
