Gets the right parties to the table at the right time - our mean time to restore has diminished, saving us money
In recent weeks we've been talking to Everbridge about leveraging some new functionality that they're demploying right now around orchestration. Imagine a full, closed-loop event remediation: auto-remediation. A server throws an alert. We catch it in our monitoring tool. We page or SMS text, using Everbridge IT Alerting. A group member receives that text and responds to the text with "Option One." Option one can say, "I want to go ahead and execute an orchestration that will automatically stop and restart the services on that box or even reboot the box." That would, again, further reduce service restoration time, and significantly reducing the manual engagement of logging a ticket, logging onto the box, restarting the box or the servers or services manually. All of that can be done through automation. We're not there yet, but that's what we're talking about right now, as a part of our next wave of moving along the crawl, walk, run journey. In terms of what could be improved, almost always, there is something that could be improved. I've been in this industry long enough to know that there is no perfect system. All the good ones still offer opportunities for getting better. I think if you were to look from their point of view, they would also see themselves in a crawl, walk, run journey. They may be further along in their walk, but they're probably not in the "Olympic sprint" or "Olympic marathon" stage yet. They've got lots of potential, room for feature enhancements, improvements. A couple of key ones might include - and I think they are working towards these things - analytics. If I want to do sophisticated reporting and analysis of the data that's being captured in IT Alerting, at the moment, the reporting interface is immature. They're very helpful. They get it. They're listening to us, but it's weak. It's growing. It's getting better. Reporting and analytics would be one space. Their integration capabilities are still progressing, but not quite where we'd like to see them yet. They're moving there with that orchestration capability where they're seeing the potential of an API-first mentality. So instead of trying to build custom connections into everything, you open up APIs to allow other systems to talk to IT Alerting and allow IT Alerting to talk to other systems. There is room for improvement, but they get it. They're listening in that space, too. Sure, there are things they can be doing better, but in partnership with them, us among other customers, I think we've got their ear, and they're being very proactive about listening.

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

"The email integration, the ability to launch from other programs using email triggers, was the primary reason we got the solution and it's been really helpful"
"The most valuable feature is automated escalation, as it eliminates a manual process which is prone to errors."
"The most important feature, from our perspective, is the integration with our ticketing system. That eliminates wasted motion and time in drafting and sending and finding the right distribution list."
"I manage the platform, and I don't really use it. The scheduling aspect of it is valuable where you create your groups and then either manually or via API call, you can initiate an alert. It'll look at the schedule and only contact those people who are on-call. So, it takes the guesswork out."
"Valuable features include having the Calendar built in. That allows for on-call rotation to be set once and left alone. Also, Slack Integration enables us to have all the information from an incident and discussions documented through Slack, without input."
"A robust solution with multiple modules that can be leveraged."
"The system has a lot of great features and they keep adding to it."
"Even in the first few months, we realized some of those benefits around shortening the time to resolution."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"We can add VLAN and update it."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
 

Cons

"The incident templates can get complex and hard to troubleshoot, so it helps to focus on keeping it simple."
"The ability for members to change their schedules, and change the person their swapping with, could use improvement. The GUI is a little tough to navigate. It's not very straightforward when someone is trying to change schedules."
"With their templates, you can only have a maximum of three phases: new, updated, and resolved. It's not always that easy when we open up a call, that we identify who we need, page out, and we're good. A lot of time it requires multiple page-outs. Being restricted to those three phases, there's no way to say, "I want this variable to be persistent, and this one to not be." ...I would like to see a bit more flexibility and tighter control over the templates and the variables you can create."
"I've worked closely with Everbridge teams in my previous positions too, and the one thing I would like to see is the distance. You have to measure it, and it's not really accurate. If we could have a general distance within the alert itself to tell us where the closest asset is, it would be useful. That's one thing I'd like to see."
"It could use more enhancement type integrations, but no improvements to functionality are needed."
"The company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"The ability to not have to worry about the IT alerting and calendar resources. I would like it to be simpler in the sense of a different cost structure."
"I would like them to add GPS going forward."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"​We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a seven out of ten for us in terms of pricing. We've just gone through a process of looking at other solutions."
"They are one of the top three most expensive products. I also understand if you are going to use them for IT alerting, it is worth it. They are competitively priced, but the IT alerting is the differentiator. The way that they market it and push it out. That is their premier function."
"As far as I'm aware, there are no costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"This product has helped us save $200,000 from being able to get rid of vendors and consolidate functionalities to doing incident reporting."
"The current pricing model is adequate. We feel that the pricing model for our IT Alerting solution is competitive with similar solutions on the market."
"The pricing was under $25 a month per user. We had about 1,000 defined users."
"Licensing cost is driven largely by the number of users in the platform including admins, group managers, and message senders, so you want to consider your needs there."
"I do not know about the licensing costs, but I know they're in groups, and there are permission caps. For example, you can have five admin accounts, and anyone can receive a notification. There's a mobile component too, which I find particularly useful, but it has to be a part of the contract."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​Use it. It is free."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"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 would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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 think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
