Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups

My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

Does real-time monitoring, prevents failures, and has a reasonable price

Their cloud monitoring solution needs to be improved. I have already given them the feedback that it's not capable of meeting the latest technology needs. It's built like proprietary software. I can't expose the data to ITRS, and similarly, ITRS can't expose the data to the outside world. They have created a boundary. It's a bit binding solution. In the modern world, people like to be able to expose the data to do whatever they want. They can query the data, send it, or pull it. ITRS needs to provide more in terms of the API offering. They have documentation, but they can improve the documentation and provide videos to show how to do monitoring configuration or deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OneView is a single pane of glass, getting everything managed and structured for us and bringing all our tools together with templates that give us speed to delivery and make a big difference."

"Its simplicity is the most valuable feature."

"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."

"Scalability is probably the biggest influence for choosing OneView, as it doesn't matter if you're trying to manage 10 servers or 10,000 servers."

"First, that it’s simple; it saves me time and is easy to use, releases stress for me, and since I’m working with federal law, I really need to make sure that all of my customers and their data are protected properly."

"OneView is a nice choice: It is visually appealing, easy to use, easy for managing servers going forward, and easy for building servers at a profile level, versus going in traditionally and configuring all that stuff, because it can automate all that stuff."

"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."

"Overall, OneView is a fantastic replacement for Virtual Connect Manager and it's a fantastic replacement for Insight Manager."

More HPE OneView pros

"The solution is used across the entire investment banking division, covering environments such as electronic trading, algo-trading, fixed income, FX, etc. It monitors that environment and enables a bank to significantly reduce down time. Although hard to measure, since implementation, we have probably seen some increased stability because of it and we have definitely seen teams a lot more aware of their environment. Consequently, we can be more proactive in challenging and improving previously undetected weaknesses."

"Custom script toolkits"

"One of the benefits is to have 24/7 automated monitoring of our most critical services; in general, it has drastically increased the visibility of our estate, definitely improved our response times to issues, and enabled us to proactively detect issues and prevent outages as well."

"It is better than any monitoring product I've ever used in terms of providing real-time metric data."

"The ability to build integrations to tools that are not monitored out of the box is the most valuable feature."

"The result was a similar metrics monitored at a much better frequency, with a more stable product and a much better user interface."

"For my application, Geneos is detecting and helping us avoid outages at least once a day."

"One of the best aspects of Geneos is that it has a broad scope and can cover a lot of use cases. You can write your own scripts to monitor really specific things. And the rules that you can put in place can be quite complex for the alerts."

More ITRS Geneos pros

Cons

"The possibility to do more analytics regarding the status of the assets."

"If I remember correctly, our CTO was saying that he wants to see a little bit more of integration into the HPE StoreVirtual VSA product."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

"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."

"As it scales out, it's a little more cumbersome to manage."

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."

"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."

More HPE OneView cons

"The Geneos configuration has greatly improved since the nascent version 1.0 days, but still requires specialist knowledge and convoluted config debugging when something’s not monitoring as expected."

"They have the Webslinger solution where you can see when something is alerting. It's a little bit cumbersome."

"Mobile phone integration is probably not as rich as it could be."

"As far as I know, ITRS does not have integration with any version control system."

"It needs to have better middleware integration for things such as application and Microsoft SQL servers."

"Backward compatibility with deprecated features and in-system documentation on what configuration areas are needed to be updated can be improved."

"Still, it’s not that easy to create stuff to help with visibility and dashboarding in Geneos."

"Its web monitoring capability is very hard to use especially if there is authentication involved."

More ITRS Geneos cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Use it. It is free."

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

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

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"Based on feedback from colleagues and friends working in the financial sector, Geneos is relatively costly. Many companies have been switching from Geneos to Dynatrace, Sysdig, or other monitoring tools in the past two years because of the price."

"The market tools are on par with this solution, but if the solution included more features, then it would be well within the range for the cost."

"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"

"When I first came in, their pricing was very high. ITRS had a high expectation of what their price should be based on perceived value. I think they have been realizing, more recently, that there are other competitors, so their pricing is a lot better. Licensing for on-premise is okay, however I feel there is quite some work to be done for cloud and containers. We're still working with them to try and work out what that pricing should look like."

"It is expensive. They have to look at the model around when we move to cloud and how that's going to work. The licensing cost does pay off because of the improvements in support to our business."

"Pricing is the touchy subject, even here. Upper management always wants us to find a cheaper solution. But we have so much integrated with ITRS... It's expensive, but it does its job very well. And you set it and go."

"The pricing seems reasonable. We're happy enough with it."

"Its price is reasonable. It isn't too expensive, and it isn't too cheap, but it also depends on a company's volume and negotiation."
