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.

Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 allowed us to accelerate the base configuration far faster and more accurately than ever before with manual configuration procedures."
"I would think that any company would want to use it; it makes it easier for the user, the administrator, and makes it simpler from a reporting standpoint, and you can see your entire environment."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"In the latest version, I like the way that everything's been consolidated and brought together, one single pane of glass for management."
"I like the ability that we can manage multiple enclosures within OneView; it's like one stop shopping where you can manage all the server profiles and do everything from a blade enclosure standpoint using OneView."
"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."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great, but it is far, far away from good and perfect."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it gets slow, so it doesn’t always perform well."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"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."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"I’d like to see more functionality going towards the hybrid IT."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"​I am happy with the price."
"​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 would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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."
"It's very expensive."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
