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.

Stable, easy to set up, flexible, and has multiple functionalities, but needs to define priority levels for each incident
What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are very glad, happy with it."
"It improves our productivity, because we can use OneView for more than just servers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The main benefits are a single pane of glass, usability between the servers, storage, and network."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."
"Its ease of use, i.e., just being able to easily deploy a server is the most valuable feature."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."
"Bringing Loom in ensures that the incident process, request process, change, all of these processes are improved."
"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."
"What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."
"The solution is very scalable; a company wouldn't have any issues expanding it if they needed to, and we have a few thousand users on the solution."
"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."
"The solution is absolutely scalable."
 

Cons

"We are just now starting to bring it up, it has taken us around eight weeks and we haven't still been successful to bring it up."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see a change in the GUI, so that you can navigate easier."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"As it scales out, it's a little more cumbersome to manage."
"With every new version, new devices are supported in OneView, but we are still missing support for some HPE products."
"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."
"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority."
"The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy, especially in the initial setup which can take six months of work, especially when you have a large estate that you're dealing with."
"The reporting is a bit weak."
"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."
"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE could lower the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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 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."
"​Use it. It is free."
