Gaining seamless monitoring and customization capabilities

One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click. The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios. The features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers. There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.

A suitable choice for unified and efficient infrastructure monitoring across diverse environments providing user-friendly GUI, cost-effectiveness, and versatility

We use it for this specific client, they've deployed multiple instances of it across various locations to facilitate monitoring. To effectively monitor their infrastructure, it seems necessary to implement additional monitoring solutions for all three types of devices they have Nagios Fusion…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good."

"Deploys faster new virtual services."

"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."

More HPE OneView pros

"It's very easy to manage and monitor it."

"It is easier for client installation, and the configurations are doable even for a newcomer in the field."

"Being open source lets us customize it for our monitoring needs, saving us money."

"Nagios Fusion version 12.8 excels in user-friendly GUI design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment."

Cons

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

"The logs are not proper."

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."

"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

More HPE OneView cons

"In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software."

"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution."

"There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."

"Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"HPE could lower the price."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

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

"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."

"Use it. It is free."

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

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the broader market."
