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 network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better

The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "

"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."

"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

More HPE OneView pros

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."

Cons

"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."

"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."

"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."

More HPE OneView cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"HPE could lower the price."

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

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

"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."

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

"Use it. It is free."
