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.

Monitoring ease and cost-saving benefits enhance operational efficiency

The monitoring in OP5 Monitor is very easy because we can directly use custom plugins. We can write custom scripts and use those scripts directly. It's very low cost, open, and the dashboards are easy to see. We can extract the reports easily, and this is very easy to compare. Real-time monitoring in OP5 Monitor provides data every one minute or every five minutes, enabling us to get live data from the last one minute or last five minutes. OP5 Monitor gave us proper server availability, so we can always check whether a server goes down or the server CPU and memory decreases. Before reaching a particular bottleneck situation, we identified and fixed the issue, which helped us from a cost-saving business perspective. It helped us avoid application downtime.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"We can add VLAN and update it."

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

"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."

"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."

"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."

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

More HPE OneView pros

"OP5 Monitor is a great choice due to its being built on an open-source monitoring tool and provides ample opportunity for customization based on specific support requirements. It is also user-friendly and easy to manage with a wide range of plugins available for use. In comparison to other enterprise tools, such as Micro Focus, OP5 Monitor stands out for its features and cost-effectiveness, making it the best tool in the market. Customization is one of the key strengths of the tool and provides a lot of capabilities. Additionally, it is easy to find support and plugins for the tool through online resources."

"It monitors and continuously tests everything that is of importance to you and your users. It could be everything from monitoring disk space to CPU usage to memory. It could include determining if the response time in your e-commerce platform is quick enough, or whether you have too many bounces from some of the pages on your website. You want to monitor anything that could cost you money or time or resources. You can do that with this system. It's very flexible."

"With limited hardware or a virtual machine, you can address a huge network, hundreds of thousands of elements that need to be monitored. Other commercial software is not on that level."

"The API makes it pretty easy to integrate with any system."

"We can also observe whatever we want, and there are no limitations."

"The best feature is that it is very relatable, stable, and scalable. The logger is a part of the software, but it's not the most important point of it."

Cons

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

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

"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."

"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 believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."

"It needs more reporting capabilities."

"The logs are not proper."

More HPE OneView cons

"We do not get performance reports properly."

"The solution is useful for tweaking. However, there have been some negative experiences, such as limited report capabilities. The only report available is in PDF format, making it difficult for teams managing multiple servers to extract data in Excel format. The speaker recommends that the team improve the report capabilities to better serve users."

"They need to improve the dashboard interface."

"OP5 Monitor could include application monitoring in addition to infrastructure monitoring. If application business transactions were monitored, it would be helpful."

"OP5 lacks some visualization, a feature that makes some other products nice. Op5 is built for purpose, which is fine, but if you compare it with some new products, the visualization is not so appealing, especially for management... If you don't need fancy visualizations, OP5 is fine."

"The user interface is not what we are used to these days, and should be improved."

"IT environments today are in constant flux. This is driven by the newer cloud technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker, etc. The whole Nagios-based monitoring system that OP5 is created on top of, is based on a host-service model. There is a need for a strategy on what to do with more dynamic environments. There is some cool stuff going on in that direction."

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."

"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 am happy with the price."

"HPE could lower the price."

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

"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."

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

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"OP5 has a very low price as a solution, compared to many other solutions out there."

"The cost of the license and support are separate. If you want platinum call support, it will cost more than a regular call. I did not opt for it, as it is an additional cost."

"It was not expensive. And because it's less demanding in terms of hardware, you don't have to pay for another SQL or other database license, and you can have a huge installation on one machine..."
