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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"OneView is a nice choice: It is visually appealing, easy to use, easy for managing servers going forward, and easy for building servers at a profile level, versus going in traditionally and configuring all that stuff, because it can automate all that stuff."
"It keeps our costs down and improves the time it takes to manage our infrastructure and deploy."
"In the latest version, I like the way that everything's been consolidated and brought together, one single pane of glass for management."
"It provides a centralized management system for storage, switches and servers and helps to monitor all of this equipment."
"It's great because it tracks warranty and support status but it also gives me the ability to go in and configure server profiles."
"Absolutely install it. Don't get too far behind with more HPE storage or servers without this product."
"The single pane-of-glass and unified API allows you to handle everything from one single interface."
"Since we started using OpMon, we have increased our assertiveness and consequently reduced costs with fewer errors."
"As a consulting company we implement management solutions to a large variety of companies and after working with OpMon our project time was reduced and we can offer a different solution to each customer."
 

Cons

"The system currently has 75,000 alerts that are either being acknowledged or some are active, and there's not a simple way of selecting a whole filtered list and then closing them off and deleting them."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"I don’t like HP support very much, as they tend to transfer me to random places that don’t help me very much."
"I know we tend to have issues with our server profiles. When we're changing server profiles and applying them we run into some red flags occasionally."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"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."
"The older platform requires iLO licenses but does not require the purchase of servers. This platform has problems because it is dependent on old class enclosures and hardware that cannot link or be managed with the solution."
"It was a complex installation. The user guide was missing content about the configuration."
"Infrastructure and business monitoring services need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
