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 solution with a great monitoring system and ability to control access remotely
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment depends on the size of a customer. We make the customer in the enterprise server, and there is a download per customer for the installation package. We can also roll it out very easily, and when we install it on one or two systems, it explores the network for more systems. We can then fire a deployment package on the other systems. So in one hour, we can do a lot. Most of the time, 90% of the work is very easy, and the last 10% are the business-critical systems from a customer. Also, we manually install important customer systems, like special applications where we like to monitor specific services in the server itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is for management purposes and it provides reporting and dashboard functionalities."
"The ease of installation and use help you to come up with a turnkey solution as quickly as possible."
"I definitely recommend OneView; if you are an HPE shop, it's the way of the future."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"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."
"HPE provides the strongest support for automation which is very important in the cloud environment."
"The deployment was easy, it has many features, and it is a great solution that is easy to use while providing a good inventory of your hardware and firmware."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"One of the applications I have used the most was to troubleshoot users and I've never faced difficulties or issues with the application itself."
"It has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
 

Cons

"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"Stability is a hit and miss."
"The technical support is terrible. They don't know what to do if you have an error; they cannot solve it."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"In OneView, we only have the web interface to check the switch. It lacks flexibility."
"When the tool set first launched, the HPE support organization had some challenges."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"Sometimes the speed is a problem. When I've been remote controlling people, from time to time, there were some issues with people in Hong Kong."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
"Remote Desktop Assistance for Mac endpoints - not having this functionality is a major inconvenience in having to have two systems for clients using this platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"​I am happy with the price."
