Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups
My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

Great notifications, a wide variety of features, and excellent monitoring capabilities
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. It's nice to be able to do things remotely using my phone; however, in many cases, it would be very helpful to be able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer. This would be especially useful for things like remote access to computers. It's too hard to do much on a Windows computer using a tiny phone screen. Being able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer would be much more productive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios, and 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."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"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."
"The setup is simple."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
 

Cons

"​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."
"The logs are not proper."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory."
"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 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."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"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."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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."
"​I am happy with the price."
"​Use it. It is free."
