Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers comprehensive monitoring and tool consolidation but integration complexity needs improvement
There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks. Although these prebuilt features are great, there is considerable complexity in bringing them together to create a unified dashboard. Even with many good integrations and deep visibility, the implementation takes time, especially when it doesn't involve these integrations. While some other companies have easier APIs, using this solution demands significant expertise. It's challenging for new customers to implement independently. The implementation speed of non-PowerPack or non-out-of-the-box integrations should be improved. Additionally, the AI automation feature is not yet very rich due to resource constraints supporting a wide platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good.​"
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"We can add VLAN and update it."
"It is simple."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"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."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"The logs are not proper."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I am happy with the price."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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 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."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"I'm not the best person to discuss pricing, but what I do know is that it's a use-and-go structure. You use this much storage and pay this much for it. That's how it is. Every time, we continue to add a large amount of data to the environment."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
