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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
"It helps streamline management and processes."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are ease of use, intuitive design, and ease of management, and its based on IT practices which are good."
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"The end-to-end ticketing process is most valuable in ServiceNow IT Operations Management because its notification feature is excellent in keeping all users informed on the next step compared to BMC. I also like that ServiceNow IT Operations Management is very user-friendly."
 

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."
"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 network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"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."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"The time for deployment of ServiceNow IT Operations Management depends on many factors. It's a SaaS application, it should not take too long, but if you want to define the tool based on your processes, then it would take some time. It fully depends on the company's complexity. There are out-of-the-box product flows and if you want to use them, you can from day one. However, if you want to customize it and change it to your company's practices, then it will take more time. The setup could be faster."
"The pricing is high."
"Even though they call it low code there are a lot of customizations needed, especially from an ITOM standpoint."
"Enhancing automation-related solutions, such as Wi-Fi, porting, machinery, and product automation would help to achieve better operational outcomes."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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 could lower the price."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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 am happy with the price."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
