Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I'm using this solution for Windows and Linux servers, backup servers, and Oracle database servers. We're using a mix of two versions. We have version 7 and version 6.60. The solution is deployed on-premises. There are currently six people using this solution in my organization. We currently don't…

A very capable solution that includes a valuable, user-friendly workflow management tool
Our company has forty team members who use the solution for change management, problem management, and our intake process.  We use the workflow management tool for several provisions. For example, a requester creates the request, it goes to the floor for approval, and then it automatically connects…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"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.​"
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"It's easy to set up."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"From my perspective as an asset manager, the most valuable feature of the solution is the configuration management portion, where I can actively add something to the database."
"It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"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

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
"The licensing model of the product is a bit rigid, and it can be a bit difficult to downscale if your needs change while also being expensive."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"When it comes to improvements, I think that my colleagues and I often have issues finding the correct screen and the search box does not work as intended."
"Enhancing automation-related solutions, such as Wi-Fi, porting, machinery, and product automation would help to achieve better operational outcomes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE could lower the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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 am happy with the price."
"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."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"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 has different subscription models."
