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.

IP address management improves network efficiency but licensing cost could decrease

We are using SolarWinds for NPM and NCM, and we use IP address management for IP address monitoring. It helps us track which IP address is live and which is not. It also provides DHCP reservation and allows us to declare IP addresses for our integration. We have been using it for IP address…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"Deploys faster new virtual services."

"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."

"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."

"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."

"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "

"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."

"The initial setup is easy."

More HPE OneView pros

"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."

"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

Cons

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."

"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."

"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."

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."

"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."

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

More HPE OneView cons

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

"HPE could lower the price."

"Use it. It is free."

"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 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."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"The solution is a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."
