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.

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

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"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."

"We can add VLAN and update it."

"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."

"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."

"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."

"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."

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

More HPE OneView pros

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

"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

"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 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."

"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"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."

"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 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."

More HPE OneView cons

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"I am happy with the price."

"HPE could lower the price."

"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."

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

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"Use it. It is free."

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."
