Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"In summary, for our requirement, SevOne does pretty much what we ask and does it very well."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"Technical support is 10/10; responses to questions are within 20 minutes and the longest time to be resolved was three days."
"Definitely go for it."
"I don't think the product cost compares to the savings we get by detecting a problem and resolving a problem faster."
"It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"It provides accurate data, which is critical, and I also like the very quick real-time reporting with one-minute polling, as I can pull up graphs and charts very quickly."
"It is a very efficient and highly recommended solution."
 

Cons

"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"Good system management is costly."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"I'm not really sure if this was the software's fault or a server issue, but a couple of years back the disks were failing on our SevOne physical server every month and the server would go down. The secondary server took over from the primary until the disk issue was resolved. That was annoying."
"Enhanced baselining capability would be an improvement."
"High-frequency polling is data-intensive because you're pulling more. If SevOne could figure out a way to manage the impact of high-frequency polling on the system, that would be very popular."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"I think that the downstream suppression could be improved."
"With the administrative management of the appliance, if some object appears from SevOne because something changed in the network or whatever, then as an administrator you will not be aware. If you are using this object in a report, this object will disappear from the report and you will not be aware of it. So, if you have 1,000 reports, you cannot always check these reports everyday to see if objects are missing or information has disappeared. We don't have any information on alerts, saying that something is happening there and maybe we need to take action. If an object was replaced by another one, or if a link was replaced by another one, then the graph needs to be changed because it doesn't exist in the graph anymore. However, we don't have this information."
"Setup was very complex as there were issues with the device pipes. We needed a lot of intervention and technical assistance."
"This product needs a lot of handholding and close collaboration with network design resources, in terms of choosing the appliance and the number of licenses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The tool is not expensive. We were able to negotiate with SevOne on pricing."
"There are different options available for licensing, with the per-device option being more expensive but more flexible."
"The pricing has been fair."
"Have a bank of licenses, because it is about the number of objects (RAM, ports, CPU, etc.)."
"A blocking point is the high upfront cost because it is challenging to get it accepted and the purchase approved."
"Although I don't have exact details in terms of cost, my experience has been that SevOne is willing to make a deal with the customer."
"The pricing has not evolved with the market, which is one of the reasons we are moving to a new product."
"Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
