Meets the needs of the customer but all of the features need improvement
I do not choose the solution. The client does. I am an implementer. We are systems integrators. It is worth mentioning that the solution should be easy to install and offer the user exhibition capabilities. Also, a data sheet should be used to gather information about the product, to facilitate easy and simple implementation. I rate CA Unified Communications Monitor as a five out of ten.

Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"For us, it's very key to know the voice quality of the total solution, which is based on many components across many domains."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"HPE OneView allows me to monitor access and check the health of the infrastructure in a single console."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"OneView is a nice choice: It is visually appealing, easy to use, easy for managing servers going forward, and easy for building servers at a profile level, versus going in traditionally and configuring all that stuff, because it can automate all that stuff."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"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."
"OneView is a really good option and it makes our life easy."
"The product is really stable."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"It needs to support more types of equipment. Some types of equipment we have are not supported with OneView, so we cannot monitor those on OneView."
"I would like to see them improve the firmware and BIOS settings. I would like to make those a little easier to use and make it fit across more of our environments."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"In OneView, the permissions need to be done better because right now I can only select a server administrator, a storage administrator, and a network administrator as far as my options are concerned."
"We are just now starting to bring it up, it has taken us around eight weeks and we haven't still been successful to bring it up."
"I have not given it a perfect rating because some features are missing like adding other storage systems and providing email notifications."
"The logs are not proper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"HPE could lower the price."
"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."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
