Proactive monitoring has improved availability and capacity reporting for my infrastructure
The current features including availability, performance, and capacity are good enough, and I think more of better alerting along with improved thresholds of alerts should be implemented. It is helpful, but it should also include the capability to detect zero-day attacks if there are any. I think the remediation could have been better. For example, if I am upgrading my firmware or BIOS or firmware of the infrastructure, it should give me exact CVSS scores and remediation data provided against the CVSS scores. I think the Dell CloudIQ app could be more interactive. If there is a possibility that I can open tickets or SRs via the Dell CloudIQ app, that would be a good feature.

Gaining seamless monitoring and customization capabilities
One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click. The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios. The features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers. There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."
"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"Our company uses the solution for forecasting capacity and performance via cloud visualization that is maintained by Dell."
"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."
"We chose this solution because it is a free product offered from Dell which you can use to monitor, manage and optimize cybersecurity."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."
"Its simplicity is the most valuable feature."
"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"Its ease of use and that it is a single-pane-of-glass are the most valuable features."
"I would definitely advise them to work with HPE."
"Just having a centralized view, instead of having to go to each chassis for managing Virtual Connect is very helpful; I got it all in one place."
 

Cons

"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."
"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."
"I think the remediation could have been better."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"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."
"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."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"​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.​"
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."
"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"​I am happy with 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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"​Use it. It is free."
"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."
"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."
