Haseeb Sheikh

Senior Manager Enterprise Solutions at a media company with 201-500 employees

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.

Sajith Alawwa

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

"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

"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."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"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."

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."

"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."

"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 lose less time managing the machines."

"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."

"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."

"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."

"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."

"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."

"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 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."

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

More HPE OneView cons

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."

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

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"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."

"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."

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

"I am happy with the price."

"Use it. It is free."
