IT Architect Consultant at RTFM

Has proactive monitoring with predictive insights and a user-friendly interface

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. It provides a status with traffic light colors, where red indicates danger, yellow means attention is needed, and green represents normal conditions to easily understand the health of the environment. The quick overview aids in decision-making. Additionally, CloudIQ's predictive capabilities, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence, have improved operational efficiency by providing proactive information to prevent issues before they arise.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

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

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

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

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

"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."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."

"The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."

"Provides the strongest support for automation."

"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."

"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."

"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."

"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

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

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

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."

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

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."

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

"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."

"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."

"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."

"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."

"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."

More HPE OneView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"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."

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

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

"HPE could lower the price."

"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 am happy with the price."
