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.

Real-time monitoring has improved incident detection and simplifies per-second troubleshooting
The key area for improvement is data retention and historical analysis. Netdata is excellent for real-time monitoring, but for long-term storage and deep historical insights, it usually needs to be integrated with other tools. Improving built-in long-term retention would make it more complete. Another area I see is data aggregation, where it correlates multiple nodes; while it provides great per-node visibility, having more advanced centralized views and correlations across systems would help in larger-scale environments. Customization of alerts and anomaly detection could also be enhanced. One area needing improvement is access control and security features. Stronger RBAC and user management would help control who can view data. Another area would be customization of dashboards, alerting integrations, and improving enterprise-level scalability features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you have HPE compute in place today, you should definitely look at using OneView."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"The hardware's reliability and manageability are important criteria while selecting a vendor."
"I think this is a very good solution if you want to have your compliance up-to-date, directly available, and you want to automate."
"It does make your life much easier."
"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."
"OneView is the one tool where you can manage your build environment, the hyper-converged environment, or the Synergy environment yourself."
"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."
"The biggest ROI I have seen is in incident detection, with improvements of forty to fifty percent, troubleshooting time by thirty to forty percent, and productivity gains of around twenty-five to thirty percent."
 

Cons

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"I know they're building more product availability within the HPE OneView, so a wider range of products are to be viewable, i.e., you will be able to see within OneView."
"When the tool set first launched, the HPE support organization had some challenges."
"There are still some limitations in OneView, as it manages only the hardware and not the applications."
"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."
"Although the product is meant only for HPE, it would be great if they were to incorporate functionality from non-HPE components."
"I'd like to see more integration across Hypervisor and 3PAR storage and other storage products."
"It was a complex installation. The user guide was missing content about the configuration."
"The key area for improvement is data retention and historical analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE could lower the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
