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.

Reduced our administration and rack space significantly, with everything in one box

Nutanix is a great product, but I won't say it is a data center product. If it could leverage or work with non-Nutanix infrastructure, it would be a total data center solution. Right now, with Prism Central, we can only manage Nutanix clusters. If we were able to manage the whole data center from the single pane of glass, it would be more helpful. I think that would help all customers. Also, Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation is limited right now to AHV clusters, meaning only Nutanix clusters. If it could integrate with all my infrastructure, I would have a pane of glass where I could manage my whole data center, including microsegmentation. They really need to extend its features beyond the Nutanix infrastructure. That is the one thing I would really like to see improvement on.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

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

"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."

"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"The initial setup is easy."

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

More HPE OneView pros

"It provides a single pane of glass and the graphics and the presentation are quite good. It's quite exciting for me. I would rate it 10 out of 10. The user interface is pretty easy to use for compute and storage."

"The solution is a high-performance platform that effectively handles three-layered issues like SA and network fiber cables."

"I like the general usability for general configuration. It is sufficient for everyday operations."

"The feature that stands out for me is the simplicity and ease of use. That is what comes to mind when I think about the Prism console. You don't need to be a core technical person to manage a cluster. Everything is available in the console itself."

"Simplicity, automation, and efficiency are some good areas associated with the tool."

"By using virtualization, we are saving on the cost of hardware."

"Nutanix Prism's dashboard is very simple, and you don't need much knowledge to use it."

"One valuable aspect of Nutanix Prism is how easy it is to set up. The setup process is useful to us because all we need to do is to set some variables and go with the recommended settings."

Cons

"There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"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."

"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."

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

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."

"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."

"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."

More HPE OneView cons

"There can be some constraints on how it scales, making granular scaling difficult with the product."

"In the next release, I would like the ability to browse data stores."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Each era every year, new economies arise and ways to develop the platform to improve both the interface with the end-user and to make the main load more flexible to the specialized user of the platform."

"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."

"One thing I would like to see is one-click migration. I know that's on the roadmap, but we don't have it yet."

"The lifecycle management and upgrade procedure should be automated."

"The cost is a negative aspect."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"HPE could lower the price."

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

"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."

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product's price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."

"I consider it a worthwhile investment."

"Compared to VMware, the price of this solution is great."

"This product is cheaper than using VMware."

"The pricing is reasonable, approximately $400 to $500 per core."

"It's expensive in comparison to the rest of our infrastructure. But the quality is there."

"Sangfor is cheaper than Nutanix."

"Nutanix Prism's cost is reasonable."
