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

"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."

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

"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 initial setup is easy."

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."

"Provides the strongest support for automation."

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

More HPE OneView pros

"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."

"Everything is available within one console."

"Nutanix is a HCA product and includes VMware called Nutanix Express that has been fantastic for us. We have about 100 plus VMs without any trouble and we have VCDR."

"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."

"Duplication and compression work for data in a hybrid solution."

"In the six years we have been using Nutanix Prism, we have never had a problem with stability."

"Nutanix Insights... does analytics on resource usage for all virtual machines to determine if they are using the allocated resources efficiently or if they are wasting them. It gives us insights into which virtual machines are using the resources over the past months or weeks or days, and which ones are not using them. That way, we can rearrange resource usage for the virtual machines."

"It also does a good job when it comes to optimizing performance with machine learning and AI. It's able to identify the VMs that are constrained and not constrained, and which ones are "bully" or not. It gives you a recommendation based on your usage. It learns your user environment."

More Nutanix Prism pros

Cons

"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."

"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."

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

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

"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."

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

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."

More HPE OneView cons

"We're running VMware's ESX hypervisor and a lot of networking isn't done in Prism, it's done at the vCenter level. But for the few proofs of concept that I've done, Prism hasn't been a good experience because there's a lot of command-line work that needs to be done to configure the network."

"I would like to have some cluster management tools included."

"From a customer management side, the payment process for licenses is quite cumbersome."

"No integration of commands to manage AHV."

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

"When we get a request from a user for a file-level recovery, there are self-recovery options, but they only work if the replication is available to that cluster locally... In VMware, we could restore a VM and attach the hard drive to any other server and copy the file easily. But that kind of facility is not available in AHV."

"It would be ideal if there was more of a community around the solution so that it would be easier to learn things about the solution from other users."

"The licensing cost has room for improvement."

More Nutanix Prism cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"Use it. It is free."

"HPE could lower the price."

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

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

"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."

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

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"I consider it a worthwhile investment."

"Nutanix Prism is quite an expensive solution compared to VMware."

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

"The licensing aspect is painful. We are told, "This is when you have to renew. This is the serial number and the part number," et cetera. But it's difficult to know where something belongs unless you dive into the portal and search in multiple areas for a particular serial number."

"Nutanix Prism is affordable. It depends on the category of license you select. They have multiple options, and we selected the one that was suitable for our infrastructure and requirements. The licensing model worked for us."

"The good thing about Nutanix Prism is that we don't have to pay for a hypervisor, but their licensing cost is a little bit on the high side."

"As far as pricing goes, it's competitive for what you get. There are probably less expensive hyper-converged solutions, but I don't think they're as mature or have the feature set that we get with Nutanix."

"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is around $10,000 for a two-year license."
