Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part

The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

More HPE System Management Homepage pros

Cons

"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."

"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."

"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."

"Good system management is costly."

"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."

"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."

"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful."

More HPE System Management Homepage cons

"On a scale of one to ten, I am neutral because it is not too good and not too bad."

"High-frequency polling is data-intensive because you're pulling more. If SevOne could figure out a way to manage the impact of high-frequency polling on the system, that would be very popular."

"Although it is a very good monitoring tool, it can be confusing when you try to add devices and they don’t appear correctly."

"SevOne could improve its flexibility because it isn't fully customizable and its out-of-the-box configuration doesn't cover all use cases."

"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."

"We initially had issues getting the product to accommodate the number of network devices to monitor."

"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."

"Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is fair."

"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."

"The license was included when we purchased the server."

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."

"There are different options available for licensing, with the per-device option being more expensive but more flexible."

"The pricing has been fair."

"Many tools price things based on the number of KPIs that you're collecting around a device. In many cases, there could be hundreds of metrics that you need to collect. SevOne provides device-level pricing. That gives us the flexibility to turn on, and expand on, the metrics that we're collecting around those devices, without taking a financial hit."

"Choose a SevOne partner who can provide SevOne as a service and can deliver professional services and maintenance."

"It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."

"The tool is not expensive. We were able to negotiate with SevOne on pricing."

"Although I don't have exact details in terms of cost, my experience has been that SevOne is willing to make a deal with the customer."

"There are cheaper solutions available."
