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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"We've had great feedback from our customers about SevOne support. They're willing to set up a remote session upon request. You have to go through three tiers of support with most vendors, and they ask a lot of screening questions before they will do a remote session. You need to spend a lot of time before an engineer will host a remote session to look at your problematic system."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"Instant graphs, high frequency polling and the ability to create reports on the fly are the most valuable features we currently use."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"I don't think the product cost compares to the savings we get by detecting a problem and resolving a problem faster."
"Definitely go for it."
"But it is a good tool that works nicely; so far, we don't regret it."
"While some competitors have a feature here or there that might be better on the whole, this is the best solution for us on the market for the dollar with the simplest ramp up and ease of administration."
 

Cons

"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Good system management is costly."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"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 quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."
"I think that the upgrade process could be improved, which can be painful at times."
"Licensing costs can add up quickly, so know what you need to monitor and what you don’t."
"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"But keep in mind that if you're using the the PLA version of SevOne, the hardware support runs out in five years, so if something were to happen to the hardware after this period, it would not be covered."
"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."
"I think SevOne can improve by providing more details in their release notes regarding enhancements and changes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The pricing has not evolved with the market, which is one of the reasons we are moving to a new product."
"Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
"There are cheaper solutions available."
"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."
"Choose a SevOne partner who can provide SevOne as a service and can deliver professional services and maintenance."
"There are different options available for licensing, with the per-device option being more expensive but more flexible."
"It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."
"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."
