We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and HPE OneView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It delivers our customers many metrics, so they may make decisions"
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. "
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"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."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
