We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum 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."It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"What I like best is the configuration management functionality."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"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."
"From a functionality perspective, the product is not doing what it should. Also, there are some concerns about the accessibility. I would appreciate additional out-of-the-box troubleshooting scripts, like templates for addressing various issues. Currently, when troubleshooting online, I need to create my scripts. It would be beneficial if the platform could provide pre-built scripts or templates to help automate certain troubleshooting tasks."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"The GIS map feature needs to be enhanced and synced with topology views of containers and global collections."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"There should be better integration with other Broadcom products, like network performance manager. Currently, for every part of a product, you need a separate server environment. You have something for Spectrum, you have something for network performance, and you have something for NetFlow. There are a lot of islands and server farms with different technologies. They should be redeveloped to get one platform for all."
"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."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"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."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"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."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"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."
