Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Provides the strongest support for automation.""It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert.""​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​""The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks.""Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services.""OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access.""We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good.""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."

"Our customer was happiest with the price of this product.""The ease of setup is the most valuable aspect of this solution. It's easy to set up and run tests.""The most valuable feature is the deployment because it's very easy to deploy real flow through the network.""It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games."

Cons
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​""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 solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required.""They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved.""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.""I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware.""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.""Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."

"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved.""Improvements in network performance are essential.""Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers.""You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "​Use it. It is free."
  • "​I am happy with the price."
  • "HPE could lower the price."
  • "I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
  • "The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
  • "Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
  • "This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
  • More HPE OneView Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It cost us approximately 25,000 for two years. This is cheaper than ThousandEyes."
