HPE Intelligent Management Center Room for Improvement

Despite its effectiveness in managing numerous switches and network equipment, it lacks diversity in models. It comes across as rather simplistic without additional modules, and while they have introduced some models over time, safety features are notably absent. One notable deficiency is the lack of online support for the product.

HPE Intelligent Management Center is a bit slow when you navigate between the different pages. 

It is not a VM performance issue: CPU and memory utilization are not full.

I would like to see full support for third-party devices. We can monitor any third-party devices with SNMP, but we can only deploy firmware on a few.

Documentation is pretty weak. HPE have an excellent They have a Youtube channel that provides some excellent guidance but the content is sporadically released (there have only been 2 videos in the last year) and unstructured (it seems to follow whatever the author wants to present rather than some structured curriculum). I think they could invest in building a more consistent training library for this product.

Additionally, it isn’t very intuitive to use. I understand why as they have had to make most elements as generic as possible in order to support as many equipment vendors as they can. This has the unfortunate flow-on effect of often being fairly difficult to configure specific elements; this could be easily improved through better documentation and design examples. These challenges make mastering IMC a fairly steep learning curve.

The integration with other network devices needs improvement.

The stability could be improved, as well as the price, which could be reduced.

I would like to see better integration.

The ease of use needs to be improved. It needs better automated provisioning, automated alert creation, automated scanning of the devices you add to do a better job of knowing what needs to be probed and what doesn't.
