Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers comprehensive monitoring and tool consolidation but integration complexity needs improvement
There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks. Although these prebuilt features are great, there is considerable complexity in bringing them together to create a unified dashboard. Even with many good integrations and deep visibility, the implementation takes time, especially when it doesn't involve these integrations. While some other companies have easier APIs, using this solution demands significant expertise. It's challenging for new customers to implement independently. The implementation speed of non-PowerPack or non-out-of-the-box integrations should be improved. Additionally, the AI automation feature is not yet very rich due to resource constraints supporting a wide platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"HPE OneView allows me to monitor access and check the health of the infrastructure in a single console."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"Power packs."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
 

Cons

"​I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits.​"
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs 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."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"If I were a small to medium business, I probably wouldn't choose this provider. It is a heavily configurable, heavyweight, and scalable IT solution for IT infrastructure monitoring."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I am happy with the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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."
"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."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."
