Good end-to-end voice quality monitoring and offers valuable features

The solution should have automatic baseline detection. On the per hour, per base, per week. That's usually the best. And on a per individual CI level. I know that they're working on it and when that's available then we will definitely implement it because it will reduce the effort we need to maintain all the products. Right now we have to set thresholds for every location, and it needs to be actually dynamic so if we have better thresholding, we'll have faster alarms across all our locations. We won't have to expend effort on it by resetting or checking them on a regular basis.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good end-to-end monitoring"

"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."

"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."

"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."

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."

"We lose less time managing the machines."

"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."

"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."

Cons

"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."

"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."

"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."

"Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product, even when asked simplistic questions."

"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."

"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"Use it. It is free."

"HPE could lower the price."

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"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."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."

"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."
