Featured Reviews

ClaudioSalgado - PeerSpot reviewer
Has proactive monitoring with predictive insights and a user-friendly interface
Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually. It provides a status with traffic light colors, where red indicates danger, yellow means attention is needed, and green represents normal conditions to easily understand the health of the environment. The quick overview aids in decision-making. Additionally, CloudIQ's predictive capabilities, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence, have improved operational efficiency by providing proactive information to prevent issues before they arise.
Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."
"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"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."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"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 also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"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."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."
"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."
"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."
"​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."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."
"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"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."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
