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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
 

Cons

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"HPE could lower the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
