IT Architect Consultant at RTFM

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.

Server Applications Senior Administrator at Home Hardware Stores Limited

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

"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."

"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

"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."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."

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

"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."

"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."

"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."

"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."

"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."

"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."

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

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."

"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."

"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."

"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."

"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."

More HPE OneView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"Use it. It is free."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"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."

"I am happy with the price."

"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."

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

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