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

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"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."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"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 easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
 

Cons

"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."
"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"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."
"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."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."
"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."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
 

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."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​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."
