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.

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

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

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

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"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."

"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."

"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."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

"We can add VLAN and update it."

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

"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."

More HPE OneView pros

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."

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

"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."

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

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

"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."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

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

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."

"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."

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

"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."

"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."

"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."

"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."

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."

"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."

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

"Use it. It is free."

"HPE could lower the price."

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

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

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

"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."
