Senior Systems Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Easy to set up, simple to use, and offers great technical support

There are quite a few manual processes. We've had issues with pulling reports. Sometimes we have trouble or get errors. The reporting process should be easier. If you have a hub, you should be able to have an unlimited number of servers. For example, if you have 500 servers, and the limit is ten, you have to pull 50 reports. We'd like to just pull one report for all servers. This also increases the time to pull reports. If we have to pull more reports, it takes that much longer than just pulling one. The product can be expensive. Right now, they are updating and consolidating the dashboard. I'm expecting an update that will resolve a few glitches in the server.

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

"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."

"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."

"I would recommend DX Unified Infrastructure Management to others as it is a good and reliable solution."

"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."

"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."

"DX UIM is scalable."

"It gives an alarm when there's something going on, not just when there's an expected spike that happens every night on a server."

"Great out-of-the-box capability."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management pros

"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."

"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."

"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 hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."

"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."

"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."

"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."

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."

"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."

"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."

"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."

"Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly."

"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."

"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."

"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."

More DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."

"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."

"We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."

"Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on."

"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."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."

"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."

"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."

"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."

"CAD $400,000 annually."

"HPE could lower the price."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"I am happy with the price."
