Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I'm using this solution for Windows and Linux servers, backup servers, and Oracle database servers. We're using a mix of two versions. We have version 7 and version 6.60. The solution is deployed on-premises. There are currently six people using this solution in my organization. We currently don't…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"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."
"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."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"One of the most beneficial features of Huawei eSight is its simplicity and ease of use."
"eSight allows me to monitor and solve any problem in the backbone and any switch in real-time."
"We use Huawei eSight to monitor devices like Wi-Fi controllers, LAN switches, and routers."
"The most important features are alarm management and the visualization of the health of our network devices."
"We can scale the solution."
"The solution's most valuable dashboard features include monitoring storage, resource availability, and hardware alarms."
"The product is stable."
"Huawei eSight provides businesses with monitoring capabilities of network devices across your network."
 

Cons

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"​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."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"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."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"The price could be less costly."
"Huawei eSight should work on the option to have the email notification working on Office 365 Exchange."
"The solution needs to improve it's user interface to make it more modern and stylish. They need to design proper menu positions, features, etc. Right now the layout is complicated."
"The variety of license types should be made simpler as, at present, it is complex."
"Something that could be improved is the lack of integration with Cisco switches. In the next release, I would like to see better reporting."
"It will be better if they can make the simple network topology part more presentable. It would also be better if they had API integration and integration with third-party devices."
"This solution could be improved by offering monitoring for all devices and not only Huawei devices."
"The solution and the operating system come separately. It would be easier if we did not have to deploy anything. A bundle feature would be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"HPE could lower the price."
"​Use it. It is free."
"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."
"Its pricing is better than any other Huawei product. Some products are cheaper in Huawei, and some products are cheaper in Cisco. Cisco has more benefits and options than Huawei if you consider different network environments."
"The pricing for Huawei eSight is reasonable, especially with the base license and incremental licenses for additional devices. However, the variety of license types can be a bit complex. We used to sell eSight but switched to another solution, so we're not actively trading it anymore."
"I would rate this solution a nine out of ten for pricing. The pricing depends on which features you use and can become expensive."
"Pricing depends on the competition. If your competitor is like Cisco, then Huawei is much more competitive when it comes to pricing."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The price is very expensive."
