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.

Keerthi Kumar Sangaraju

Technology Manager at FIS

Stable, easy to set up, flexible, and has multiple functionalities, but needs to define priority levels for each incident

What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."

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

"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."

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

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

"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."

"The initial setup is easy."

"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."

More HPE OneView pros

"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."

"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."

"What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."

"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."

Cons

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

"I have to chop it up into smaller parts, because I have an installation in Europe and it covers the whole world. That is not so good. They need to be more localized, so I am going to chop it up into smaller bits."

"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."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More HPE OneView cons

"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."

"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority."

"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."

"The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,"

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"HPE could lower the price."

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

"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."

"Use it. It is free."

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

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