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.

Effortlessly blends management systems for comprehensive infrastructure insight
ServiceNow IT Operations Management brought together Intune and SCCM or MECM really well. It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation. Additionally, the performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to track information in an easy way."
"From my perspective as an asset manager, the most valuable feature of the solution is the configuration management portion, where I can actively add something to the database."
"The Discovery feature is the most valuable. I only use the Discovery and Service Mapping features. I am using the minor subscription called ITOM Visibility, which includes the Discovery and Service Mapping features. It is easy to understand and easy to use. It has a lot of documentation. You can find a lot of help online, which helps me in finding what I need in a rapid way. You can find videos on YouTube channels and a lot of stuff and information in the online community."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are ease of use, intuitive design, and ease of management, and its based on IT practices which are good."
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
"Provides everything in one solution."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"I like the tool's discovery feature."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"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 solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The solution’s licensing cost could be improved."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"The setup and deployment could be simplified, and the pricing could improve."
"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"​I am happy with the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"It has different subscription models."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
